Explanation:  The authors purpose in this selection is to inform us on how some people rather get a quicker  outcome with a small prize than working hard or being patient and getting a better or bigger  prize or reward. Christie Aschwanden argues that people act against their own better judgement  because they favor immediate rewards rather than long-term benefits. In Greek philosophy  acting against one's better judgement is known as Akasia. Aschwanden explains why despite her persisting knee problems, she refuses to do the short exercises to fix her knee as she procrastinates by favoring present rewards and discounting future advantages. She summarizes the biological reasons that allow Akrasia to occur and mentions solution to help one fight the temptation that results.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
