For example, when I first started having signs of a demonic possession, I was afraid to speak up because I did not want to be judged as mentally ill. Therefore, I turned to drugs to numb the emotional suffering and fear I was feeling. I eventualy got tired of dealing with the demon possession on my own, so I began my search for spiritual help. I visited my local church in hopes that a pastor could expel the demon from me, so that I could again regain peace. The prayer warriors said they could sense satan surrounding me. Unfortunately, even after several sessions of intense prayer the demon kept harassing me. Later I contacted an old coworker who was an expert on Wicca and other supernatural investigations. I explained to him my case and I asked for his opinion, he then told me that I was experiencing a second stage demonic possession. He stated that I should go to a healing woman that he knows about, so that I can get started on some type of rituals to defeat the demon. However, I personally think that any type of ritual is useless in combating a powerfull evil entity or any other issue.

Michael MacDonald’s memoir All Souls captures a time and place of unrest with such finesse that in my own memoir piece I can only hope to produce a fraction of the masterpiece that he has created. The reader, as an outsider, receives a deep as well as insightful portrait of 1970’s and 80’s Southie. MacDonald provides a balanced, and therefore seemingly contradictory account of what is was like to grow up in such a violence riddled, drug infested, and all around bleak situation. While MacDonald captures the dispiriting side of Southie, he also illustrates the way in which Southie seemed like a wonderful place to live at the time.

Patrick Macdonald’s book All Souls memoir paints a vivid picture of life in South Boston, known colloquially as Southie, in the 1970’s and 1980’s. The memoir offers a raw and unfiltered window into a neighborhood rampant with crime, violence, drugs, and death. What is shown is not just a narrative of survival but also a deep exploration of the neighborhood's collective denial, a coping mechanism that, while offering temporary comfort, ultimately continues a cycle of harm and prevents meaningful long-term change. We know Southie has a tendency for denial from the very beginning of the novel, “We didn’t want to own the problems that took the lives of my brothers and of so many others like them: poverty, crime, drugs— those were black things that

Men were perceived as the power, status, and worthy in the society, and they dominated women’s behavior and social status. In the 17th century,

Throughout “The Devil in the White City,” author Erik Larson uses contrasting descriptions to portray the sharp differences between the magnificence of the fair and the harsh and cruel reality of Chicago. The awe-ing descriptions of the fair and the dark interpretation of the streets of Chicago comments on the beautiful facade that the Gilded age produced. The temporary and shallow grandeur of the fair masked the poverty stricken city and gave a false sense of elegance to a city deep in despair. Larsons vivid descriptions of the beauty and elegance of the fair serves to reinforce the idea of its temporary masking of the city. He describes the fair as an art piece, a historian calling it, “no more the white city on the lake… it is dreamland.”
