159 Words1 Page
The lottery is a tradition we have in Indianapolis, Indiana, its when everyone in town gathers up at Warren Central High School and draws a ticket out the ticket box. Who ever gets the ticket with the red dot on it has to be stoned to death. This tradition first started in 1856, everyone thought it would keep our population steady. Everyone thought if we stopped the tradition, Yezuss would kill everyone in town its better if one dies instead of all. No one has questioned the tradition because they believe its the right thing to do and they dont want to disrespect Yezuss, he might put a curse on them. "The Lewis question our tradition, and they lost everything. All their crops were destroyed. We havent heard from them since." said Shirley Davis.
