worked on humans without side affects. He tested it on himself and became The Green Goblin. He killed his fellow scientist and the government people who would accept his ideas. The police couldn’t figure out who it was too put a stop too it. Spider Man had stopped him from killing even more people, and this is why The Green Goblin wanted Spider Man dead. Spider Man can’t even seem to figure out who The Green Goblin was. If they would just put the pieces together they would have at least a…

Perspective in storytelling is essential to understanding how an author views and interprets a story. In J.D Salinger’s “The Laughing Man”, the narrator is a man looking back on his youth, in the summer of 1928, when he used to participate in an afternoon sports camp/club called the “Comanches Club.”What the narrator most vividly remembers, however, are not the games and the outings, but the stories the Chief tells the kids after the sun goes down, before driving them home. What one may not know…

The Natural Man (A Discussion of Colin Wilson’s Quote) Colin Wilson once said, "The average man is a conformist, accepting miseries and disasters with the stoicism of a cow standing in the rain."

The state of nature is the alternative to the state since it lacks a system of authority. Specifically, the Hobbesian state of nature will be used for this argument since Hobbes’ state of nature depicts man living…

December of 2010, Conrad Zdzierk, a white polish man, used “hyper realistic” mask to disguise himself as a black man as he robbed several banks in Ohio. While the mask is realistic looking, the fact that he used this mask as a way to evade the police and cause another man to be arrested in his place is a horrible reality. I was unable to find a picture of the wrongly accused man to compare to the mask, but the fact that a mask caused an innocent man to be arrested is baffling. Regardless of how…

The sanctity of life begins when a person is in the womb because God created people in His own image and he created life. Jeremiah 1:5 states, “Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee, And before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations.” People abuse the sanctity of life in mass shootings because they are murdering innocent people that God created. Murder is wrong because we should not kill according to the 10 Commandments. In…

Religion offers people a feeling of purpose for why they are on the earth. It has people do extraordinary things with their time and resources through actions that are selfless and giving.
