Perils of Indifference

1. Horrible events that happen while people are aware but ignorant about it.

2. The ending of 'The Lottery' is similar to a movie I recently watched, the movie's name is 'Hot Fuzz'. At the beginning of the movie the main character who is a excelled police officer, his name is St.Nicholas Engel. He lives in London, United Kingdom and is informed that he will be moving to a constable position in the small town in the country called Sandford, which has a very low crime rate. Everyone at first is very kind and the town has a quaint perfect appearance. Sandford wins the 'Perfect town' award consistently every year. Later in the movie a series of so called 'accidents' are portrayed, though all of them are actually first degree murders. The officers of the police force are dimwitted, and have no questions to these 'accidents' since the head chief is an accomplice. In Sandford the main older towns people had a cult, that the main purpose was to dispose of miscrents in an accidental theatre. St. Engel finally finds out after much suspicion that it is this cult, which even tries to murder him in the end for knowing to much information. St. Engel gets away with the help of his literally stupid friend, that happens to be the head chief's son. The towns people are convicted in the duration of the finale and sent off to prison with Engel becoming the police's head chief.

3. Elie Wiesels's speech relates to 'The Lottery' because during the Holocaust some of the German population, who were not directly involved with the dispicable deaths of the 'different' but did not do anything to stop them. In 'The Lottery' all the town peoples are friendly to one another and kind to the victim, in the end nobody tries to stop the stoning, and participates in the throwing on rocks. People's actions on other human beings are disgusting and need to be reformed for the world to be sustained for a long time.
