The Perils Of In Difference

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.
