by Jem and me. He was thought to have stabbed his father in the leg with
scissors and everyone thinks that he is a freak. Boo Radley was said to
have never been seen by anyone but his family for many years ever since he
stabbed his father. Dill had the "brilliant" idea that they should try to
get Boo Radley to come out so they could see his face. Atticus said that
we should just leave him alone because he probably doesn't want to be
bothered by people on the outside, that was why he never came out.
Dill was a boy that came to Maycomb about every summer and was one
of Jem and my best friend. While in May .....

Characterization Of Zaroff In Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game"
.... victims feel comfortable around him, he forces them to play his
"game". 11) This usually ends up in death for General Zaroff's poor
captives. 12) Therefore, we can see that the antagonist in the short story
"The Most Dangerous Game" is not only sadistic and arrogant, but also
manipulative.

To Kill A Mockingbird: Sterotypes And Misconceptions
.... Also, Boo was
considerate enough to save Jem from a couple of whippings, because after
all, if Atticus were to see the torn pants he would have known Jem was the
culprit in the Radley's yard. “You were so busy looking at the fire, you
didn't notice Boo behind you”(pg 76) This was also a symbol which Boo
shared to let the kids slowly realize the truth about him, that he was an
innocuous caring person hiding behind a fading shadow. Boo just wanted to
be seen as the real him instead of the horrid stereotypes which deformed
his image.
Misconceptions are results of prejudice in Jehovah's Witnesses'
case. When they come stroll .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Atticus Is Kind, Smart, And Wise
.... than people usually would. She wasn't
comfortable with it, but that is the way he is. Atticus is trying to teach
his children to be courteous to everyone, too. Atticus always thinks of
others, too. He was kind to Mrs. Dubose, because she was on morphine. He is
also nice to Mrs. Tom Robinson, and the black community. This shows his
kindness and thoughtfulness to others.
In the above paragraphs I have proven that Atticus is kind, wise
and seeks the truth. Now Scout sees that Atticus isn't flimsy and feeble.
She sees that he is strong and wise, and that she and Jem should respect
him.

Literary Analysis Of To Kill A Mockingbird
.... of prejudice in the book would be the sexism and
resulting stereotypical views of how women and men should act, dress, and
what they can and cannot do. A good example of this being the many times
Mrs. Dubose made statements like, “What are you doing in overalls. If you
don't start acting proper you will end up serving tables”(101). What I
would consider to be vast majority of this sexism was aimed at women and
girls. They were constantly told what was proper and lady-like and what
they should dress like to look like a lady. These so called ideals were not
only reinforced and tought by men but also by women. Scout was one of the

.... Boo had always seen it.
At that point, she understood Boo. Scout learned that you cannot
understand someone until you see things through his eyes in that she
achieved a new perception of Boo when she observed her town from his front
porch.
Both of the lessons portrayed are essential in the full development
of Scout's awareness of the world. The lesson she learned from Tom
Robinson gives her a moral outlook on her behavior toward others. The
lesson Boo Radley revealed to her allows her to think before making an
assumption about someone. Tom Robinson and Boo Radley granted Scout two
very necessary lessons of life.

Of Mice And Men: Why I Shot Lennie
.... I'm the one
that killed him but because I should have watched him more closely. I
should not have left him in the barn with Curley's wife. I think that they
started talking and somehow Curley's wife had him touch her hair. As you
know Lennie likes soft things so he kept touching it. She started to panic
when he wouldn't let go so she struggled and screamed. Lennie got scared
and grabbed her neck and somehow snapped it. The poor fellow. He didn't
know any better.
My farm seems very empty without my best friend. It just doesn't
seem right to be on that farm without Lennie. It wasn't my dream and it
wasn't Lennie's dream b .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: The Theme Of Prejudice
.... are
attacked by Bob Ewell. People were prejudiced against Boo because he is
different. The children had not seen him so they made up stories about him
(Johnson,1). They were afraid of him. They didn't realize it was Boo
leaving the gifts and wanted to be friendly. In part two the main focus
is on Tom Robinson. He is a black man accused of raping white woman.
The prejudice in this part of the novel is called racism. The opinion
formed because of the color if Tom's skin. Racism was very common in
the south at this period in American history. African Americans were
treated differently than whites. They were not allowed to use t .....

Symbolism In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird
.... foundation out of dirt, and then
covered it with what snow they had. One could interpret this in two
different ways. First of all, the creation of the snowman by Jem can be
seen as being symbolic of Jem trying to cover up the black man and showing
that he is the same as the white man, that all human beings are virtually
the same. Approval of these views is shown by Atticus when he tells Jem, "I
didn't know how you were going to do it, but from now on I'll never worry
about what'll become of you, son, you'll always have an idea." The fire
that night that engulfed Miss Maudie Atkinson's house can be seen as the
prejudice of Maycomb .....
