Has anyone ever..?

Has anyone ever read the play "The Lottery" by shirley jackson? Who are the main characters? my school is doing this play and i found out that i am the girl that dies in the play... is the one of the main ones? or just a minor character.. ? any information about what htis play is about or anything would be wonderful! thanks bunches

If you auditioned, you should have found out, or you can just look it up or read it or something. i havent read it.

I made it and they just told us today who the cast was, but she doesn't want to tell us our exact names and everything until our script comes in, just incase the names are different. and i have been googling it all day but i cannot find out much.. and i was asking all of you guys so i can find out sooner, rather than reading it and having to wait. *im not much of a waiter.. lol* any information will be great! thanks everyone! :D

Omg, i read it in my english class. it is so depressing. this town has a lottery every year. it's purpose is to "pick" a human sacrifice for the crops to come in. the way of picking is puting slips of paper in a box and each male draws one. the one male who draws one with a mark on it then has to have their whole family draw again. then, whoever draws that one with the mark is stoned to death the lottery i guess you are the girl who is sacrificed? lucky you! lol but her name is mrs. hutchinson or something like that. its a really good story, but very depressing.

You crazy kids and your moving avatars. About to give me a siezure, you are.

The Lottery is really pretty interesting. Rather short, if I remember. I can't recall all the details quickly, but I do believe that the one who dies is a major role. I think she actually sacrifces her self, in some way. Maybe she doesn't want her son to die? Anyway, it's one of those plays that could either be really good or kind of lame, depending on the acting that goes into it. Good luck with your role! Should be fun!

Sryz! i didn't know it was that "violent"

Hey guys! thanks.. i just got done reading it.. super sad!!! thanks for everything! :D

I HATE THAT STORY!!!

I hated it to.. it left me with a sick feeling concidering that these people didn't even think twice about it. Most of them went and were smiling and talked about their chores for a day.. it didn't make them think twice.. so sad!
