Here is the corrected version of your paper:
"The Lottery" takes place on a beautiful summer day in a small town. However, the location of the town is never given, but it appears to be in a rural community. The story begins as a regular summer day but has a surprising ending. In the short story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson, there are three symbols: Tessie Hutchinson, Old Man Warner, and the black box.
In the story, Tessie Hutchinson first appears to have a carefree attitude. She arrives late to the lottery and jokes about it with Mr. Summers. Mr. Summers told Tessie, "Thought we were going to have to get on without you." Tessie replies, "Wouldn't have me leave my dishes in the sink, now would you Joe?" After Tessie and Mr. Summers finish joking, Mr. Summers starts the lottery, and the men all wait for their names to be called so they can draw a piece of paper from the box. When Bill Hutchinson steps forward and pulls a piece of paper from the box, Tessie encourages him by saying, "Get up there, Bill," not knowing the end results that lie ahead for her family and herself. Once everyone has pulled and opened their paper, it is revealed that Bill has the dot. That is when Tessie changes and becomes a dynamic character. "It wasn't fair," is the first thing Tessie says, and then Ms. Delacroix says, "Be a good sport, Tessie." As the lottery goes on, Tessie wants to put Eva and Don in the drawing. "Daughters draw with their husbands' family, Tessie," Mr. Summers says gently. "You know that as well as anyone else" (50). Three children, Bill Jr., Nancy, and Dave, as well as Mr. and Mrs. Hutchinson, all draw from the box. Later, after opening the paper, it is revealed that Tessie has the black dot, which leads to her being stoned to death.
Old Man Warner symbolizes tradition. He is the oldest person in the village, and the lottery has been going on before he was born. "Seventy-seven years, seventy-seven times I've been in the lottery" (Lit.). Old Man Warner is the only one who seems to recall the seriousness of the occasion and complains that Mr. Summers jokes with everybody (Jackson 45). Everybody in the village now participates in the lottery because it is tradition and has been going on for years. However, nobody remembers why it started in the beginning. The villagers have all lost sight of the true meaning of the lottery. "They do focus, however, on its gruesome rather than its symbolic nature, for they 'still remember to use stones' even after they have 'forgotten the ritual and lost the original black box'" (Jackson 45). This shows that the villagers now see the lottery as a routine or something that is always done in June. "Although civilized people may no longer hold lotteries, Jackson's story illustrates that society's tendency toward violence and its tendency to hold onto tradition, even meaningless basic tradition, reveals our need for both ritual and belonging."
The black box symbolizes death in the story. The box is used to hold the paper that the men pull from. The original box was built by the first settlers of the village. The current box is not even completely black; it has been repaired several times over the years.
