As a society, we are routinely told ‘seeing is believing ' in the wake of any paranormal or supernatural phenomena, placing weight on the tangible. However, as science and technology have progressed the faithfulness of visual representation is increasingly throw into question, which in turn has led to societal anxiety.

People always have a story to tell. No matter what the story is, they always want to make it ask convincing as they can for the person who is reading or listening. However, the memorability and true impact the story has on the reader doesn't always depend on the content, but many times they also depend on what way the story is being told. Often times, many may feel that when a story is told from an omniscient point of view, it may hold less bias and will relay all of the facts in an accurate manner; however, some may feel that relaying a story in a first person point of view would give the story more character and may make the story mor vivid for the reader. In both Defending Jacob and Talented Mr. Ripley, it becomes evident that the reader

What is a Voyeur? It’s a person who gets pleasure from secretly watching others in private moments. In The Living Room, the narrator’s voyeurism of her neighbors is wrong and she continually dismisses her intrusive violations of privacy of the couple. She expresses guilt that is due to her lack of non-consent from the couple and clearly violates their privacy. The person/s being viewed are intruded upon and are most often damaged by being watched. Throughout mankind we have been curious of the unknown and get pleasure from watching others and we have acknowledged this behavior and the acceptance of it as normal. The heavy appeal of social media and reality shows are now providing us with the ability to compare ourselves with other people in private or intimate situations that either we wish we could be in or happy we are not.
