When I was in the fourth grade, a friend of mine was cheating on a test and he got caught. When he got caught he ratted me out when I did nothing wrong. He abused his power and lost a friend that day. Furthermore, when people have power and they say they will do good with it, they are wrong. People will do anything in the world if they have power, and maybe some evil.

Thomas Fuller once said, “The mob has many heads, but no brains.” In this day in age, mob mentality is seen as having a negative influence on society. Specific behaviors can be triggered by the influence of our peers around us, some of which can cause people to take perilous actions that can have a significant impact on humanity. Getting caught up in mobs can make people lose their individuality, causing them to do things they would not normally do themselves. An example of this is seen in To Kill

What is good? Why is a good man hard to find? What does it mean to be good? How can one possibly determine its definition?

Again, not saying that being born evil is not correct, in fact, William Golding believed that every human is

Power can be obtained in many ways, however, there are three main ways to gain power. One could gain power through their social class, race or gender. Many people throughout history have gained power in one of these three ways. In Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird, power is a common theme. In this book, Mayella Ewell, a poor, 19 year old white girl, accuses a black man named Tom Robinson of raping her. Mayella Ewell may not have power in regards to her social class or gender, she does have

Everything is bigger in Texas, or more like everything is bigger in America. In the very popular documentary “Supersize Me” directed by Morgan Spurlock, there were many examples of pathos used to draw in the audience. Spurlock uses pathos most effectively by incorporating his use of irony, references to imprinting, and appeal to the senses, to engage his audience. One of Spurlock’s main points was his use of irony. A scene in the documentary shows McDonald’s being almost everywhere, and a hospital

You’re bullied, hurt, and abused by fellow peers because you don’t meet societal measures, you keep to yourself and solely because you’ve been stereotyped into the category of a weak, helpless nerd.
