At the girls room Anastasia was telling the girls that witches were abroad for it was night of divination, night of lovers, and those who cared might peer in the mirror and would there behold Anastasia to stop and get out of the room and told her she is witch, but another girl said that Anastasia is a maga and was born on Christmas Eve.

Then she told her child that yes she saw the devil, it was smiling at her.

Agueda told her habit of always looking at the mirror.

    I believe Margaret Drabble’s statement, “Our desire to conform is greater than our respect for objective facts,” to be quite true. Throughout history, people of all ages have wanted to be accepted and belong to a group rather than look at the facts and measure what is true and false. It is very evident in our society today that not only do we want to be accepted and belong, but we also are willing to do whatever it takes, no matter what the consequences turn out to be. I agree with Drabble’s statement and believe that it is true all around the world. If you were to step outside our society and look back at it objectively, I can assure you that you would see evidence of this.…

    It all started when my mother decided to marry that man. As always we had no say in the matter and I didn't want to admit to my sister Drizella or my mother that I wasn't interested in going. "Come along now Drizella and Anastasia. We have no time to lose. I have found a man who will be able to take care of us until you too can secure proper lords," their mother said stepping into the carriage that would lead them to their new home. Anastasia let out a sigh and hopped into the carriage with her mother and sister. As we rode, Drizella bounced happily in her seat until mother gave her a stern look. Then Drizella whispered in my ear "I heard that mommy has married a man with lots of money and that he will buy us lots of beautiful gowns." I smiled and couldn't help but feed off her excitement as we both began to daydream about all the beautiful outfits we would get to wear. But that dream was short lived.…

    Every morning before school the boy lies on the floor in the front parlor peeking out through a crack in the blind of the door, watching and waiting for the girl next door to emerge from her house and walk to school. He is shy and still boyish. He follows her, walks silently past, not daring to speak. As soon as the boy notices the girl; he says his “heart leaped”.

    Good and evil exists in the story in many ways through the use of symbolic inferences touching on patience, care, and love to bring out the good in society, but also touches on cruelty, brutality, and greed to show the evil in society. From the start of the story, it is evident to see the evil in thinking when the couple’s neighbor assumes the old man has arrived to hurt their son and suggests the couple should kill him (Marquez, 1968). Even though the neighbor had familiarity with angels, she exhibits indifference and lack of compassion due to his appearance. Another instance is when the priest claims the old man is a fraud, simply because he could not speak Latin (Marquez, 1968). This shows how humans can be judgmental and how evil is housed in their hearts.…
