Paper #3

For Paper #3 I am going to be writing about Serial killers and how they relate to Jekell and Hyde.  I just think it is interesting that this book describes most serial killers perfectly.  One day they will be fine, the next day they could just snap and do something drastic.  I also find it interesting that most serial killers seem to be role model citizens.  The BTK killer, who killed ten people, was a church deacon at a Lutheran church.  If thats not considered a role model citizen I don't know what is.

Different Personalities

After reading the book Dr Jekel and Mr. Hyde, I cant help but wonder if there is a single person out there that does not have multiple personalities.  Its funny how we will act differently around different groups of people.  Around one set of people we may act quiet and polite, while with other groups of people we may act wild and cocky.  Sometimes some people are so good at changing personalities that you cant even tell what is there "true" personality.  Then I come to wonder if we really have a "true" personality.  Are the personalities that we have around some people fake, or are they still genuine?

re-reading or watching something

Its interesting how things seem so much different when you do read or watch it for a second time.  Some TV shows that I watched when I were younger are just completely stupid.  Some of it seems poorly written and too ordinary.  I almost wonder why I even watched the shows in the first place.  On the flip side, sometimes with age things seem to get better.  Some books seem to make sense, and are funny that did not seems so when I read the book at a younger age.  This would probably be because I get the jokes and storyline better with age.

Creative Writing

For my project, I am going to talk about strategies of famous military leaders.  I will analyze how they were successful by seeing how they handled their armies and their people.  I will also analyze their flaws and why some of them may have fallen.  I dont know yet if I am going to write about just one or a few of them.  For my Literary analysis I am writing about Victor.
