An Eye of Evil - Original Writing I sat there engrossed in a novel, floating around in another world. I could read all day pretending I was a self-created character in the story. My imagination ran and ran, with pictures spinning round my head. I could turn words into scenes I wish I was that person in the book, imaginary. Suddenly the phone rang. I could feel all the emotions out of the silence. I jerked forwards with shock and stopped breathing for a moment. My eyes came off the book and travelled across to the phone, which I grabbed. Who will it be this time? "Hello", I whimpered in a nervous voice. No reply. I raised my voice, which did not seem like me at all. "Who is speaking? What do you want?" Still there was an endless silence, enough to hear deep heavy breathing down the other end of the line. I began to hesitate and became worried, "Leave me alone", I shouted. I slammed the phone down although I have no idea why. Slouching down on the sofa, I reflected on what had just happened. Over the last month, I had been getting endless amounts of phone-calls of these kind. At first, I thought they were hoax calls, the silly pranks kids play on you; it is their idea of fun, nevertheless it began to get worse. I would be phoned day after day, and the caller would listen to me on the other end, until I was screaming and shouting. It was rather creepy and terrifying and the silence made my heart pound. It was as if someone was stalking me. They knew what I was doing, all my moves, and every second of my life, even a blink, or a breath! They would ring at a time when I was busy doing something. This always made me scared as I became shocked and shook from terror. I would also get letters, full of bitter horrible messages, such as, 'I know your dark secret' and 'I'm going to make you pay for this'.

These two writings are different, but can be contrasted to see great truths. . The concept of anger and consequence are themes that play themselves out in both Genesis and the Iliad.

The Christian Aesthetic Essay: BSed A Christian, when faced with the challenge of writing, finds himself in a dilemma: how is he to complete the task? Should he create an allegory? Should he try to teach a lesson reflecting God’s glory? Or should he follow secular trends and current desires in literature? To this, many Christians would say, “Certainly not!” Dorothy L. Sayers and Flannery O’Connor both aim to answer the first question of any Christian writer: How do I write a story with my beliefs
The article “Ego-Evil and The Tale- Tell Heart” by Magdalen Wing-chi Ki; argues the symbolism of the eye to represent selfishness and greed in “The Tale-Tell Heart.” Wing- chi Ki discusses that Ego- Evil is different from Superego-Evil. The Ego-Evil focuses more on oneself. Therefore, the Ego-Evil is more focused on self-love; while the Super-Ego “welcomes evil due to some "fanatical devotion" or an "ideological ideal" (Wing-chi Ki, Magdalen). The “fanatical devotion” shows the way that the narrator
constant temptation to perpetrate evil. Ideas of good and evil, however, stand highly subjective; in other words, what may not offend one person may seriously affect another. The contrast between good and evil is prevalent in the values of a multitude of cultures and societies, yet each culture and religion depicts good and evil differently.

example, the authors wanted to show readers that Jesus was more holy than the original author set him out to be.

The tragedy Macbeth by William Shakespeare is a tale of an honorable man that fell from grace. This play has some original aspects, but not all is original. For example, there is a scene with a dark spirit named Hecate. The scene does not allow the play to flow as it should; it is believed to have been added on to the original. Also, Hecate is a flat character and Shakespeare is known for his dynamic characters. The songs and scenes, however, can be legally and ethically performed. In that time there
But it is the corruption . . . offspring of Adam, whereby man is . . . original righteousness, and of his own nature inclined to evil, and that continually.” The Bible informs us that we are servants or slaves to whom we obey. “Do you not know that if you present yourselves to anyone as obedient slaves, you are slaves of the one whom you obey, either

The original is found in the Book of Jeremiah: “Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? Then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil” (13:23, KJV).
