    I believe O'Conner message was deeper than do not judge a book by its cover. However, I do believe that message was in some way shown; such as when Hulga assumed that she could take advantage of Manley because her level of intellect was far superior than his. If Hulga would've been better off approaching him with the same apprehension she would have approached any other man the results would have not been as heart wreaking as they were. The book, in my opinion, was about the handicaps of the soul and mind. Manley handicap soul allowed him to feel entitled to something that did not belong to him, regardless of who suffers.…

    While Hippocrates and others had long proposed that mental disorders had some physical cause, it was not until the 1800s that a clear link between a physical disease process and mental illness was established. This finding then paved the way for further exploration of how brain malfunctions could result in mental illness. General paresis was an illness that produced paralysis, insanity, and, typically, death within two to five years. This mental illness was recognized as a specific type of mental disorder in 1825. Thus, it was recognized as a unique disorder and attempts could then be made to treat it.…

    Here, we can see that Caden tries to remind himself that no one at school wants to harm him, but he is not able to center on this idea. It directly shows that Caden has the ability to see the problems from himself and know he is overthinking as well as overreacting. However, he can’t pull himself out of the mental illness because he is not powerful enough to control himself. For example, he cannot stop imagining there are people who want to kill him. Accordingly, the quote sends us another important message about Caden; his mental illness becomes less serious because he notices that he has some mental problems about concentration.…
