He eventually stays at the Hyman House and one day goes though a conversion where he is a model student and a teacher's helper. He then goes back to normal.

What is the plot in the story The Lottery by Shirley Jackson?

The plot of The Lottery is that the people are preparing to follow a longstanding traditional act, which is unknown to the reader until the end of the story. The townspeople are determined, almost compelled, to follow this tradition even though the reasons for the tradition are either no longer known, necessary or beneficial. I won't tell what the tradition is here. You will have to read the story itself. It is worth the read.

What Is The Plot For ''the summer people'' by shirley Jackson?

I assume you are referring to (real quatro here) THE LOTTERY by Shirley Jackson which was not a true novel but a short story. The theme of the tale was (what if) society still practiced human sacrifice. the tale got into some of the technicalities of a sort of (paper bag) or anonymous ballot and a certain symbol meant the target personality was to be executed. Stoning was the method used. Shirley Jackson died in I believe l965 > through most of her life she refused to discuss the story, other than a what if society still practiced human sacrifice. (some science fiction writers have toyed with the concept). The Lottery was not sci-fi and was not anything liek asurvival thing where (Blind Baggage) would be selectively abandoned-liek euthanasia. It remains a disturbing tale.
