The Dangers Of Not Caring

The story, “The Lottery” is a very violent story that makes your mind believe that something good will happen when in the end it turns out to be a very bad thing. The do a draw every year and have been doing it for a very long time. The citizens all have to participate and and be there when the draw is done. The draw works out like this, you go take a piece of paper out of the black box and if yours has the marking on it whether it be and "x" or a "dot", well pretty much start hugging your loved ones goodbye because your dead. This situation is similar to the Holocaust, where Hitler manipulated thousands of people to slaughter millions of Jewish citizens. The only difference with the black box is it was only one person and in the Holocaust there were thousands and thousands murdered, just because they were Jewish.

The people in the story "The Pearls Of Indifference" Eli's speech is saying that people see when somethings is going wrong, for example a fight or a person getting bullied, but are too shy to stand up for what they believe in. People in our present day you barely ever see them standing up for someone who is not there friend. In our society every ones thinks its everyone for them selves to survive when in fact there all wrong. We should stand up for what is right even though we all our worried as to what may happen to us when we do, that's a sacrifice we all have to make.
