- The children had stones already. And someone gave little Davy Hutchinson few pebbles.
- Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared space by now, and she held her hands out desperately as the villagers moved in on her.
- A stone hit her on the side of the head.
- "It isn't fair, it isn't right," Mrs. Hutchinson screamed, and then they were upon her.

On Lohafer
The entirety of "The Lottery" revolves around the ending. For this reason I'm not sure that Lohafer's experiment would work very well on Jackson's story because if the story ended at any other place, the plot would make absolutely no sense. From this, what I did find on my test of the story, using Lohafer's experiment, was that the last lot of lines were the only place in the story that I felt there was a fitting enough end to consider it a proper end point to the story. These lines make up the end of the story. What's interesting about them is that they all form this sort of cliffhanger ending, and they all could probably equally end the story with the same effect to the reader.
