The Perils of Indifference
"The Perils of Indifference" can also be thought as the dangers of having no concerns. No concerns about anything or anyone. The most horrifying and tragic image comes from the story "The Cage". It shows how people can be so normal, with normal jobs, normal family, and act and feel as a normal person, then turn and take part in such a devastating destruction like the Holocaust. After carefully thinking about the title and the short story by Elie Weisel and the meaning it presents, it does make me think about the short story "The Lottery". It allows me to notice that the people in the town that attend this annual lottery are the ones that are at danger, but don't grasp the fact about what is going to come and don't feel that it is necessary to worry about something that dosen't effect them and there family, until it does.
