Persuasive Argument
Throughout history, we of citizens have never seen anything brutal as this. Mr. Hyde, known for assaulting a youngster a year ago, has again committed another crime. Brutally beaten and murdering Sir Danver Carew, Mr. Hyde mysteriously disappears, as everyone far knows that he is wanted. It was said by a maid looking out the window, as she experience the whole killing. Showing no emotion, Hyde beats Carew senselessly with his cane, and runs away, leaving the body and half of his cane, hoping no one would find him. As the police investigate, they already conclude that Hyde is the killer, yet they don't find him and put him under bars. This exactly happened with the little girl incident, as they don't arrest Hyde for his poor manners. That's why I, along with my supporters, are against this man.

Character/Theme
In this mysterious book of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde", the character I am most drawn to is Mr. Hyde, the antagonist in the book. Mostly I am drawn to him is because of his actions, as he manages to kill two men, yet escaping after the police arrives. It is also Dr. Jekyll that is partially in this, as he has made an affair with Mr. Hyde himself, which will later in the book tell us that they are actually the same person. With Mr. Utterson investigating, he describes, letting the reader know that Hyde is cunning, mysterious, and awkward.
Stevenson is clearly showing us the theme within this character. The author describes Hyde for many things that he has undone, such as violence, science, and friendship. Violence in particular, is a major theme for Hyde, as he beats and is convicted of two murderers. Science is another one, as Mr. Hyde is himself in the book based on Dr. Jekyll's greediness. Friendship matters here, as Jekyll withdrew his friends for his career in science.

Response for "The Story of the Door" Reaction
There were many moments in the story that were the most memorable but the one that stood out in front of all the other ones was the incident that Mr. Enfield witnessed. This moment in the story refers to the short man and the little girl bumping into each other, and then stepping over the screaming girl. To Mr. Enfield, he felt puzzled and very confused, but to the reader, they felt they didn't understand the text, and what was wrong with this situation the author gave to us.
Referring to the passages, this situation in this chapter definitely contributes to "Victorian Morals and Values", as in the beginning of the passage explains how it was to be respect towards woman and there would be severe punishments during this time period. This clearly explains why Mr. Enfield took this as an offense towards the little man, as it was disrespectful to pump into someone nor stepping on them. It was also surprisingly as how he calmly stepped over her and let her leaving screaming on the floor. Again, during this passage, some themes were implied during their explanation, due to its resemblance towards the passage. I believe the author is trying to tell us is "treat others the way you wanted to be treated", as it wasn't fair for the little girl to be stepped on.
