The Perils of Indifference

The risk of no concern

The horrifically surprising ending in the story "the lottery" demonstrates how power in numbers can truly influence normal people’s way of thought. The dramatic conclusion of this story sheds light on how terrible crimes can be committed. In this situation people knew that someone would die. They were only concerned for there selves. They were focused on how they were not getting killed and not how terrible this event truly is. This situation relates to the holocaust. People during the age of this sickening time in our history knew what was happening to the Jews. Yet people did nothing. People may have thought that it’s not affecting me so I don’t need to do anything about it. The situation soon got carried away and Hitler needed to be stopped. Roughly ten million people were killed during this terrible event. People are scared to stand out. Normal people turn bad in situations like these. In Elie Wiesel's speech she spoke about how people tend to want to be indifferent, be the same as everyone in the group. They are followers not doing what there heart tells them, only what is expected. All of these works, people are not caring for others and being selfish, perhaps the day will come where our nabour is thought of first, before ourselves.



new 14. best thing in life

The best thing in life is boating in the summer with friends. When the water is like glass and the sun is bright, little to no clouds cover the sky. Wake surfing is what we do, Surfing the endless wave. The large crowds of people fill the boat weighing it down; resulting in what is an overpowering tsunami of fun. Talking with people on the boat makes boating great. The cameraman who snaps countless photos makes these memories last forever. It is like nothing else in the world. You can spend an eternity out there, on the lake, it’s relaxing, letting the wave push you along. Watching new surfers try this amazing event for the first time can be amusing. The Spectacular falls and bails fill the boat with laughter. Nobody cares for we all remember our first time walking on water and how difficult and hilarious it had been. The good memories of summer flow through the minds, remembering these good times. Being with friend, in glorious weather, in the most wonderful place on earth, is truly the best thing in life.

BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! Whats that terrible noise? Oh its the alarm. I frantically leaped out of bed, and hop into the shower. I have been looking forward to today for a month. My son is visiting with his newly born baby boy, Norman. I then frantically dressed myself and tied my rugged old hiking shoes, hair still wet and glasses sprawled on my face. the shopping list clenched in my hand, I rushed to the rusted old Honda civic, I'm on a mission. Save on foods the store of wonders and mysterys. enough food to feed thousands. my wife is making a grand dinner and I must be back with the nessesary items within the hour. my wife is quite the lady, a perfectionist to be put mildly. hahahah. The list is full of crazy foods, papiya, lobster, beats, turnits, yams, and jello are just a mear fraction of what is nessesary for the meal my wife wants to create. Its snowing today making the raods dangerous. the blinding blizzard makes travle hazerdous. I have to be patient if I want to make it home safe.
