What do you think of when you hear the phrase good country people? A barn, friendly do-good farm people, smiles for miles and of course lots of well taken care of animals. Flannery O'Connor's “Good Country People” however, sheds a different light on a premeditated assumption. The distortion found in O'Connor's short story allows a different perception to readers, creating a new reality. Its ironic style and eccentric characters prove that people themselves can even be distorted. Different styles

I knew this empirically, but I never saw the math of why till I got this founder's email. In it he said he worried that he was fundamentally soft-hearted and tended to give away too much for free. He thought perhaps he needed "a little dose of sociopath-ness." I told him not to worry about it, because so long as he built something good enough to spread by word of mouth, he'd have a hyperlinear growth curve.

According to Scott (n.d.) a serial killer is a person

When I read this piece about the plight of a family whose child is exhibiting all the signs of a sociopath at the tender age of 9, all sorts of questions ran through my mind. Science often just uncovers the tip of the iceberg when it comes to mental illness/conditions we don’t understand very well, and it’s true in this case. Calling a nine year old a “psychopath” in my view is irrational and segregating. Using that term for a child that has not done anything along the lines of the definition is

The Tell Tale Heart, a literary masterpiece by Edgar Allan Poe. Esteemed by many, but narrated by a potential madman. The narrator attempts to make a case throughout the story of how his acts are deliberate and thoughtful. Although, throughout the story as the narrator insists he is mentally stable, the tone and phrasing of his words does nothing, but emphasize his ravings as those of a madman. The narrator’s arguments are based on nothing more than persistence, narcissism, and a reliance on the
