The Bogeyman is a horrifying mythical creature well known all over the world in different cultures and having various meanings, stories and nicknames such as “Devil”.

The medical values learned in chapter 11 are, emotional detachment, professional socialization, clinical experience, mastering uncertainty, mechanistic model, intervention, and emphasis on acute and rare illnesses. The three that I mainly care about are, emotional detachment, mastering uncertainty, and clinical experience. Emotional detachment is a very important medical value because this can strongly affect not only the patient but the doctor as well. The doctor is supposed to sustain emotional detachment from patients. (Weitz 276). A doctor should try and keep their distance because their emotion can strongly affect the patient.

In society, there have always been different roles in defining the boundaries between right and wrong; Monsters take a big part of that role. In Jeffrey Cohen’s “Monster Culture,” Cohen explains seven theses which provide a clearer explanation of how monsters take a part in establishing these boundaries. The oldest Anglo-Saxon story written- “Beowulf”- provides three different monsters which all connect to Cohen’s seven theses. In the older version, however, the monsters do not relate to humans in any way, except that they are enemies. The modern version of Beowulf portrays Grendel’s mother to still be evil but also have relations with the humans in the story.

Ged, the main character in The Wizard of Earthsea, by Ursula K. LeGuin, through an act of pride and spite unwittingly unleashes a powerful shadow creature on the world, and the shadow hunts Ged wherever he goes.

An old man is sitting on an leather armchair, dressed in black and very expensive suit, smoking a cigarette and sipping his old whiskey from his goblet glass.He is short, squat, massive-skulled man. He was indeed a man to frighten the devil in hell himself. His presence sent out alarm bells of danger. His face was stamped into a mask of fury, the eyes were brown but with none of the warmth of that color. His mouth was not so much cruel as lifeless; thin and with the color of veal. He did not fear the police, he did not fear society, he did not fear the God or hell, he did not fear or love his fellow man. This old man was sitting all day on his armchair and offering his friendship to everyone who needed it because he is the only one who can help, he is the boss, he is the Godfather.1

Sayrafiezadeh proposes that expectations don’t always equate

Before there were humans and animals, there were giants. They were the sons and daughters of the sky spirits. The giants used to live in the sky with the sky spirits, but the giants dishonored the sky spirits, so the sky spirits punished them to live on the Earth and wonder their whole lives, so most of them were evil out of anger and hated the Earth. But a few were good and wanted the Earth to flourish and grow so life might be better. There was only soil on the Earth, so the good giants dug. They dug with their hands for days and found nothing. The giants cried out of sorrow. From their tears sprouted trees and bushes, when the giants saw this it made them hopeful. They began to dig again. They dug until they found a worm.
