We have read two different short stories for our English class: "The Lottery" and "The Storm". I honestly did not see very many similarities between these stories except for maybe the way the characters talked.
"The Lottery," I thought was going in a completely different direction than it did. The fact that it ended with the woman getting stoned shocked me. I was kind of appalled with the fact that the old man of the village, called the people of other villages idiots for stopping the lottery.
On the other hand, the short story, "The Storm," I had actually thought when the guy showed up to ride out the storm in the lady's house, that something may happen between them. This story did not really enthrall me as "The Lottery" had.
