Andrew Jackson: Tyrant “When the 1828 election rolled around‚ a lot of people were terrified when they heard Andrew "Old Hickory" Jackson was running. If you’re wondering how a guy we’re calling a bad ass got such a lame nickname‚ it’s because he used to carry a hickory cane around and beat people senseless with it‚ and if you’re wondering why he did that‚ it’s because he was a f#$%*in g lunatic.” (Daniel O’Brien February 15‚ 2008) This quote from cracked.com illustrates the depth of the ruthlessness

Short Story Response- The Possibility of Evil For the mystery story “The Possibility of Evil” by Shirley Jackson‚ I will be responding to the validity and development of the theme‚ and the symbolism used.
