Ethical Differences Between Lee And The Survivors
This particular episode begins with Lee and the rest of the survivors as they begin their quest to find a safe place to prevent them from getting attacked by the walkers. Kenny and Lee are seen walking and searching for supplies in order to keep the other survivors alive. In this episode, I had to make an ethical decision and the only difference I noticed while making this decision it was earlier than expected. The first tough choice that I had to make was to leave the girl to be bitten by the zombies or to just shoot the girl. Just like you Lucas, I chose not to shoot the girl. I did that because killing her would have been the wrong move and also because I figured that shooting her means less time to take the supplies that Kenny and I were

    Throughout life people are misrepresented, stereotyped, and seen as something they aren't. This can greatly affect the person's life and the way they interact with the world. The image of the mockingbird is represented through many characters in Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird such as Tom Robinson and Boo Radley. In the novel killing a mockingbird is a symbol of loss of innocence. There are many “mockingbirds” in the story, which takes place in a town called Maycomb, Alabama during the Great Depression. One of the “mockingbirds” in the story is Tom Robinson, a African American man, accused of raping a white woman and falsely convicted for it.

    In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the theme is that you shouldn’t discriminate anyone. One of the three who were discriminated in this book were the african-americans, the african-americans were the group of people who accumulated copious quantities of discrimination and presumably the worst out of the three. “There’s something in our world that makes men lose their heads, they couldn’t be fair if they tried. In our courts, when it’s a white man’s word against a black man’s word, the white always wins. They’re ugly, but these are the facts of life.(252).” Lee was trying to rationalize that when a white man and a black man had a complication, the white man would always win no matter what had truly happened. Furthermore about discrimination there is age discrimination, while Atticus is very capable and unyielding, his abilities as a man are often judged utterly based off of his age.…

    Bam! Bam! Bam! “Order in the court! I find the defendant guilty of all charges. You will be hanged for this offense.” This was the sentence for Tom Robinson, a courageous black who stood up to defend himself in court. It took great courage to stand up for blacks back in that time. Atticus Finch was very courageous to stand up for a man who had done no wrong; many people gave him grief for doing his job. There is indeed great courage in this story, not only Atticus’s defense, but in others, such as Mrs. Dubose in battling her morphine addiction, and Dill for running away after his parents lost interest in him. In the novel,To Kill a Mockingbird, courageous acts are seen throughout the course of the story, which makes the story far more exciting and adventurous.…
