Ignorance Is Bliss

After reading the short story, "Blood letting and Miraculous Cures", I have become more aware of how people in uniform or of authority are putting themselves in front of others needs. An example from the short story was when Eli's head was cut open and the police officers needed Eli to be fixed up immediately so that they could take Eli to the police station. Although there were several other people in front of the police officers they felt they should be served first. Another example is when I need help and I asked my parents before my brother or sister yet my parents always seem to help them first. As a result I'm stuck doing my work all by my self, and having no clue what I need to do next. It has made me more aware in today's society that people feel the need to be first and are not happy waiting their turn.
