Jackson's fiction is noted for exploring incongruities in everyday life, and “The Lottery”, perhaps her most exemplary work in this respect, examines humanity's capacity for evil within a contemporary, familiar, American setting. Noting that the story’s characters, physical environment, and even its climactic action lacks significant individuating detail, most critics view “The Lottery.” As a modern-day parable or fable, which
largest and most successful city renewal projects that have ever been made after World WarⅡin Japan. The project started in 1984 and took about 17 years to complete. The plan involved the city government, the land developer Mori Building Co., and the residents living in the construction area. Just to reach agreements with 500 right holders, the company had spent over 15 years (“Roppongi Hills.”).

This woman has everyone in her town fooled, but her pretty little dimple can’t hide her evil nature
Historically people from various societies and cultures have struggled to define, characterize, and set the parameters of good and evil. Albert Einstein said, “God did not create evil. Just as darkness is the absence of light, evil is the absence of God.” (Goodreads.com) A lot of people believe that evil is not inherent; it is nurtured.
