Can someone tell me the summary for this lottery everything my mother needs can be found at woodman’s: cigarettes, milk, unsalted rice cakes, six black bottles of diet cola. i want to buy a lottery ticket, she adds, weaving stiff-kneed, half-blind, to the far end of the store, near videos and packaged liquor. neither of us knows how to go about it. i fumble, rubbing in the dots from numbers she has scribbled on a scrap of cardboard. i look at her familiar cursive, wondering what they are—not our ages, birthdays, not her wedding anniversary. that’s six and a half million a year for life, she says of the man who won last winter, and i don’t ask how she figured the years left in his life. nor do i ask if the money could buy back her teeth and eyes, her strong bones and lean flesh, buy back the summers she played squirt guns with us and caught fireflies we froze and sold to science for thirty cents a hundred. no one has claimed it, she whispers, as if everything is still possible.

In the poem "Lottery," by Rasma Haidri, the narrator first describes everything her mother can find at a shop called "Woodman's." For example, she mentions cigarettes, milk, rice cakes, diet cola and a lottery ticket. Besides, the narrator sees her mother as an aged person, having difficulties in moving her knees and in her sight. In fact, the narrator wonders if the lottery prize could give her back her youth and strength. However, even in the last years of her life, her mother is still hopeful about winning the lottery and keeps a positive attitude.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
