James Willer points out to the meaning of “evil” as “bad” and confirming my notion of the definition of this word.

In class, we had discussed the “Why Kids believe in Santa?” I was definitely interested in this topic, because I have a little brother and he is six years old. When he was younger it was easier to convince that santa was real. Now that he is six, he would ask more questions, and my mom and I had to keep this lie going. I ended up having to wrap presents at home, while my mom and little brother were not at home. I was in charge of keeping the presents in my closet till it was time to open…

Together these comparisons broaden and shape the story allowing for a more coherent understanding of the author’s true thoughts and feelings.…
