I believe that as a class we should discuss this quote from the second chapter of the epilogue, "Why does my action strike them as so horrible?" he said to himself. "Is it because it was a crime? What is meant by crime? My conscience is at rest. Of course, it was a legal crime, of course, the letter of the law was broken and  blood was shed." I feel that we should examine this quote because after all that Raskolnikov has put us through and all that we have seen him go through, I feel like he has betrayed himself and more importantly I believe that he has betrayed ME. I mean honestly, after all that he has been through and after all that he has put himself through, he is still trying to justify his actions. I had hoped that with his confession to the police, he would have finally accepted that he had done the wrong thing or that he had done wrong. Sadly however, he decides to disappoint us one last time by trying to make himself feel a little better about himself and what he did.

ISTJ Introvert(6%) Sensing(3%) Thinking(12%) Judging(41%)
The test also said that I may also be of the INTJ personality type but ISTJ was more prominent. I think that the test was pretty darn accurate and I love that my highest percentage is in the Judging category, only because that fits me so well. Not sure about what else to say other than I do like to put a lot of prior planning and thinking before I make most of my decisions and I rarely am comfortable with improvisation on the fly. However if I have to then I have the ability to improvise with my decision making. I do enjoy being around people that I like for a certain amount of time, but I definitely do require some time apart from people in order to recharge. As far as the whole Justice over mercy thing I do have a profound love of Justice, but I also understand and see that there are many instances in which mercy can and should be used.

My favorite Affirmation came from my mother, this is what she had to say.
