The Whacking Day is a tradition in the TV series The Simpsons, tradition consists that once a year, all citizens of Springfield will go out of houses and started the search of snakes, to kill them using whacks. Both traditions doesn't have a concrete reason of it, The Lottery reason is to ensure a good harvest, and for the Whacking day there are many reasons shown, first because of religion, in the bible is written, also to beat up with the Irish in 1948. In this case the author need to be really creative, because he maintain the idea and mood but with different examples. the main idea of this is to show society how bad they are acting, like in The Lottery they are doing this tradition without any good and provable reason, just because is from many years ago, and in the Whacking Day happens the same, they are doing this tradition without any specific reason, and the ones they tell are fake and without logic. Finally i want to congratulate the author because people need to have lot os mind and creativeness to create this stories, and with that meaning they6 remind a good lesson to readers.
