Mrs. Hutchinson doesn't argue about whether or not the lottery is fair until her husband ispicked. Why do you think this is? Do you agree with Mrs. Hutchinson that it is unfair that herfamily was selected for the lottery? Why or why not? By shirley jackson 1948

A possible reason that explains why Mrs. Hutchinson doesn't argue about whether or not the lottery is fair until her husband is picked is that she never believed or thought that the lottery could fall on her family.

I do not agree with Mrs.Hutchinson because it would not have been fair if the lottery had fallen on any other family.

Mrs. Hutchinson does not find the lottery unfair, until her husband is picked as a winner. It is only when the lottery directly affects her life that she complains about it.

Explanation:

Shirley Jackson's "the Lottery" is a story about a bizarre ritual that takes place every year in a small community. The winner of the lottery dies, and although the the villagers are aware of this terrible fortune that awaits the person who wins, they nevertheless participate in the lottery. They are afraid to end the lottery, simply because it has been taking place in their community for decades. They believe that something bad will happen if they put a stop to it - that they will somehow be cursed. They fail to realize what a tragic effect it has on families that lose their members, until they are found in that situation.

Mrs. Hutchinson does not complain until her husband is selected as a winner. She should have refused to participate in the lottery a long time ago, together with the rest of the community. Until the lottery directly influences their lives, the villagers consider it fair.

- "he is a very real person and his intent isn't to influence us vonnegut addresses this towards the end of the letter when he says, if we choose to curse, that is by our own individual means."
