Alter Ego

The novel, “The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” by Robert Louis Stevenson, is about a scientist, Dr. Jekyll, who creates a potion because he wanted to become someone else. But little did he know that his evil side would take over him. The potion can turn him into Mr. Hyde and then when he wants, turn back into Dr. Jekyll. Later in the story, his evil side started getting out of control; he would be turning into Mr. Hyde without taking the potion. This problem relates to us all, when we let our bad side take over us. For example, when we want something, jealousy, madness, or sometimes even revenge. All of these examples can sooner or later take over our good side, but we need to be strong and take controll.

In my life, I am sometimes a lazy slob eating junk food, and sleeping in, contrasted with when I’m active and being healthy. However, sometimes I’m too lazy and sleeping in that soon days, becomes weeks, turning into months, but unlike Dr. Jekyll, I can control it and realize that I need to go to the gym! 🙂
