Analyze the text in a five paragraph essay. To analyze The Lottery you should write a thesis statement based on something symbolic or thematic from the story. For example, you could write about how the color black is used symbolically. Or, you might take a look at the symbolism of names in the story--Mr. Graves, Mr. Summers, Mrs. LaCroix, etc. You might take a look at the theme of tradition. In other words why do some traditions stay even when they're bad for society.
So, you're looking at the story through a particular "pair of glasses." With those glasses you kind find things in the story that work together to make the story more meaningful.
The essay should be in 12 point font, Times New Roman, double spaced.
