Characterization Of Zaroff In Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game"
.... them to do without that person realizing that he
is getting brainwashed. 10) For example, the general pretends to be very
civilized and generous thus, people start to trust Zaroff, but as soon as
Zaroff's 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
.... “When I got there, my breeches were all folded and sewn up”(pg 63)
When Boo sewed Jem's breeches together, this was a sign from Boo to let the
children realize what a kind and pleasant man he really was. 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 .....

.... word. Atticus believed in Tom. He makes a good lawyer because of
this trait of seeking the truth.
Atticus would be kind to everyone. He gives Mayella the title
Miss..., and treats her nicer 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 .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Courage

trust Atticus when the mob comes for him, and not until after they leave
does he say “Are they gone yet ?”.
In conclusion, I feel that most of the people in Maycomb have
courage, and use it towards a good cause.

Literary Analysis Of To Kill A Mockingbird
.... And although Scout didn't truly know the
meanings of these statements seemingly rooted into the core of many Maycomb
populants, she did sense that they were not statements of reverement.
Another type 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 .....

.... was mysterious. She never really understood him until the end of
the novel. After walking Boo to his house, Scout looked at the town from
the porch, Boo's point of view. She saw Maycomb how 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 developme .....

Of Mice And Men: Why I Shot Lennie
.... and he would be fine without me.
Yes, Lennie was a very smart person.
As I look back to those events leading up to Lennie's death I kind
of think that it's my fault that he's dead. Not just because 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

To Kill A Mockingbird: The Theme Of Prejudice
.... breaks out at Miss Maudies, and Scout is standing outside in the
cold. Boo wraps a blanket around her, without her knowing that he did.
The other time didn't happen until part two, when Jem and Scout 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 Robinso .....

Symbolism In Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird
.... do have their share of
symbolism. For instance, the building of a snowman by Jem and Scout one
winter is very symbolic. There was not enough snow to make a snowman
entirely out of snow, so Jem made a 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 ar .....

the person who raped her. However, there were several discrepancies in the
testimony that she provided under questioning and cross examination. The
defendants lawyer, Atticus Finch, tried to capitalize on the contradictory
statements made by Ms. Ewell. He questioned the witness using a variety of
techniques and seemed to receive less than uniform answers to the same
questions that were asked in a different manner. At times the witness
appeared confused and became frustrated and emotional .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Mobs
.... in the courtroom, another moral dilemma arose: this time within
the jury. Once more, a group of twelve men came with an intent of charging
Tom Robinson guilty. No where did it say the bias jury initially had a
guilty verdict in mind, but with the attitude towards blacks in Maycomb
County, Lee made it bluntly obvious that they had no intention of
pronouncing Tom innocent. In the book Atticus made it very clear, "In our
courts, when it's a white man's word against a black man's, the white man
always win .....

To Kill A Mockingbird: Injustice
.... society and the white townsfolk,
Tom went through the trial without getting aggravated because he was
falsely accused, and conducted himself as a gentleman. Tom's actions depict
the kind of man he truly was, not one to rape and beat a helpless teenager,
but one to conduct himself as a civilized human being. I strongly feel
that this is a remedy that Harper Lee offers on the subject of dealing with
everyday injustice. Instead of getting angry when someone puts us down, we
should react by laughing along .....
