I read this short story in a creative writing course I took last summer, and I must say, it quickly became one of my favorites.

Read The Lottery and discuss! Did you like or dislike this piece? Why? And what did you think of the ending? I'd love to see how everyone else feels about this short story. :D

'Hush, hush!' I whispered; 'people can have many cousins and of all sorts, Miss Cathy, without being any the worse for it; only they needn't keep their company, if they be disagreeable and bad.
— Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights
