The Perils of Indifference

1. The danger of people standing by and not caring.

2. In the story "The Lottery" the towns people shocking end up stepping aside from the violence and let  it happen. Everyday people are standing by watching bad things go on without even realizing it. For example, in high school people are brutally bullied and harassed, students don't realize keeping quiet and allowing it to go on can build it up and eventually lead it to much more serious situations.

3. Elie Wiesel's speech talks about how peoples constant ignorance causes terrible events or even massacres, when everyone is raised seeing these horrible traditions and ways of living they can find it absurd when people with other point of views try to say it is wrong and should be stopped.

Creative Pursuits

Most people don't think like we do, they see us as disturbed, inhumane monsters. We on the other hand thought it was quite realistic. In reality, a baby costs a lot of money, it never ends with them. As they grow older the become more and more finicky, demanding everything new that comes out, especially the expensive things. It would be impossible to keep my husband, child and myself fed and taken care of, we'd last a few weeks tops. That baby would have been a drained us of ever penny we have and more!  Plus its not like we wanted it, this pooping, crying, messy creature, it was a complete mistake. I don't have the time nor patience to care for her. I think I'm doing her a favor handing her off to some poor baby deprived couple, why shouldn't I get something in return for it, i had to suffer through the pregnancy.  Though the government and everyone else seems to think different, and selling your new born on the Internet is in no way successful.
