A Summary Of Lexy's Insanity

Improved Essays
As a result, Lexy truly began to plunge headfirst into complete madness. The frequencies through which the inherents could interact with Mr. Jones on this plane of existence could be heard only by Jones and Lexy, who was the only human who could hear these attempted interactions. However, what Jones knew and understood as communication from home was foreign and unsettling to Lexy.
This misunderstanding drove Lexy into the insanity that gripped every fiber of his being. Even commercials on the radio and supermarket ads were laden with messages that were aimed at contact with Mr. Jones to find out how his permanency in the fourth dimension of Earth could benefit his people by furthering their research of human beings.
While this whirlwind of madness ensued, all of the loving efforts made by Lexy's parents were made in vain through no fault of their own. When Lexy's

Among Lexy's saving graces while incarcerated by the Inquisitors, adorned in their white coats, was his angel in curls, as well as his parents and sisters, who could and frequently did visit him in his captivity. Sadly, the only reason for the Inquisitors allowance of Susie's visits was to use her as a smart tool to help track Lexy and reel him into their grip whenever connection with him was necessary for them. Lexy's soulmate was reduced to a mere tool in the eyes of the Inquisitors.
The Inquisitors were an ancient assembly of people, who had been researching demonology and possession in association with mental illness since the period in history known as the "Spanish Inquisition". Many of those condemned to death for witchcraft during the Spanish Inquisition suffered from these illnesses that imbued them with super-human abillities. Their healing and esoteric knowledge, which included gifts like precognition, psychometry, and clairvoyance among them, were coveted by the Inquisitors

    Evicted, a New York Times Bestseller book written by Matthew Desmond, captured many faces of a culturally diverse population. Many parallel stories were narrated, yet each was unique and contained tremendous consequences as well as the depth of its kind. The beauty in Desmond’s writing was signified by his audacious remark, with words and sentences that provoked one’s deepest feelings. These allowed the author to develop a stronger connection with the readers as they progressed and psychologically experienced the multistage of sensations: from being awfully rejected to being openly loved, or from being wrongfully evicted to being warmly welcomed into a house. Multiple characters with distinct and rich background stories created a colorful book…

    The Salem Witch Trials, had its dealings with the supernatural world, people afflicted (or bewitched) seeing “witches’ in their visions, a “mysterious” man taunting people to sign his book, or even unexplained deaths of livestock or even an infant.

    Thoughts of the Collective Psychology presents several explanations for instances of indecision and the iconic angelic and fiendish voices inside the mind. The concept of dualism and fragmentation of the mind has existed since Aristotle and Plato, but Robert Louis Stevenson captured the quintessential belief behind dualism in his novella The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Mr. Jekyll explores the duality of a human mind through theoretical experiments which eventually produce two antagonistic personalities, yet he guesses “that man will be ultimately known for a mere policy of multifarious, incongruous and independent denizens” (Stevenson 43). However, Jekyll’s experiments only provided two aspects of humanity, the kind, earnest appearance…

    Prior to the age of religious reformation and the Late Middle Ages, witchcraft did not hold such a negative connotation. In fact, it was divided into two – white magic and black magic. White magic was used by healers, wise men and women, as well as others who fit this category. Black magic, on the other hand, were practiced by those who sought to harm others, thus used their abilities for evil. It was this kind of magic that got a person labelled as a witch rather than the titles used for the practitioners of white magic.…

    The idea that a group of people possessing supernatural powers exist among us has proved to have been an alarming concept throughout history from the Classical Era to some cultures in the modern society. The depiction of witchcraft in the 21st century is usually complete with protagonist witches fighting malicious villains, however, witchcraft and the hunt of witches that has left an execution of 40,000 to 50,000 “witches” in Europe has been a predominant practise in Early Modern Europe (c1560-1660). Witch hunting was profoundly centred in England, Germany, and Scotland, and occurred during 1560 to 1660, accusing innocent scapegoats of practising witchcraft which conflicted with Christian beliefs. “Witches” were blamed for natural occurrences…
