Is it odd that people said they thought of me when they read this story?

Ok so its true I always like the more grotesque, weird stories. They're so much more interesting! The title "The Lottery" makes the reader think that this is something you can win or something you want. However this is definately not something I would want to "win". Also the town all gathers and is almost seems like a town party or another social event. The tension doens't really begin until the papers are drawn from the box. Mrs. Hurchinson claims that the lottery wasn't fair and she has some how been unfairly chosen. I think it is obvious that Mrs. Hurchinson has a background story unknown to the reader. This is apparent when she shows up late to the lottery and everyone says things as she walks through the crowd. These comments seem to be good though so I don't understand why the town would be plotting against her. The town and the families show very little emotion or the kind of emotion that would generally be associated with stoning somebody. They hardly seem nervous. I found it cruel when it is narrowed down to the Hutchinson family and when the other family members find out it is not them they rejoice instead of mourning that one of their family is going to be killed.
