Judging

I HATE it when people judge others just from hearsay and by appearances. So many people judge others instead of getting to know them. For example when i began high school in grade eight, I was sitting beside someone in drama class and she asked if she could move just because she heard bad things about a person in her vicinity and I was the only one beside her. From that day I decided to never judge anybody. For example when I met one of my good friends(lets call him Taylor) all i saw was a dumb jock but I took the time to hang out with him and I found he has a great sense of humor and is a great intellect. Today I got on the bus to school and a bit after he got on we got off and decided to walk to school talking the whole way there. Unlike lots of people I would rather take the risk of finding out some one is a waste of time and breath than be wrong and not have the chance to get to know some one. One of my camp counselors once told me "one more friend is one more person to remember you by or even be right there beside you when you kick the bucket". I belive that everybody deserves a chance an that if everybody gave somebody else a chance that there would be less hatred in the world.

Lottery vs T.P.O.I.

In both of the short stories there are examples of how people are denied help because they are protecting their personal intrestfor. For example, in "The lottery" just before Mrs. Hutchinson is stoned she is disputing that it was not fair but nobody helped and in "The Perils of Indifferance" a ship is turned away by the president that is depicted to have a huge heart. In "The Lottery" Mr. Summers says to stay with tridition beacuse he says it is the right thing to do and in "The Perils of Indifferance" it is depicted that Hitler says to kill the jews because it is the right thing to do. Both of these stories have Many connections these are just two that i discovered and are very true in every day life.
