Now, The Lottery, a famous short story by American writer Shirley Jackson, published in 1948. An early Hunger Games, sort of. Handout. Link to the story. Listen to Part 1 and Part 2 and read along.
"The Lottery is like the world's creepiest public service announcement against peer pressure. Similar to those warnings about drinking or smoking--except Jackson is warning against unthinkingly following along with a group."
