Symbolism

In the short story The Lottery, written by Shirley Jackson, has a lot of symbolism. In other stories I know have symbolism Among the Hidden, one example of in that book is Luke's house symbolizes like a prison to him.  Some of the symbolism includes death.

An example of that is the black box because everyone stopped chattering and joking around when the black box came and your fate can be decided by the box. Another thing that symbolizes death are the stones. It is symbolic and lateral. Also the black dot is on the slips of paper also symbolizes death.
