Holden Caulfield is an insane person in a sane world. What is insanity? Insanity is when you’re in a state of mind that prevents normal perception, behavior or social interaction.

Insanity could come about when you’re depressed, or after a traumatic event, and sometimes even by keeping all your feelings bottled up inside of yourself. Sane people are sensible, reliable, well-adjusted and practice sound judgment. It’s behavior that is expected in a society. By these

When some think of the word “insanity,” they think of crazy people, with impossible ideas and strange thoughts, perhaps people with a different way of thinking than most people do. However, what does one define as morally insane? Does the list just include cannibalism, does it extend to cold-blooded murder? In “The Most Dangerous Game,” also known by “The Hounds of Zaroff,” a short story by Richard Connell, the antagonist, General Zaroff can be perceived as insane. This is because the protagonist, Sanger Rainsford, discovers that Zaroff hunts humans for sport. However, I believe that General Zaroff is not insane, for multiple reasons. Three reasons are: clear thinking, lack of symptoms pointing to insanity, and Zaroff’s reaction at the end of the short story.

Amongst the buzz about Doctor Strange and Captain America 3, Marvel also announced the movie debut of a long-running but recently rebooted character by the name of Carol Danvers. Up until recently, Carol Danvers went by the name of Ms. Marvel and sported a skin-tight black leotard for a costume. However, in 2012 a writer named Kelly Sue DeConnick gave the character an updated look with a full body suit and a new name. Alex Abad-Santos uses Carol Danver’s history and her evolution into Captain Marvel in his essay “The Insane, Sexist History and Feminist Triumphs of Captain Marvel” to discuss the way women are portrayed in comics and how comic books reflect American society. Santos uses quotes from authors, provides panels from issues of Captain/Ms.

Frankenstein or The Modern Prometheus is chiefly considered to be a horror novel. The books author, Mary Shelley, masterfully weaves a story that has petrified audiences for centuries with its grotesque nature and disturbing events.

Fear has affected everyone at some point in their life. Usually, it’s just a temporary feeling of extreme panic, a racing heart, and cloudy thoughts. However, what happens when this feeling is constant over a long period of time? That’s the case in William Golding’s novel, Lord of the Flies, where a group of boys are stuck on an island after their plane gets shot down. Once they establish a rudimentary government with a boy named Ralph as the elected chief, everything seems to go fine for the boys until fear begins to encompass them. Whether it’s fear of a beast, the unknown, or even each other, this fear begins to tear away at the sanity of the boys until nearly all the boys become bloodthirsty, disorganized savages and join the tribe of a once reasonable boy named Jack. Overall, this novel shows how fear’s effect on perception and behavior causes people to stop being logical and reasonable, leading to the deterioration of a group’s order and people forgetting their priorities.

Society hinders of humans coexisting. If people did not live in a structured society than humanity as we know it could spiral into chaos and then extinction. This is because there would no longer be anyone reproducing, causing society to stop growing, as well there being no structure. Without structure life is chaos because no one has power and therefore no one can enforce rules or regulate jobs that need to be completed. Overall Aristotle is correcting in suggesting that people who live outside of society are bad people and do not contribute to the well being of society.
