About event
THE LOTTERY by Shirley Jackson -- (1948) A fictional small American community observes an annual ritual known as "the lottery", which is intended to ensure a good harvest. It is, of course, easier not to speak out against blind tradition until you are the intended sacrifice.
CATHEDRAL by Raymond Carver -- (1981) Overcoming isolation through genuine human connection. The narrator, initially skeptical and distant, learns to connect with his wife's blind friend, which opens his eyes to new experiences and empathy.
