"It isn't fair, it isn't right" (Mrs. Hutchinson, The Lottery, pg. 271)

Wow. How depressing. That being said, I think I may have actually made a connection: Mrs. Hutchinson is late because she doesn't see the significance. She has obviously risen above the society's obsession with the lottery because she forgot about it. What is my connection, you may ask? She's like John in Brave New World! Hizaah! I did it! Anywho, I think she's like John because she is the only one who seems to think the lottery isn't the greatest thing ever invented (i.e. Old Man Warner), and people are miffed. Obviously, it was the luck of the draw, but that's beside the fact that she got chosen to be stoned to death. Because she thought something out of the norm, she ended up being killed.
Now, for reading all the way to the end, I have a special suprise! Party in the U.S.A.! Just kidding...
