    During Casey's trial she sat there emotionless. The only time that she had appeared to be upset was when the jury had criticized her as a person, but not as a parent. Casey used the defense that she was allegedly sexually abused as a child as a reason to be unfit for trial, even though she had already proclaimed her innocence. When Casey had been told that her daughter's body had been found she acted like it was not a surprise to her. Nothing about her daughter being dead seemed to phase her.…

    One of John Knowles’ philosophies was that, “Loss of innocence is not only a necessary evil, but it is vital to spiritual growth, as the loss of the umbilical chord is to physical growth”. This, along with many of his other philosophies, can be seen through his writing. In A Separate Peace this can be seen in World War II, Devon, and Finny and Gene.…

    Often, we as humans tend to separate ourselves from stories and myths. If a story is fictitious, we immediately dismiss any possibility of relating and learning from it. However, some archetypal events and themes observed in literature may be far more real than we wish to admit. The loss of innocence is one such archetype. Despite having broad definition, the effects of the loss of innocence are narrow. Commonly, an innocent or ignorant individual experiences an event or realization causing a shift towards experience and knowledge. Archetypes are present in Roman and Greek myths, and are still used today, sometimes unknowingly, in stories, songs, and poems. This is likely because it is a reflection of events in our own lives, to a certain extent. The innocence of youth, prevalence of a life-changing event, and experience of adults are all observed in life and literature alike.…

    The Museum of Tolerance, in my opinion, is one of the best museums that were ever created. It tells the story of the Holocaust and shows how the Jewish people were treated during that time. The museum shows film footage of deportation scenes and simulated sets of concentration camps. Although the basis of the museum is the Holocaust, the museum also makes people face racism and prejudices. This museum is anything other than ordinary and it is a very educational experience.…

    I decided to do extra credit for a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance. On Sunday, March 13, I went to the Museum of Tolerance with my sister. The first thing I noticed was you can’t bring camera to the Museum of Tolerance. As for me, I love taking picture and I was very disappointed. However, I went inside to the Museum of Tolerance and I kind of understand why you can’t bring camera to the museum. The Museum of Tolerance, in my opinion, is one of the best museums that were ever created. It tells the story of Holocaust and shows how the Jewish people were treated during that time. The museum shows film footage of deportation scenes and simulated sets of concentration camps. Although the basis of the museum is the Holocaust, the museum also makes people face racism and prejudices.

    The book To Kill a Mockingbird has many different themes. One that really stood out to me was Childhood Innocence, because the story is written from Scout’s point of view it portrays her childish and immature thoughts towards all of the events that happen in her life. Not only is Scout childish at times her brother Jem and her friend Dill also show irresponsible actions through the games they choose to play and the way they react to different things such as getting in trouble or just barely getting out of a tight spot. This analysis will go into depth of the continuous example of childhood innocence throughout the book.…

    A mockingbird is a harmless bird that makes the world more pleasant. In To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, the mockingbird represents Tom Robinson, who was a peaceful man that never did any harm. To kill or harm him would be a sin. Scout's father, Atticus, tells Scout and Jem, "I'd rather you shoot at tin cans in the backyard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird."(p.69) The mockingbird represents Tom Robinson because he does not have his own “song”. Whereas, the blue jay is loud and obnoxious, the mockingbird only sings other birds' songs. Therefore, the mockingbird is seen through the other birds. Tom Robinson is as innocent as a mockingbird. The people of Maycomb only knew Tom Robinson by what others said about him. He does not really have his own "song", so he is characterized by other people's viewpoints.…
