" The Lottery" & " The Perils of Indifference"

In the "The Lottery" the people that live there are ordinary people that go along every day doing things to help their neighbors and when the lottery comes along the people know that some one is going to die but they do not know who it is. "The children had stones already......." "A stone hit the side of her head."

In the " The Perils of Indifference" the man is describing how he saw things happen in the holocaust and how he survived. " Why did some of Americans largest corporations continue to do business with Hitler's Germany until 1942?" The other people do not realize that every day people con commit crimes around the world. Every person who was under Hitler's control thought that Hitler was a good man and did what he said and they did not know what was going on in the concentration camps and when they found out what was going on then they sometimes tried to do the right thing by trying to stop Hitler.

The two story's tell people that some one that is walking down the street can do something that can hurt some one or Even kill that person. Sometimes when one person sees some one getting beat up or just getting picked one, they tend not to do anything, they just stand there or just keep walking. I know that because i have done that and i regret it every day and wish that i did help that person. Even the smallest person can do the best thing like murder. It does not matter how small or big the person has to be to do something. All you have to do is set your mind to it and go for it. Any one can commit a crime as big as Hitler or the smallest one like hitting one one but they can all lead to something bigger.
