    The Devil in the White City by Erik Larson is a perfect representation of what occurred at the world fair of 1893. I admired this book due to the amount of detail and creativity that Larson put into his writing. He characterized each person and made you feel as if you were there with them.

Holmes, the first serial killer, which you don’t grasp that he is a killer because he looks extravagant and is a smooth-talker.…

    In the fifth sermon, Joseph Butler looks at how it is that we are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves. He argues that that in order to understand how we are to love our neighbor, we first need to consider the different meanings that “as thy self” could have, such as that we should have a similar affection towards our neighbor as what we have for ourselves. Butler states that our affections toward others should be similar to the affections we have toward ourselves. This means that, just as self-love means that we strive for and have an interest in achieving happiness, we should also strive for the happiness of our neighbors.…

Therefore, this occurs because she wanted to warn the highwayman, so she sacrificed her life for his. Another piece of evidence that backs up the theme love is worth dying for, “ Bowed, with her head over the musket, drenched with her on blood, not till dawn he heard it, his face grew gray to hear how Bess the landlord’s daughter had watched for her love in the moonlight and died in the darkness there.…
