Unmasking The Mr. Cunningham I
.... as in Mr. Cunningham. Sometimes, a person's depth cannot be judged by their respect toward another, in that their own beliefs and personalities might interfere.
Another reason Mr. Cunningham represents the people of Maycomb is that he also humbles and doesn't non-chalantly accuse Atticus of wrongdoing. He withdraws, uncertain of his own actions. Some citizens in Maycomb are unable to bring themselves to accuse Atticus to his face. Instead, they jeer at Jem and Scout. Mr. Cunningham's son even taun .....

Our lives have had extreme relevance to the writings of Chief Seathl. Chief Seathl said that one cannot harm the earth. Most would have agreed with all Chief .....
