The Peril's of Indifference

1.  The Dangers of Abandonment would be a way of rewording the title.

2.  Everything isn't always what it seems.  What's on the outside can deceive people, hiding what's truly on the inside.  While The Lottery is a good example of this, there are many others as well.  The seemingly passive village in the story turns out to be self-absorbed and uncivilized when it comes to their tradition values.  This relates to the teddy bear in Toy Story 3.  The stuffed animal appears to be cute, cuddly, kind, and warm-hearted, yet turns out to be a ruthless, barbaric, and merciless.  He exiles the newcomers as opposed to embracing the new members of the day care.

3.  Indifference - lack of care or concern.  Elie's Peril's of Indifference speech outlines the inhumane ways of indifference, many of which are shown in The Lottery.  People need to learn to stand up for each other, even though "it is so much easier to look away from [the] victims" of intolerance.  This is completely true, as shown in The Lottery when as long as it isn't them, everybody will join in for the stoning of a beloved community member, just because everybody else is partaking.  To be indifferent to "suffering is what makes the human [seem] inhuman".  Not one person spoke up for Mrs.Hutchinson as she screamed her pleas for mercy before stones were hurled upon her.
