She emphasizes the three descriptive elements, which are using clear and concise language, a strong and identifiable dominant impression, and a consistent narrative point of view. Shirley Jackson uses very clear, concise, and simple vocabulary that carries her narrative viewpoint across. Because of the vocabulary she uses and the directions that she provides, it is very easy tom imagine the scene of the lottery. Since the beginning to the end she uses perfect language to portray the location of every subject in the story. \u201cThe people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and the bank, around ten o'clock\u201d (The Lottery) Even though the narrator uses very simple words, it is easy to visualize where the square that the lottery is being held is located. She also describes how the boys excitingly play with the stones and how the girls stare at the boys over their shoulders. Shirley describes every part of society in a different way such as the men, the boys, the girls, and the women. She portrays them in a very diverse way, providing clear distinction between them. When the lottery is held, she depicts the black boxes\u2019 past. \u201cThe black box grew shabbier each year: by now it was no longer completely black but splintered badly along one side to show the original wood color, and in some places faded or stained,\u201d (The Lottery) The adjectives used in this phrase give visual imagery of the black box, making the reader more interested in the object. Finally, nearly at the end of the story the narrator includes a lot of dialogue. This dialogue helps the reader understand what the conflict in the story is, and the length dialogue also provides some kind of suspense, leaving the reader with more interest and excitement. The narrator keeps a clear dominant impression of suspense that something is going to happen, such as introducing the big event at the lottery at the beginning of the story, and then leaving suspense at the end of the story because the reader doesn\u2019t know why Mrs. Hutchinson is being punished. The narrator also portrays a strong narrative point of view. The reader can imagine and visualize the story every step of the way because of the vocabulary and the directions that the narrator provides. Finally, the narrator also uses clear, simple and concise language, which makes the story interesting and easy to read and understand.","replyPages":[{"page":0,"digests":[],"more":0}]}],"more":false},"comments":[]},"http":{"code":200,"status":"OK"},"redirectUrl":null,"javascript":null,"notices":{"warning":[],"error":[],"info":[],"success":[]}}
