"The only man who makes no mistakes is the man who never does anything."
Questions for “The Lottery,” by Shirley Jackson
1. What did the author do at the beginning of the story to make your think everything was normal?
2. (Try to use sentences, from the story to prove your point - for example: if the author
wrote, "She squinted her eyes from the strong sunlight as she smelled the beautiful roses," we
might think the author wanted us to think of happiness or being relaxed.
3. What happened in the story that changed your mind; where you started to think, "Hey, maybe
everything's not ok."
This is usually called the "turning
point." The turning point in the story
is a spot where an important change
begins to take place.
4. The climax in the story is usually, not always, near the end. It's the spot where the highest
interest is, where you wonder what's going to happen. It can be the turning point of the story or
just after the turning point.
What do you think is the climax of this story? Is it the same as the turning point?
*** A narrative short story is a type of writing. Narratives can be fiction or non-fiction. What is the
difference between fiction and non-fiction?
