Elie Wiesel, a Holocaust survivor and the 1986 Nobel Peace Prize stands in front of a room full of important government people; he wants his audience to recognize that being indifferent is not the same as being innocent – indifference, “after all, is more dangerous than anger or hatred”.

He forces the listeners to wonder which kind of people they are. To him, during the Holocaust, people fit into one of “three simple categories: the killers, the victims, and the bystanders” and he forces the bystanders to decide whether or not to stay indifferent to the actual situation. He takes the time to list various actual civil wars and humanitarian crises (line 17 of his speech) and contrast them with WWII.

He makes sure that his audience realise what is at stake “Indifference, then, is not only a sin, it is a punishment” [for mankind]. He wants the audience to be really affected by what they hear – so he talks to them in their condition of human being: “Is it necessary at times to practice [indifference] simply to … enjoy a fine meal and a glass of wine”. And he also talks to them as government people with their duty and the power they have over the actual conflicts. He wants them to compare themselves with their predecessors during WWII: “We believed that the leaders of the free world did not know what was going on … And now we knew, we learned, we discovered that the Pentagon knew, the State Department knew.”

Wiesel finishes his speech by expressing hope for the new millennium. We believed he addresses these final words to those who will refuse to stay indifferent. But it seems that Wiesel would count them in the minority: “Some of them -- so many of them -- could be saved.” probably refers to this minority.

who would write me a short story about bullying but it must not have a boy in it and it must be clear and it must have character
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

There was a loud thud followed by a short sob. All the kids, including Lillian, looked down the hall to see what caused the commotion. There, on the floor trying to find her retainer case, was Julie. And standing in front of her, with her head held high, was Nicole. Nicole was gorgeous; long legs, shiny perfect  hair, and eyes that made teachers believe that she was an innocent angel.

But Nicole sure didn't look like an angel at the moment. Her eyes were blazing, her fists clenched, and her was mouth was moving.

It was never a good thing when Nicole was talking. She usually said sweet compliments to teachers, but when it came to students, her true colors came out. Just like right now.

"- just because you moved from some fancy rich school that would make you better than us?" Nicole was shouting at Julie, who was sobbing and shaking her head quickly. "You think that you're better than me?" Again Julie shook her head. Nicole glared at her and said a few choice words that weren't allowed at school.

Then, before anyone could register what was happening, she raised her hand and slapped Julie across the face.

"Nicole! Stop! You're gonna get suspended!" Nicole's best friend, Azzie, came running toward her. Nicole raised her arm again, but Azzie grabbed it, making Nicole stop. "Let's go. You're causing a scene again." Nicole looked at Azzie, then not waiting for her, stormed off. Azzie looked around at the crowd of students then hurried after her friend.

Everyone else looked at Julie who was still sitting on the floor. The, bit by bit the turned and went their own way. Everyone except Lillian. Lillian stared at Julie for a few moments and took a hesitant step toward her.

Then, before Julie could look up, Lillian turned on her heel and scurried off.

Two days later Nicole was suspended for three days and Julie sat with Lillian at lunch for the rest of the year.

Is this too much?
