"The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson was published on June 26, 1948 in The New Yorker. This short horror fiction story takes place in small town America and follows a town's annual tradition. In this episode, Hannah and Jon discuss the dystopian nature of the story, the foreshadowing throughout, and the horrific end.
Hannah has an epiphany and talks about World War II, the draft, and Elvis. Jon brings up The Hunger Games, "The Ones Who Walk Away From Omelas" and compares them to "The Lottery," even when Hannah tries to get back on topic. They both prove why neither one of them is a history major, minor, or even did well in that class.
