The reader can infer that Old Man Warner represents the status quo or the way things have always been.

Old Man Warner is the oldest man in the town he lives in. He has participated in 75 lotteries and strongly opposes those who think that they would not be run anymore in town. He labels such people, which are normally of a much younger age, as "crazy fools". This attitude reveals the fear Old Man Warner has towards change, as he comes to accept the way things are because "it is how they always were". This is a dangerous point of view as it makes you to blindly follow traditions that may not necessarily be correct.

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

No, the author switches between lighthearted and somber tones.

Explanation:

Most people of good taste very much dislike being asked their names. To say "What is your name?" is always abrupt and unflattering. - <em><u>somber</u></em>

If you want to know with whom you have been talking, you can generally find a third person later and ask "Who was the lady with the grey feather in her hat?" The next time you see her you can say "How do you do, Mrs.—" (calling her by name). - <em><u>lighthearted</u></em>
