In the story "The Lottery" by Sheila Jackson the author argues that everything isnt always how it is inteneded to be. A mother is someone to run to when the thunder roars and to lay with when the "cucuy" is under your bed. In the book " A Child called It" the mother treats her poor child terribly causing him to suffer the inimaginable. She is the exact opposite of what a mother should be. Now a days young mothers dont take their responsibilities as mothers seriously leaving thier children to grow up alone and with bad influences. jackson wrote this fictionally to exaggerate the writing to make a better conection to the reader other than expository would not have had the same effect.
