Miss Maudie Atkinson Maudie Atkinson is an often overlooked character in the classic novel To Kill a Mockingbird. She is often described as open minded, and outspoken.

In Ken Kesey’s novel “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest”, the nurse Miss Ratched is a fine example of a realistic fictional villain. Possession of three key components is essential in identifying what makes Miss Ratched a villian. Motive is what drives the villain to commit the very acts that allow them to be considered evil in the first place, and often drive their entire being as a character. While they must possess motive, they must also have a sense of morals that coincides with their motives (typically evil, or distorted) and follow their moral compass in a way that often causes trouble for those around them. Additionally, a villain is frequently associated with their opposite; the hero who combats them. Kesey’s character perfectly aligns with these three categories of what makes a villain, and it is unquestionable that she is the villain of the novel.

One person I would choose to be if I had to pick fictional or nonfictional, is Jessica Day, or Jess, from the T.V. show, New Girl.

She’s simple in the way her life is structured and how she decides to decipher her decisions. Jess’s personality--to me, I consider her bubbly, outgoing and somewhat blunt, or straight to the point.

However, some may discover a deeper meaning to this question and answer in a less literal way. The stories read in class from Unit One help the public to answer this puzzling question. Their description of American history gives insight about what the land was founded upon. Some impressions of the past are still seen in modern America. The common value of freedom by the Pilgrims, Olaudah Equiano, and fictional Rebecca Nurse in The Crucible and their need to fight for what they believe in, makes them very persistent people. When the Puritan Pilgrims and the slave Equiano came to America,

Perspective of Good and Evil An individual chooses the perspective they take. They perspective they chose can bring out the good and evil within. This is proven in Esther Claes’ “The Star” when the main character chooses to see the world from a different perspective, a selfish perspective. This is also once again proven in Lord of the Flies when Ralph refuses to see the islands survival through Jack’s perspective which brings out the evil and savagely within him.
