What is the main idea of The Lottery by sherliey jackson ?

Explanation:

Okay so i just recently read this.

So the main idea of The Lottery is that you cant trust anyone. In the village or town, they all have a celebration(event) Each year or so. Only about 100 or so people live in that town. If you read the story there are hints they are preparing for something big, children gathering rocks, adults having big meals and talking to one another who they with to win the lottery. At first you would think the children are just playing with rocks, but theyre preparing for more. Families hold dearly to theyre beloved ones. Everyone puts theyre man into the lottery box for who they want most to win. 5 go up on stage and the decide who is the winner by further reading. It comes down to a important man in the town. Everyone grabs a rock and chucks it at him and he dies.

In my opinion, In conclusion the story talks about not trusting people and to be careful with who you are with, even family can take you out.

(its a very sad and odd story but meaningful in its own way if you really read the short story. I had to read it in class)
