1) The Perils of indifference suggesting that when there is negative things going on around the world people just stand by not helping.
2) In the story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson the ending was gruesome due to the stoning the community did to a middle age woman. when reading this it reminded me of watching the news one day and hearing about a 29 year old woman walking down the street getting stoned in Afghanistan. When i was watching this I found it to be very unbelievable that people would do such a thing to a person just because others were doing it. Then afterwords no one stepping in to help.
3) I believe that the story "The Lottery" relates to the Elie speech because it is proving that when horrible surprising things happen in the world no one care everyone just continues life but when the horrible things come to their front door then everything changes. People start to care. An example of this is in "The Lottery" everyone was wanted to be against the stoning thing but then when people weren't picked no one cared then started to help for the stoning because it wasn't their life in danger. Therefore in Elise speech a great example is when she was saying that Mrs.Clinton did not do anything but when a American person got hurt then she finally did something because it came to her front door.

cliche assignment
It was just a normal day the sun was shining and the birds were singing when we decided to go on the road again. We were just leaving a town when i saw a haunting house from the corner of my eye.
" STOP FATHER" I SCREAMED " i want to go in the haunting house". When walking up to the door the weather changed it started to rain cats and dogs. Finally opening the door taking my first steps in there. There was a man "hello sir we want to go in this haunting house" I told him
" OK but say your prayers once you are in you can't turn back" he explained to us
I told him " well we are going to walk on the wild side let's go family ".
Walking down the hall Iwas thinking in my head what a duck that guy was he should know when it comes between me and my parents it's always my way or the highway. But what my mom always said what goes around comes around so maybe he will get hit by a double decker bus.
Out of no where a ghost came from the wall then disappeared. "did you guys see that ghost"? i asked my parents
" a ghost no way maybe when pigs fly" my father was saying
But once again the ghost pops out but this time he is coming at me his white body almost like the color of sour cream closer he gets i can't feel my legs my arms feeling like rubber." HAAAAAAAAAA what where am I how did I get in my bed was it just a dream"
my bedroom door smashed opened " WHAT IN TAR NATION is going on here" shouted my father
"I had a nightmare what on earth is wrong with me " I asked
" nothing son you just had a bad dream when push comes to shove everyone has bad dreams once in a while just go back to bed goodnight son"
