Wrong With Everyone

Have you ever heard of someone with 5 identities and a networth of 200 million dollars? Barney Northrup is one of the most important characters and very foundational to the story in The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin. First of all he sold all the apartments in sunset towers, he is Sam Westing, Windy Windkloppel, Sandy Mcsouthers, and Julian R. Eastman, and he founded the Westing game. This mystery novel would not come together without the mysterious Barney Northrup.

The Westing Game starts out with the delivery of six letters signed by Barney Northrup, to six different households on the Fourth of July. The letters offer a once in a lifetime chance to rent an apartment at the new and luxurious Sunset Towers, located on the shores of Lake Michigan. However, in the movie, Sunset Towers was located in the city. In the book, Sunset Towers was built mostly of glass and stood five stories high. Noticed in both the book and movie, Sunset Towers oddly faces east instead of west where the sun actually sets. In both the movie and the book, Barney Northrup manages to rent all the apartments out to the six hand selected households, which includes the Wexler family, the Theodorakis family, the Hoo family,

Many individuals were killed throughout the Salem Witch Trials, but the first case involved Abigail Williams, Sarah Goode, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba. According to the University of Virginia, “Abigail Williams testified and said that several times last February she had been much afflicted with pains and often pinched by the apparition of Sarah Good, Sarah Osborne, and Tituba.” Due to their inability to explain things at the time, Salem blamed Abigail Williams’ pains, pinches, and fits on witchcraft. As a result, Sarah Osborne was one of the individuals accused of witchcraft.

In the town of Salem during the year 1692 the town’s Minister Reverend Parris, discovers his daughter Betty and the rest of the girls having signs of witchcraft. The characters are Francis Nurse, Reverend Parris, Reverend Hale, Susanna Walcott, Elizabeth Proctor, Abigail Williams, Betty Parris, Rebecca Nurse and Mercy Lewis. Abigail is responsible because she carries more of the responsibility for the girls meeting in the woods with Tituba. Abigail also

The Westing Game movie had many differences from the book. The first detail the viewer of the movie notices is the change in the Sunset Towers setting. The book had it as a brand new building with one-way glass on the shores of Lake Michigan. This setting was designed to show the rise is social stature for the new tenants, especially the Wexlers. Grace, in the book, was always concerned with upward social mobility. On the other hand, the movie portrayed the building as being rundown and in the heart of a bustling town. The Sunset Towers was also home to a coffee shop and doctor’s office in the lobby and Chinese restaurant on the 5th floor in the book. Because of changes or removal of characters, the movie had no doctor’s office or coffee shop and the Chinese restaurant was on the first floor. Many of these changes were a result of characters being left out of the movie that served a prominent role in the book. The Westing Game novel used eight pairs of heirs to work on solving the murder of Sam Westing, but the movie only used five. The paired heirs were put together in the book to help each other grow as people. For example, Denton Deere was a self absorbed intern who only was concerned with himself. His partnership with the crippled Chris Theodorakis allowed him to grow and change into a caring human being, while Chris was presented opportunities for new medications to control his disability. One of the biggest changes from the book to the movie was the normalization of the Grace Wexler character. The book portrayed Grace as a social climbing snob only concerned with the marriage of her oldest daughter, Angela. Her second child, Turtle, was ignored and the result was Turtle kicking the shins of many people. With the elimination of the relational element in the movie, Flora Baumbach, a new mother figure in the book, was not needed so Turtle was

Watching Kathryn Schulz’s Ted Talk “On being wrong” is an outlook on reality that people these days don’t look at or even have considered. What Schulz does is explain why overachievers or people who want to be perfect are stuck in this little box of perfection and that we need to get out. Being Wrong is one of the most natural things us as humans can do. It is something that everyone of us has done at one time or another, no one is ever perfect. And if so why don’t we accept our wrongness, ignore or even get embarrassed by it.

Each one of us has been accused of something in our lives that we didn’t do. And to be sent to prison for that crime would be very hard to except. If you were sent to jail for something you felt was right, and just, and had the chance to escape and not be caught again, would you? That is that is the dilemma Socrates had to face. He had the chance and the means yet he chose not to escape. Did he do the right thing by not escaping from jail?

In the Westing game a certain man (Sam Westing) is looking for an heir. Not just any old heir someone can solve the riddle “the Westing game riddle”. That certain heir is a 13 year old girl Turtle Wexler of all people solves the riddle. And she is the one who inherits the a big amount of money.

Anyone reading The Westing Game will realize by the end of the book that each pair of heirs is perfect for each other in one way or another. But because of the way they support each other from Denton helping Chris get an operation from Chris helping Denton by inspiring a change in his life it is obvious that Chris and Denton are the most perfect pairs of heirs in the Westing Game. They might not win but they build a friendship that will last a lifetime. And that’s a win win.

There are 6 women involved in the Westing game. Crow, Grace, Turtle, Angela, Sydell, and Mrs. Hoo. It couldn't be Turtle or Angela because they are too young. It cannot be Sydell because she

The group of telepaths is discovered and two have been captured; Sally and Katherine. The community of Waknuk apprehends that they, not knowingly, have lived with these Deviations all their lives, and are further frightened since they do not know how to control or dominate over these people. David, Rosalind, Petra, and the others must fight and rebel against these faulty acts; hoping to end the carnage once and for all. While some of them flee and run-off to another locality, some of them keep quiet and live a fictitious reality; later purporting to be someone they are not.

Almost everyone has been stuck in a situation where they were having trouble determining what they should do. In those situations, the actions that are available to them to choose from are either classified by our society as right or wrong. It is obvious to most people what the right option in a situation is as well as why they should choose it, but why do part of those people still choose the wrong option if they are fully aware what they chose is awry.
