Based on the words and actions of Mr. Summers in Shirley Jackson´s story The lottery i think he is upset about the lottery.
¨ Well, now¨ Mr. Summers says soberly ¨ guess we better get started, get this over with, so´s we can go back to work¨.
This tell´s me that Mr. Summers does not want to do the lottery.
Mr. Summers is a good man. He doe the lottery in a fair way but he want´s to get over with the lottery. He does not likes the lottery.
