‘Make them take their chance!’” (Jackson, paragraph 52) This descriptive text is of Tessie Hutchinson pleading for help, pleading for the villagers not to kill her. But they did not care, they continued to move in on Tessie, because Tessie did not want to die, so by saying that it wasn’t fair, she protected herself selfishly, not caring about how others felt. And to create a tense atmosphere for the reader. In the story, the author writes: “By now, all through the crowd there were men holding the small folded papers in their large hands,turning them over and over nervously.” (Jackson, paragraph 29)By describing the villagers fiddling their own “lottery” paper slips nervously, the author creates a tense atmosphere for the reader. And the most interesting thing of “The Lottery” is trying to understand what the symbols in the story mean, specificly that is the lottery and the black box.

In the play “Antigone” written by Sophocles, it is clear that both family and authority are honoured in many different ways. Both Antigone and Haemon honor family while Creon and Ismene honor authority. Antigone values her family as she fights against the law to bury her unburied brother, Haemon shares his thoughts with his father and also through his love for his bride shows family honor. Creon shows arrogant thoughts towards the ideas of family honor when he creates the law that his nephew should not be buried, Ismene shows strong honor to authority as she does not help her sister bury and honor her brother. Throughout this play Sophocles contrasts family vs authority which diminishes and changes relationships between family members and characters.
