The world can make or break us, but it depends on if they let society change your way of life and being. Innocence is a trait that we are born with they do not have enough knowledge to act in evil.

The Story, The Possibility of Evil is a truly interesting story that demonstrates the evil of a community that seems almost perfect. This story demonstrates how there is probably no place on Earth that evil has not reached. The story bases itself on a small suburban town and the people that live there.

Mandatory, enforced schooling is common all over the world, and is generally seen as a public good, and a privilege of first world countries. However, author and teacher John Gatto argues that mandatory schooling destroys your ability to be free thinkers and therefore should not exist, in his piece “Against School”. Despite his effective use of ethos, Gatto’s argument fails to be convincing due to logical fallacies, and a lack of evidence or first hand experience.

The essay ‘Against the school’ by John Taylor Gatto draws our attention on to all the cons of attending twelve years of high-school. Gatto has experience in teaching profession for twenty-six years in schools of Manhattan, he shares from his experience that he majored in boredom and could see that everywhere around him.

I recommend “Cryer’s Cross” to my best friend because it is an amazing book. When I first read the book I thought I wouldn’t like it. But now I am in love with the book. The characters really engage me in the book and I think my friend would fall in love with the characters like I did. You can feel all the emotion in the book and I think that is what engaged me the most. You can feel how the character feels and it makes you feel connected to the characters. One of the quotes from the book is “When it is over, We breath and ache like old oak, like peeling birch. One of our lost souls set free. We move, a chess piece in the dark room, cast-iron legs a centimeter at a time, crying out in silent carved graffiti. Calling to our next victim, Our

Evil can be categorized into two forms, moral evil and natural evil. Moral evil is brought about by bad choices that stem from our free will. Natural evil is bad things that happen to people, whether they deserve them or not. The problem with evil is,

In the Devil's Arithmetic, book and movie, there are some similarities, but a lot a differences. There are two very important recurring themes, too. 11 million people were killed during the the holocaust and 6 million of those were jewish.

Have you ever read a book that had so many differences compared to the movie? In the Book “Devil’s Arithmetic” by Jane Yolen is completely different to the movie directed By, Donna Deitch. Many Differences were between characters, places, thought, actions and more. Through the use of characters, actions, relationships Jane Yolen and Donna Deitch both use emotion to illustrate the book and movie to show how the Holocaust is important to remember and learn about.

Books are really interesting when you get to the main plot. By how the characters act and how they choose to end their life. But what would happen if someone you really wanted to live, died. In A Separate Peace, World War II had a lot of ups and downs for Devon students. Especially if you're going to be in the war at the end of your school year. Devon has impacted the students a lot because of the war. By the way they cooperate, their mood towards the war and their commitment.

English teachers are tasked with exposing students to some of the world’s greatest literary works, but with this we also expose our students to the pain of some of the world’s greatest atrocities. In our classrooms students will read the fictional narratives of The Diary of a Young Girl (Frank), and A Long Way Gone (Beah), as well as experience injustice in non-fictional works such as The Giver (Lowry) and The Hunger Games (Collins). In Amber Simmons article Class on Fire: Using the Hunger Games Trilogy to Encourage Social Action Simmons details why she believes it is important that, along with exposing students to these events, we help them grasp and cope with events are at times unfathomable. To help students cope with this knowledge without becoming hopeless Simmons uses the Hunger Games Trilogy with students.

with some evil in it. Better? Why would God being so good and concerned about

     This book combines characteristics of a suspense thriller with those of a tragedy and is a very interesting book to read. I liked the detail that the author went into about the psychological aspects of the characters in making the decisions that they made. I thought that the characters were well developed and I liked the detail that the author went into about the settings. A detailed setting can really increase the intensity and realism of a situation in a book. This book contained some difficult words that lower level readers might not understand. I would recommend that anyone looking for a suspense/tragedy oriented book should look to this one. The beginning is a somewhat tedious read, but that is only because the author takes so much time to develop the

The book I chose to do my summer reading assignment on, was Ashfall. Personally, I was very fascinated by this book, it truly was one of those novels that left you questioning, what would I do if I was in that situation?. Mike Mullin kept the storyline going with very imaginative descriptions and detailed scenes, that left me turning the pages, till I realized the book was almost done for. Nevertheless, I thought this book was a riveting tale of survival that demonstrated, how dark times can turn good people into creatures with no emotions. The protagonist, Alex, was extremely strong willed and his character was deeply authentic. Throughout the novel I could connect with Alex, to the point where I felt like I was in the book making the decisions

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
