    “Where is Waldo” is a children's puzzle book where the reader tries to find a specific guy in the pictures. This may just seem like a plain, fun book with no other purpose than to entertain kids.

    What I found surprising and disturbing at the same time was a quote from Lieutenant Nun on chapter four, “I ran my sword point through Reyes’ friend-where, I cannot say-and down he went. And so with blood drawn on both side...” (14). I chose this quote because I would never have imagined she could kill someone in action and this is also where she starts to run away from her troubles from the law. Which she got charged with murder. But for Catalina, she has to set aside her feminism and be more masculine and to prove that she can do anything since she does not want to show any doubts about her real identity.…

    As William Shakespeare says, “We know what we are, but not what we may be” (BrainyQuote). Often times in society, people allow material possessions inhibit their ability to become what they are capable of being; accepting who they are currently. Illegal and legal substances such as drugs cause people to lack free thinking and cause addictive behaviors that can lead people to not seek opportunities to succeed. The influence of others pushes people to take part in the use of things like drugs in order to appear normal in society.

    Human beings, as individuals, place a substantial amount of importance on and extensively value the consideration that we are unique. This is foundational aspect of human nature, interaction, and being. But what does this uniqueness mean, and what does it mean to us? The concept of the self or having a personal identity leads to questions of what one is really addressing when making statements about the self; such as, how is the concept of the self created or formed? Does the self persist through time, and how can we know that this identity is the same as we flow through time?…

    Identity influences perception of how we identify ourselves and how others perceive us. Inspired to inquire about true self, our identity is shaped around the ideas of personality psychology, temperaments, self-expression, masks worn, attitudes, behaviors, and the influences of how we are seen by family, friends, and outsiders alike. This influence impacts one to become self-aware of the reality from the point of view from someone else and to see ones true self objectively. Change occurs when Christians begin to understand their true identity is rooted in Jesus Christ and not in the opinions of others and self. Emotions specific to identity are strong and extreme; confusion or confidence and disgust or delight to name a few.…

    People have always been interested in the idea of finding out about personal identity, what makes you the same person as you were when you were five and what will make you the same person when you are eighty.

Any future experience will either be my experience, or it will not.” (Parfit- 186), which is what personal identity looks into. This essay will discuss whether personal identity is a matter of physical or psychological continuity, taking into account the famous ideas of philosophers such as John Locke, Derek Parfit and Bernard Williams.…
