... a friends with Jem and Scout. According to Scout they are married. (Boo) Arthur Radley is the person that takes Jem back to his house after Jem gets hurt by Bob Ewell. Tom Robinson is a black man that was accused of raping Mayella Ewell. Bob Ewell is Mayella's father. He is out for revenge on Atticus for what he did to him and his daughter. Mayella is Bob's daughter who supposedly got raped by Tom Robinson. Judge Taylor is the Judge of Maycomb County. Heck Tate is the county law official. I think the protagonist in the story is Atticus Finch because he has the main part and he has the biggest decision to make. The decision being whether to defend or not t ...

... For example in Act 3 During Antony speech he says “But Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is an honourable man. He hath brought many captives home to Rome whose ransoms did the general coffers fill: Did this in Caesar seem ambitious? When that the poor have cried, Caesar hath wept: Ambition should be made of sterner stuff: Yet Brutus says he was ambitious; And Brutus is a honourable man.” By this it shows that Antony is intelligent and has courage for he mocks Brutus and his accusations. And it shows how he can manipulate the crowd by telling of Caesars wonderful accomplishments. Antony then shows his anger towards the conspirators ...

... crops and their money. He wants to grow his own crops, work in his own fields, and make a better living. “Someday---we’re gonna get the jack together and we’re gonna have a little house and a couple of acres an’ a cow and some pigs and……… ‘An’ live off the fatta the lan’.”(Steinbeck 14) What George wanted most of all was to not be lonely. “Guys like us, that work on ranches, are the loneliest guys in the world. They got no family. They don’t belong no place.”(Steinbeck 13) George has been saving up money to buy a piece of land for Lennie and him to live on. He finally has enough money for the land when Candy decided to join them and use his money to h ...

... to California, Al takes on a great responsibility. His job is to drive the family and take complete care of the truck that they are driving. Al takes his job very seriously and gets upset when anything happens to the car. Emotionally, I would say Al has become very strong throughout the novel. He starts out pretty depend on the "glory" of his brother, but he takes his responsibilities seriously. I see Al as being a crucial character later in the novel. He is the kind of person that needs motivation from the start, but once he gets going, he won't stop. Setting Description Oklahoma could best be described as one large dustbowl. All rain has ceased to ...

... executive Vice President Willam Knudsen, U.A.W. President Homer Martin and the Governor of Michigan, Frank Murphy. Sloan and Knudsen represented the GM stock holders and the interest of management. They did not want collective bargaining because it would take power away from management. Martin represented the working people on GM assembly lines and all auto workers in the United States of America. Governor Murphy’s role was to mediate, but he was on General Motors side. He insisted that the sit-downers get basic human right’s such as food, heat, and water. Murphy also controlled the police and National Guard. They shot and killed several strikers. After it was al ...

... is perhaps the most common source, in early SF literature, for invasions into Earth - the most famous example being H.G. Wells' War of the Worlds. In Bradbury's novel, we see how it can happen the other way around. As in Wells' work, here, too, the Martians are killed by Earth's bacteria -- but rather than a case of victory in a war, this is a sad disaster. The desease wiped out a beautiful, wise, and ancient civilization. The book depicts humankind as mostly violent in nature. Bradbury holds a mirror in front of the reader's face, and the reflected image is not very nice. The science in the book is very soft core (and at times very unrealistic, even considering t ...

... torment was Roger Chillingworth. Chillingworth prays vengeance on Hester’s partner in crime (Dimmesdale) not Hester herself. When he visited Hester in prison he said, “He bears no letter of infamy wrought into his garment, as thou dost; but I shall read it on his heart…” pg.70, this quote foreshadows the symbol that Chillingworth sees on Dimmesdale’s chest. Chillingworth claims he can be Dimmesdale’s savior because he can cure his illness, or really his guilt. The truth to this is that Chillingworth acts as if he were Dimmesdale’s friend and through doing this he really will not save him but lead him to his demise ...

... the important crop, yams. This may have caused the men to develop their superiority over females. The main role of women in the novel was to serve their husband. Women cooked for their husband, and did many other chores to comfort him. They also assisted in repairing the huts. The women never received important jobs such as tapping the palm tree for palm wine or harvesting yams. The women were also there to produce children. A good wife could produce many children. In today’s society some women might cook or do other comforting chores, but so do many men. Men take care of children as well as women. In Okonkwo’s village, taking care of c ...

... no televisions, not even close to that technology yet. Who would we study and learn about, if no one had written things. Man kind would be studying the man who had invented the television because he would have been able to record himself, and then everything after that, which is only about fifty years. But without the recordings of Einstein and all the other famous scientists, television probably would not be invented that early. In our day and age people are watching too much television. We figure that everything that is in books is on the television. If we need to learn about something we rent a movie about it or watch a show on it. No one reads boo ...

... injure Finny for being too perfect. Unfortunately for Finny, Gene succeeded. Finny's seeming perfection, his strong beliefs, and his ability to forgive trace his development throughout the novel. Finny's seeming perfection was the basis for Gene's resentment towards him. Gene thought that everything Finny did was perfect, which just upset Gene all the more. Finny was so perfect that he didn't care what others thought, like when Finny wore a pink shirt as an emblem after the bombing of central Europe. " '...Pink! It makes you look like a fairy!' 'Does it?' He used this preoccupied tone when he was thinking of something more interesting than what you had said ...
