The Lottery

The claim that this story is presented from the objected point of view can definitely be supported. The narrator never becomes acquainted with the townspeople by saying "we" or "us." The story is told with no emotion at all and adds to the "dispassionate, matter-of-fact tone." It feels like the story is just stating the facts and tells you the information. By doing this, the story comes off as more cruel and just a fact of life. It also helps portray the acceptance of the lottery that most of the townspeople hold.
