Well‚ it was about a month ago so I’m over what I was initially asking‚ but I was wondering if you’ve read _American Tricksters: Thoughts on the Shadow Side of a Culture’s Psyche_.

When you look into the mirror‚ you see yourself through your own eyes. What we perceive in that reflection can either

According to the critic and what he/she believes to be true about “Charles‚” by Shirley Jackson‚ is "even the most careless reader is sure to see through Laurie’s lies before his parents do."This would most likely to be true because in the story he comes into his home after the first day of school crudely asking if anyone was home‚ he spoke rudely to his father‚ and he was acting at the start almost exactly as would Charles. To begin with‚ he came home after school crudely asking if anyone was home
