Standing up for what is right may not always be the easiest path but, most likely will be the best path. One example would be in “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson, she chooses to go on the stage to continue the tradition, instead of running away. Another good example would be from “First They Came” by Martin Niemoller people come and chooses other people by religion to come with them and the author/speaker does not speak out for others in which he did not choose the right path, in the end when they come for him no one speaks out for him as a result.
For one thing, “The Lottery” is about standing up for what is right. For example, in the text of “The Lottery” in paragraph 77 “Tessie Hutchinson was in the center of a cleared out space by now, and she held her hand out desperately as the villagers moved in on her. ‘It isn’t fair,’ she said. A stone hit her on the side of the head.” She didn’t want to as shown but, she still let them continue. Also she could have fought back before they through any rocks, or she could have run away but she didn’t because she stood up for what’s right. …show more content…
For example, in the text “First They Came” in verse 1 it says “First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out – because I was not a socialist. It states almost the same thing; the speaker/author did not speak out in verses 1, 2, and 3. This is an example of not standing up for what’s right, because he/she did not speak out for others resulting in the end where no one speaks out for him in verse
