In the short story'' The lottery'' by Shirley Jackson the argument is that people choose to follow the others and ignore the bad situations in life. Also that people have to stand up against the wrong norms of society in order to not fall prisoners of evil.
In the news I read about California's death penalty. I found out that the people who decide if the convict lives or dies are regular people in the jury who might be biased and rule subjectively due to their belief.
In TJ when a person is murdered the witness decide not to say anything about what they saw. They follow the crowed by not speaking or saying the saw nothing. But all it takes is for someone to admit they saw something for the others will gain courage and say what they saw too.
If the argument was expository instead of fictional then the reader would get a harder better impression of the topic. They would feel more serious to what the writing argues and would probably have more importance to everyday people.
