The lives of the people in the town are basically jeopardized due to this yearly ritual, the “lottery”. The people of the town, are obsessed with tradition that they forget their purpose of action and the effects it may contain. “Although the villagers had forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box, they still remembered to use stones.” The Lottery, page 71 line 221.

Anyone that the plague came upon, caused reddening stains on the face and the body would appear, which caused the individual to be thrown in a secluded quarantine factory. This disease appeared in over less than an hour. During this time no one could find the cure for this impeccable disease. As time goes on mass destruction is steady rising in the city.

Peter Smedley with his wife as he prepares to leave the world in front of a national audience on T.V, to help influence the government to change the laws regarding assisted suicide. One of Peter’s close friends commented ‘He would have liked to die at home, in his bedroom.’ Legally, he couldn’t get help to die in England, he had to die in a foreign country. Peter Smedley suffered from Motor Neurone Disease where he would eventually end up suffocating. To avoid this, Peter chose to end his own life (with the assistance of Dignitas clinic) where he swallowed a fatal poison.
They believe this was a right that they were given by our Four Fathers, which is clearly not true. Yes, they have the freedom of speech but when should the freedom be taken away? What about the rights of the innocent victims and their families? Hate crimes, because of their nature will always lead to violence and this is not a freedom that people should have. In my opinion, the penalties for hate crimes should continue to be more severe than that of a regular crime because so many innocent people are injured and even killed simply because they are different.
