Blog Post #2: How does "The Lottery" suggest that unspeakable acts of violence can take place anywhere at any time and that they can be committted by the most ordinary people?
The Lottery lets us think about the true sides of each individual. Even though there may be some "ordinary" looking people around us, you do not know what other motives they make be thinking about. In my opinion, that is why we take time to "trust" someone to know that they are there for us and not for other beneficial or violent ideas. Violence can be committed anywhere because there are always people around. The Lottery tells us this by stating that even the adults are with their children, they are not fully protected. Most of the characters in "the lottery" knows how the game is played and for them to not stop the game, shows that their unspeakable acts are dangerous.
