A New Mayor for Brookside

Citizens of Brookside have many choices to make in the upcoming election. However, no ballot measure is more important than whom we select as our next mayor.

Although we have two qualified candidates to vote for, we believe that Rochelle Jackson has proven herself to be a stronger candidate than Suzette Muñez. During her eight years as a city council member, Ms. Jackson fought for tax cuts that resulted in an 18% growth in local business. She also managed the development of our new regional airport and sponsored three new after school programs for Brookside’s youth. The new laws proposed by Ms. Jackson have brought about a 31% drop in crime over the last five years.

While Ms. Muñez has an impressive track record as a large business owner, we feel that she lacks the public service experience needed to serve as mayor of Brookside. We fear her decisions would better serve big business and not the needs of our citizens and local businesses.

We at the Brookside Gazette strongly urge you to elect Rochelle Jackson as the next mayor of Brookside.

the first, third, and last sentences are correct for plato.

"character is what you are in the dark." dwight lyman moody, in this very witty quotation of his, states we act and think differently when we are "in the dark", that is, when the spotlight is not on us and everyone can see us and consequently judge us. when reading, we tend to be sympathetic to some characters and their dilemmas. by being so, we are saying to ourselves that we agree with those characters' acts and choices, even if they are morally questionable if we have common sense in mind. dwight lyman moody's quotation applies very well to "crime and punishment", by   19th century russian writer fiodor dostoyevsky. raskolnikov, the main character, a former law student who spends his days reflecting upon life and its misery, draws a fatal conclusion: mankind is divided in two main categories: ordinary and extraordinary people. the first are the ones who lead a run-of-the-mill existence and are full of imperfections; the latter are the ones who are spiritually superior, the ones who always know better, and have the right to judge the ordinary ones, as well as eliminate them if for common good. raskolnikov considers himself as belonging to the extraordinary category and decides to kill an old lady who is a money lender and in whose house he rents a small room. raskolnikov compares himself to napoleon, who had the undeniable right to execute tons of people during the war in order to save his nation. of course what the main character decides to do is a horrendous crime, but as readers we feel it is the right thing for him to do, since the victim is a mean old woman who only thinks about money and keeps humiliating her younger sister. what one experiences is a mixture of sympathy and empathy for the character, even though he decides to commit homicide, which is not at all accepted or tolerated by civilized citizens. however, since readers are "in the dark", they allow themselves to feel in ways they would probably never dare to confess to anyone, no matter how nasty or vicious a character can be. after all, they are just reading and doing no harm. in other words, readers are in the dark and can be who they are without being judged.

karen blumenthal is the author of steve jobs: the man who thought different, and because of her work, she was a finalist in the 2013 yalsa award for excellence in nonfiction award.

it is significant that blumenthal interviewed several people who knew steve jobs personally because this allowed her to gain access to the industry. she has also stated that due to her work in the 1980s, she was able to get acquainted with the process of making computers and other technology, and was able to witness the progress different companies made and to appreciate apple's contribution to it. finally, this close connection with the industry means that her information is more credible than that of a complete outsider.
