Independent Study and the Big Question

In my independent study novel, Sammy's Hill, the main character really tried to make good choices and the only actions she make that could be construed as evil were having sex with her boyfriend on the first date and constantly drinking alcohol every night. These choices were frivolous decisions made emotionally and without much thought. They sometimes got Sammy into trouble but rarely had a significant impact on her life. The people who did make conscious evil decisions were probably the politicians in the book. They chose to increase their personal power on Capitol Hill rather than help their constituents. Often, many politicians choose what they think will give them the greatest personal gain over helping the people who voted to put them in power.
