The narrator of Sophie’s Choice, Stingo, meets a young Polish woman at the Pink Palace in Brooklyn after World War II. She has a dark past due to some horrendous experiences during Nazi occupation in Poland and time in Auschwitz. It is important to take a critical look at her fictitious narrative and deem whether Styron has produced a plausible character. Also, it is key to assess if the stories told by Sophie attribute positively to real accounts of the Holocaust without trivializing the history in order to create a popular

Has anyone ever noticed when a pencil is put into a clear glass full of water the pencil looks bent? As most know the pencil is not really bent, your eyes are deceiving the way people actually see things. In The Possibility of Evil, a mystery short story, by Shirley Jackson, she uses parable like qualities from third person omniscient, irony, a free-floating sense of depravity, a gothic house, and a turn about in events to show that even if you are looking through a clear glass, everything is not always what it seems. Jackson shows this by using symbolism and themes: Do not judge a book by its cover and looks can be deceiving.

Bernard Curtis Brown II was an eleven year old ambitious science fair winner. Often said to be witty and joyful, but also studious, was unfortunately killed while on American Airlines Flight 77.

The eleven year old also enjoyed school. Described by his mother always waking up with boasts of energy and his teachers saying how much of an enjoyable presence Brown was.

A common phrase that many people learn in their youth is “never judge a book by its cover.” This figure of speech is usually meant to teach others to give something a chance before immediately dismissing it; however, the phrase can also take on a darker interpretation and be used as a warning to not trust everything that meets the eye. Miss Adela Strangeworth in Shirley Jackson’s “The Possibility of Evil” lives up to the dark irony of that phrase as the story unfolds. Jackson uses irony throughout many elements of her story to illustrate how evil can be masked by an amiable façade.

One of the oldest dilemmas in philosophy is also one of the greatest threats to Christian theology. The problem of evil simultaneously perplexes the world’s greatest minds and yet remains palpably close to the hearts of the most common people. If God is good, then why is there evil?

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener that was found in the mid-1983, it was considered as a low-calorie sweeteners that could substitute sugars. Ralph G. Walton, Robert Hudak, and Ruth J. Green-Waite (1993) performed a study to find out whether patients with mood disorders are vulnerable to negative reactions of aspartame in “Adverse Reactions to Aspartame: Double-Blind Challenge in Patients from a Vulnerable Population”. Initially they recruited 40 participant for the study which included patients with a depression history and also people without any of psychiatric history, but the study ended up with only collecting results from 13 people because the study was stopped by the Institutional Review Board regarding some severe reactions including eye problems and conjunctival bleeding. The study divided the trial into two sections for 20 days, each subject is double-blindly tested with both aspartame and placebo randomly in the first week or the second week to find out the effect of aspartame on the

The concept of morality plays an important role in human society. Through the discovery of what, exactly, determines that which is “good” and that which is “bad”, humans develop mechanisms that determine how they respond to or judge any given situation. What remains a mystery, however, is what, exactly, is the basis of morals. It is commonly believed that morals are learned through lived experiences, as well as, from those who act as each person’s individual caretaker(s). Even though these factors do play a significant role in determining morality, these factors alone neither create nor determine a person’s moral compass. In Paul Bloom’s work, Just Babies: The Origins of Good and Evil, we are introduced to the idea that morality, while partly learned, is something that is ingrained in humans from birth. Through multiple studies, performed both by Bloom as well as other psychologists, it is revealed that not only are babies able to perceive what is right and what is wrong, but also, from birth, babies are instilled with the innate knowledge of empathizing, valuing fairness and status, and valuing those who look similar versus those who look different. In spite of previous ideas, Bloom proves that babies are smarter than previously thought, while simultaneously recognizing the shortcomings of this “elementary” form of morality. Bloom’s finding prove to be revolutionary, in that they allow for the examination of different social structures, their shortcomings, and what

In Beyond Good and Evil, Nietzsche discusses how he is not a believer in democracy. The principles of democracy were put together by levelers, or people that believe in democracy. These principles lead to equality that restrains life to one universal truth and Nietzsche did not agree with this idea at all. He believed that these principles caused people to form into one large herd. In this herd, people follow one another with no will to power, which results in the downfall of individual rights and instincts. This makes the herd the definition of morality in society, which Nietzsche disagrees with. But he brings up the idea of neighbor love. Neighbor love is the idea that we are all in one herd so we are all equal which creates us to all

The book To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is often associated with a various number of themes such as racism, social inequality, the importance of family values, and much more. But one of the more hidden messages of the book centers around the idea that there is a coexistence of good and evil. This theme is really brought to life the more the reader is able to understand the book. Through sub themes such as coming of age, perspective, and intense characterization of many important characters the idea of good and evil is really brought to light.

When talking about the main characters let us first take into account Screech, a character they have chosen to make almost depressingly simple minded.

The fact that the teachers are so easily fooled and strung along by this boy
