In Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery," how does the contrast between the readers' and the characters' views of the lottery
impact the story? Please help

What is the effect of narrator's word choice on the tone of this passage? the words "my heart shrank within itself" create a fearful tone. the words "better-omened" set a hopeful tone. the words "wounded his fellow" develop a remorseful tone. the words "struck harsh upon my ears" suggest an irritated tone.
