Write a research paper in which you argue why ‘The Lottery’ by Shirley Jackson was so controversial at the time. Look at Shirley’s reponse of an essay called “biography of a story” and find out more about the initial responses.
When “The Lottery” (127) first appeared in theNew Yorkeron June 28, 1948, it was greeted with great consternation. The large number of subscribers that wrote in seeking enlightenment or expressing outrage prompted Shirley Jackson to respond to the deluge of mail with an essay entitled “Biography of a Story.” Find out more about the initial reactions to “The Lottery,” and read Jackson’s response. Then write a research paper in which you argue why you think the story generated such anger and was so widely misinterpreted.
-Use ideas about what was going on during that time period, such as post war america, womens rights, holocaust, etc. I already have a couple key points you can expand upon if you so choose.
