The ending of the seemingly happy story "The Lottery" takes a unfortunate turn for the worst. In the last part of this story the happy respectable citizens of the nameless town took a surprising turn as they brutally murdered a poor woman with two children who were involved in the stoning of her. The disturbing news that in Rwanda there is a was between the Hutus and the Tutsis. The hutus brutally murdered thousands of woman, men, and children with no mercy and without thinking even for a second about their conscience.In the"Lottery" the people of the town brutally murdered the woman with out and mercy because they think that this is completely normal.
Eli Weisels speech is perfect when it comes to indifference. Hitler thought that the Jewish race was in superior to the German race for some reason. So he hired his army to execute any person with a Jewish background so that he could have what he called a perfect race. Almost the same in the "Lottery" except the people don't believe that there should be a perfect race. Except that the people of this nameless town thought that it is completely normal to murder someone each year due to the outcome of this so called lottery.
