I assume you are referring to (real quatro here) THE LOTTERY by Shirley Jackson which was not a true novel but a short story. The theme of the tale was (what if) society still practiced human sacrifice. the tale got into some of the technicalities of a sort of (paper bag) or anonymous ballot and a certain symbol meant the target personality was to be executed. Stoning was the method used. Shirley Jackson died in I believe l965 > through most of her life she refused to discuss the story, other than a what if society still practiced human sacrifice. (some Science Fiction writers have toyed with the concept). The Lottery was not sci-fi and was not anything liek asurvival thing where (Blind Baggage) would be selectively abandoned-liek euthanasia. It remains a disturbing tale.
"The Summer People" by Shirley Jackson is a short story about an elderly couple who seem to be dependent on the neighborhood for their needs. When they decide to stay for the winter against the wishes of the villagers, strange events unfold, suggesting that the couple may have a more sinister connection to the land. The story explores themes of control, power, and the unknown.
"I delight in what I fear." -- Shirley Jackson
The plot of Charles by Shirley Jackson is it is about a girl in kindergarten named Laurie who comes home each day and talks about Charles, who acts very strange. He eventually stays at the Hyman House and one day goes though a conversion where he is a model student and a teacher's helper. He then goes back to normal. Later to find out, Laurie made up Charles the whole time. There is no Charles in her class.
The plot of The Lottery is that the people are preparing to follow a longstanding traditional act, which is unknown to the reader until the end of the story. The townspeople are determined, almost compelled, to follow this tradition even though the reasons for the tradition are either no longer known, necessary or beneficial. I won't tell what the tradition is here. You will have to read the story itself. It is worth the read.
The plot line is Venus and Serina Williams p
The Lottery. Writer introduced the theme of human sacrifice in modern times.very, very controversial subject. She died shortly after the book was pubished and in her life never discussed it except she admitted to using the idea of Human Sacrifice ( not to be confused with capital punishment) as a plot element.
I thought that the plot of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief was rather silly. Even so, the movie is amusing. Silly movies can still be entertaining.
The cast of The Plot - 2011 includes: Katy Beckemeyer as New Initiate David Emerson Jackson as Peter Maren McGuire as The Shoveler
The antagonist in the book Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief is Luke Castellan. He is a demigod and a son of Hermes who betrays Percy Jackson and plays a significant role in the plot.
