We have a group hug and I left into the wasteland. I was exhausted and have only walked for twenty-five minutes, I was almost half way done with my supplies too so I decided too set up camp and go to sleep before sleeping I prayed to Felicitas the god of success so I can succeed in this journey.

    The reason Atticus said ¨It is a sin to kill a Mockingbird¨ is because the mockingbirds do not do anything to us but sing. Atticus is also comparing people to being a mockingbird. Just like Boo Radley because it is not his fault he is a recluse, he leaves the house just to save Scout and Jem from Bob Ewell, therefore risking become the town hero. What Atticus is trying to say is that to not judge people by what they look like. Have standards and stick to them no matter what happens to them. He says it is not a sin to kill a bluejay, because bluejays represent bullies, racism, and the anger in everyone. Some of the examples for the bluejays are Bob Ewell, and the mad dog that Atticus attacks. When someone kills a bluejay it represents stopping…

    It must be acknowledged that there were several negative outcomes of Atticus’ decision to take on the case of Tom Robinson. For instance, when it is first discovered by the people of Maycomb that Mr. Finch has assumed the black man’s case, even their children lash out against Scout and Jem, nearly causing a fight in the schoolyard as a result (Lee 77). However, Atticus uses this as a teaching moment for his children, which is then imparted along to the vast number of readers who have studied the pages of To Kill A Mockingbird, learning the same invaluable lesson that Scout does, to “hold [one’s] head high and keep [one’s] fists down” and continue to stand and fight for what is right and just (Lee 78). Furthermore, some could question the wisdom…

    Since the American Civil War, the North and South have technically been one nation. The South was bullied into joining the United States, which still leads to bad blood for them today. They feel as though it was not their decision to join, but more of them being forced into it. Confederates in the Attic portrays this feeling by visiting various southern cities and receiving opinions on the issue. And Still We Rise shows how students overcome adversity to be successful in their lives. This novel also portrays that everyone in the United States has basic rights of Liberty and Justice. They are given a chance to make a life. Although, some people have to work a lot harder to reach that goal. Based on the two novels, I deduce that the United States…

    Harper Lee, the author of To Kill a Mockingbird, wrote her novel with the intentions of showing people that people's actions and perspectives or ways of thinking reflect their morals or beliefs.

    After their near altercation with the mob at the jail, Scout asked Atticus why Mr. Cunningham, one of their friends, wanted to hurt him. Atticus said that while Mr. Cunningham was part of a group, he was still an individual. When Scout asked Mr. Cunningham about his entailment, she forced him to have empathy for the Finches who have shown kindness to his family. Had Scout not done this, Mr. Cunningham never would have considered things from Atticus’s point of view and the mob would have hurt Atticus and killed Tom. This event along with Atticus’s analysis show the dangers of group thinking. Group thinking lacks consideration. In this example, the mob lacked consideration for the Finches because they did not hold the same beliefs about the Tom…

    Imagine being out in the fields hunting with your father. It has been a long day and a spitted warthog hangs between you. All of a sudden you are ambushed! An enemy tribe attacks you and your father. You fight using your makeshift spear but are overwhelmed by the number of tribesmen. You are hit in the head with a rock and fall unconscious. When you wake you are being loaded into a great wooden monster. You cringe in fear as you and your fellow captives are herded into this great wooden beast. You scream in protest at the white men who have chained you but they just beat you on the head with their rifles. You are taken into a dark and disgusting hold. The prisoners next to you are screaming in fear. The smell of waste and vomit permeates everything. As a white man chains you down below you think of your family and realize you are never going to see them again. Sleep comes slowly because of the cries of pain and misery; the rocking of the floor eventually puts you to sleep. A long time has passed. Your days consist of sleeping in your own filth, eating a disgusting porridge, and rarely seeing outside your hold. But one day the hold is opened and bright light blinds you. You are lifted to your weakened legs and led outside. The land is alien to you, and white men are everywhere. You are paraded in front of a great throng of white people. The humiliation is great as you are poked and inspected. Eventually you are shackled and loaded onto a horse-drawn cart. The ride is long and uncomfortable and the destination more frightening. You have no idea what is going to happen to you and are very much afraid. You come to a great house and are taken to the fields around the house. You are given into the custody of a great white brute. He puts you into a small cottage with other black men. You have a very difficult time understanding their languages but eventually they get a message across to you: You are a slave, and will live the rest of your days as one.…

    It all started one early morning when I went to visit my best friend Agnes. As I was walking to his house I could sense something bad was about to happen. The streets were very quiet and nobody seemed to be outside. I knocked on the door and waited, and then Agnes opened the door. He said “Ariel what are you doing here? You must leave, you’re in great danger.” I asked him why but he told me to go to my house and stay there. Later he would come over to make sure I was alright and to explain things. I went back home and told my family what had happened earlier. They seemed as confused as I was but they said to wait for Agnes.…
