I am currently reading the short story The Lottery. The genre of this book is short story. It is about a boy named Bobby Martin he lives in a small village. He lives with his a brother named Baxter and his dad. His neighbors name is Mr.Summers. The lottery is an event established at the same time as the square dances where. Old man Warner was the oldest man in the town. Mr. Summers had no children but he had a wife that was dull and boring. And Mr.Graves was in charge in all of the towns festivities.

The original paraphernalia for the lotteryhad been lost long ago. Mr. Summers had spoken frequently to the villagers. It was about making a new box for the lottery. The box was representyed for a story. It was a big huge box with lots of facts inside of it. It was very valuable and very fragile. Mr.Martins older son Baxter was holding box while Mr.Summers was stirring through the papers. I recommend this book to all middle school students who love short story.
