Question 3

          In the story "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson the people are apathetic toward the person who draws th black dot. This is exactly the warnin Elie Wiesel gives in "The Perils of Indifference". His warning tells how dangerous indifference can be. This is evident in Shirley Jackson's story. Not one person could care stand up for Tessie and abandon the their ways, not even her own family. This lack of caring is the difference between humanity and someone who is inhuman. The people in other towns had already stopped the abomination of a lottery because they were not indifferent to the plight of the victim. If only the the towns people heeded the warning that Elie Wiesel gave.
