The Perils of Indifference vs the Lottery

     If you were to re write the title The perils of Indifference it would be "Why show remorse when you can give it the cold shoulder?". It sounds harsh but it is the truth in most cases people are selfish in many ways. We all don't care about others misfortune until we are caught up in the situation. In the story "The Lottery" The ending shocked many readers in how the villagers behaved and showed that people don't care whats going to happen until its there turn. Just like in real life situations like bullying most people wont take charge because they are scared that they will to get teased and harassed as well. In the story Mrs Hutchinson had no concern or arguments until her name was picked for being stoned, just like when someone starts getting bullied is when they realised they should of stepped up when they had a chance for someone else. Eli's speech connects to the story "The Lottery" by there theme, Indifference when it doesn't affect that person they tend not to care what happens.
