Good and Evil My report examines the connection of the coexistence of good and evil across texts and how these aspects effect human nature and society. The texts I used were ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee‚ ‘The Help’ by Tate Taylor‚ ‘Noughts & Crosses’ by Malorie Blackman and ‘Harawira drops N-bomb in water hui debate” by Danya Levy. I believe these texts explore the moral nature of society and human beings as essentially being good and evil through social drifts of racial prejudice‚

These evil acts of terrorism

However‚ even though they can distract students from homework or classwork‚ cell phones are necessary for students to communicate with parents
