smoothly in a sunny day. It also occurs during summer school break, which
allows the children to run around at that time of day.

“The morning of June 27th

th was clear and sunny, with the fresh warmth of a full-

summer day; the flower were blossoming profusely and the grass was richly green.”
Paragraph 1, Line 2

“School was recently over for the summer, and the feeling of liberty sat uneasily on
most of them; they tended to gather together quietly for a while before they broke into
boisterous play and their talk was still of the classroom and the teacher, a books and
reprimands.”
Paragraph 2, Line1

square and it acts as the primary location for the remaining part of the story,
playing a significant role at the end setting of the story. 

“The people of the village began to gather in the square, between the post office and
the bank, around ten o’clock; in some towns there were so many people that the
lottery took two days and had to be started on June 27th
th.“

Paragraph 1, Line 2

“But in this village, where there were only about three hundred people, the whole lottery
took less than two hours, so it could begin at ten o’clock in the morning and still be
through in time to allow the villagers to get home for noon dinner.”
