In my opinion‚ Graff makes one very strong statement in his essay‚ and also a lot of personal background to support his point. This main point is on hidden intellectualism itself‚ and what exactly it means to be intellectual. He argues that intellectualism can be found almost anywhere‚ and I strongly support his argument.

Percy. In my opinion‚ this quote means that no matter what‚ goodness will be overshadowed and/or destroyed by a greater evil‚ for a lack of better words. I agree with this quote‚ because there are many real life situations that can prove it‚ along with the situations portrayed in most literary works.
