Psychopath’s are not freaks of nature; they usually experience a tragic incident or face a hardship over a long period of time.

Interviews with children who have witnessed traumatic incidences can be very difficult to conduct because the objectives of identifying an accurate incidence without false accusation are hard to control. Upon looking at the interview conducted by Kathleen MacFarlane, a few issues stand out. One issue in this interview is that Macfarlane, begins the interview with the following statement, “Mr. Monkey is a little bit chicken, and he can't remember any of the naked games, but we think that you can…

Right now, I want you to take a look at your phone. When you do this you will find many different components that make your phone, well, your phone. The screen is lit up. Voice transmitting, really making it a phone. There is a camera, which is along the lines of motion photography. Music recorded on your phone, dating back to the first phonograph. And last but not least, a nickel alkaline battery, powering the whole phone. What does this have to do with what I am researching, you may ask? All…

Have you ever been pointed at with a flashlight in your eyes, and are immediately irritated and hope it would end. Well that’s how Albert Camus's main character Meursault feels in his novel the Stranger. Meursault, a detached and emotionless man living in french occupied Algeria, shows no care towards his mother's death, his “girlfriend”, and an Arab that he murders. While performing his careless everyday routines, the only emotion he shows is his feelings towards the sun. Even though he shows…

As a new life begins it also gradually starts to follow death. As distinguished in the novel, East of Eden, death is perceived in many ways, which often dictates one's approach to life because some individuals approach death with a practical view while others have an idealistic view on death. Death is a reality that occurs in every individual life and the perspective of that individual towards death determines how they decide to live life. In East of Eden Steinbeck often compared Liza and…

topic of themes, I found a pretty unique one in Flirting, it’s the theme of Absurdism, which is basically when people seem to act bizarrely because they accept and believe that humans are unable to find meaning in life.

Will: Yeah, they seem to go against what everyone else does and thinks, on purpose. Hayden:…

When writing The Stranger, Albert Camus had other intentions than just giving his audience some story about the life of an indifferent man. The novel itself gives the main character, Meursault, a way of thinking that some would find unimaginable and incomparable to any character that might be seen in another piece of literature. While the book makes an attempt at making sure the reader understands the philosophy of Meursault while progressing through his timeline, the philosophy Meursault…

Every time I begin to write an essay for Intro to Visual Arts I always go back to “Starry Night, Vincent Van Gogh’s most famous piece of art.” Even though there are many works of art that I could write this essay about I chose to write this essay over “Starry Night” because I have a great understanding of this piece of art. In many of the “Starry Night” viewer’s eyes it is a beautiful piece of work, but in Vincent van Gogh’s eyes it is his worst piece of art. Van Gogh says the painting is not…
