There’s no doubt that the Great Uncle of Mabel and Dipper Pines, Stan Pines, holds a great power locked within a secret a chamber in his mystery shack. Stan Pines acquired a series of books written by an unknown author containing the mysteries of the town in which they live, Gravity Falls. When all the books are opened to a certain page they are put together to activate a portal that opens through an algorithm that takes months to complete, even with a machine. The portal leads to infinite knowledge of the universe. However, this power can be used for either good, or evil. Which means that Stan can use the power he acquired for good or evil, in the series he doesn’t have the portal open yet so there are no answers but only predictions. Based …show more content…
Stan has a twin brother who went missing, and Stan could use the portal to find him because the portal grants him infinite knowledge of the universe. In episode 19 season 1, Bill Cypher addresses two Stan Pines’. Bill Cypher is a floating illuminati symbol and a pure source of evil. Gideon makes a deal with Bill to alter Stan’s memory and Bill ponders about Stan Pines and then thinks a different Stan Pines. “Ah! This is the Stan that Gideon is talking about,” (Alex Hirsch) as Bill is thinking his body changes to match the image of his thoughts. When he pictures the first Stan he talks about, a picture of a man similar to Stan Pines comes up, then he pictures a tattoo located and Stan’s back and exclaims the quote that was given above. Both the Stan’s are brothers, the man that went missing is Stanley Pines, Stanford Pines is the man who acquires the portal. Since Bill still acquires Stanley Pines in his mind Stan’s missing brother is still alive. In episode 16 season 1, the Pines family acquires a secret room located in the Pines’ house. The room is believed to be Stanley’s. Stan takes a pair of glasses off a dresser in the room and puts them in his coat, the glasses look identical to the ones of Stanley. Stan is looking upon the glasses later in the episode with a dismal frown, the glasses are Stanley’s and Stan is saddened by his disappearance, with infinite knowledge, Stan could find his …show more content…
While in episode 17 season 1 you hear Stan singing an interesting song, “stocking meat for the apocalypse… we’re all gonna die,” (Alex Hirsch). Some see the song as just a joke, which it is at the time, Stan brings up this quote later episode 17 season 1, “If it makes you feel any better the apocalypse is coming soon, bury your gold, you’ve been buying gold right?” (Alex Hirsch). We see here that just a joke could escalate very quickly into something possibly apocalyptic. Stan implies that there is an apocalypse coming soon but from where, none other than Bill Cipher. Stan knows of Bill’s plans and will use his power from the portal that he will gain to stop Bill’s plans. On another note, some may think that Stan is an antagonist in the story and that he is trying to cause an apocalypse. On the contrary, Bill also mentions this quote from episode 4 season 2, “This isn’t the last you’ll hear of me! Big things are coming! You can’t stop me!” (Alex Hirsch). Bill states that he is going to come back and seek revenge against everyone, possibly through an apocalypse that Stan mentions. Stan builds the portal to potentially stop bill in his tracks of destroying the world. Which isn’t a bad thing, it’s actually a very good

The Chicago World Fair brought about through the 400th anniversary of Christopher Columbus landing in America has posed significant value and worth to the city of Chicago. Over a six-month period, more than 26 million visitors from all over the world would flock to the fairgrounds to experience the rebuilt and vibrant city of Chicago. The 600-acre fairground would have housed 200 buildings that showcased new food, art, technology, and entertainment. Chicago became known as the White City, a place of freedom, grandeur, and security. But unbeknownst to fairgoers, there was a serial killer among them. While Dr. H.H. Holmes lured his innocent victims to his “Castle”, just blocks away architect Daniel Burnham built up the dream city of Chicago. Both these men operated at the same time in history, simply blocks apart, both creating legacies that carry to this day. Burnham and Holmes are two side of the coin of human nature. In “The Devil in White City” Erik Larson’s juxtaposition of Burnham and Holmes, and the Black City and the White City, contributes to the understanding of human nature, that one cannot be good without having done evil, and that good and evil are viewed as complementary in their mutual dependence.
"God saw that all he had created was very good. You are part of gods creation, and he is pleased with how he made you. If at times you feel worthless or of little value, remember that god made you for a good reason. You are valuable to him." ( Genesis 1:31) I believe that all things created are at first good. The Bible gives pages upon pages of quotes and stories on the battle of good versus evil, but in the story East of Eden we are given what might be the greatest question of it all, and that is if the main character Cathy a.k.a. Kate was born good or evil.
Good vs. Evil in Macbeth The good characters in Macbeth are less interesting than the evil ones. Everybody has an evil seed planted in them. Only the really evil person acts on them and commits something morally wrong. Like a Macbeth. When Macbeth first received the prophecies, he actually considered them.
The most effective villain, in terms of being frightening that we have witnessed in class would definitely have to be Psycho's (Hitchcock 1960) Norman Bates (Anthony Perkins). Norman Bates is a quirky young man. He lives in a stranded part of town with his 'mother'. He owns a stranded motel, the 'Bates Motel', and rarely gets any guests. When he does, strange things seem to happen a lot of the time, due to his mother not being very fond of anyone who goes. Throughout this film Norman's persona develops into something horrifying, making this villain figure the scariest one we have seen in class.

Biography: William Shakespeare's Macbeth tells the story of a man who would be king. And he is the king, because he murders. Him and his wife murder to get their way. This works greatly for them, until they are questioned, and their guilt sets in. The task for this paper was to compare the Macbeth's to two people who did great evil to accomplish good. IE: Adolf Hitler and Osama bin Laden, whom were used in this essay.
Macbeth by William Shakespeare is a recognized classic tragedy portraying the victory of good over evil. This paper will explore the various expressions of evil within the play.

Black and white, dark and light, demon and angel, are things many argue are inseparable. Throughout history this common theme of good and evil has shown in religion, lore, and everyday life. In American history this theme is also expressed. In the gilded age of U. S. history, a fair and an architect are the angels and a city and a murderer are the demons. The fair being the Chicago World fair, the architect being Daniel Burnham, the city being Chicago and the murderer being H. H. Holmes. In The Devil In The White City, Erik Larson uses juxtaposition, imagery-inducing diction, and light and dark metaphors of the Chicago World Fair and Chicago and of H. H. Holmes and Daniel Burnham to argue that good cannot

Raphael Holinshed’s Chronicles of England, Scotland, and Ireland inspires the well-known playwright of the 16th and 17th centuries, William Shakespeare to construct the masterpiece, The Tragedy of Macbeth. He presents ideas and subjects pleasing to King James I of England at Hampton Court. Shakespeare uses blank verse in this play to tell the story of a tragic hero who suffers a great downfall after the three witches prophesy him to become king. The witch’s deception with their lines “fair is foul and foul is fair” introduces confusion to play goers from the beginning (I.1.12). Throughout the acts the distinction between façade and truth becomes less clear. Shakespeare uses symbols in The Tragedy of Macbeth to portray the relationship between
In Shakespeare's Macbeth, Macbeth is guilty of committing treason against his king and country. He is purely and deliberately driven by dark desire, ambition, and murderous thoughts. As the play continues, it gets easier and easier for Macbeth to commit his heinous crimes. He not only kills the king, but continues to kill various people in order to secure his wrongfully obtained position. Macbeth also has many interactions with witches, who at the time are the definition of evil. One could say that Macbeth and depravity are two sides of the same coin. Macbeth is far more evil than any other character in the play, including Lady Macbeth.
