... seen when Holden said, “
I asked her...if Mr. Cudahy...had ever tried to get wise with her. ...I
wouldn't have put it past that Cudahy bastard” (79).

protect the innocence of children. One occurrence of this is when Holden
went to Phoebe's school and found “fuck you” written on the wall. He was
infuriated because he knew all the children would see it. He said, “

(201). Holden wiped it off because he wanted to protect the children form
seeing it. In fact, the title of the book deals with Holden wanting to
protect kids. Hol ...

Prejudice In To Kill A Mocking
... issues of racism which exists. Atticus Finch once said,
“It’s a sin to kill a mockingbird (Lee 90).”
So why did death come to Tom Robinson, such a kind hearted loving person, whose only true sin was pity for a white woman.
There are many other instances in To Kill A Mockingbird where racism is clearly shown. When Aunt Alexandra makes her first appearance in the novel, she says to Calpurnia,
“Put my bags in the front bedroom, Calpurnia (Lee 127).” This shows the lack of respect and feeling of superiority that Aunt Alexandra has for Calpurnia, because of the colour of her skin.
The inhabitants of the small Southern town of Maycomb ar ...

The Red Badge Of Courage 3
... is what the tattered solider illustrates in the book. The tattered solider's pain comes from all of the horrible things associated with war. Him going crazy brings emotional pain and the physical pain is brought on by the endurance of war. "There was a tattered man, fouled with dust, blood and powder stain from hair to shoes, who trudged quietly at the youths side." (pg 50) The tattered solider also characterizes the toughness people can endear. "... the tattered soldier had two wounds, one in the head and the other in the arm, making that member dangle like a broken bough." (pg 51) "'Was a pretty good fight, wa'n't it?' Said the tattered man." (pg 51) Eve ...

Gods And Generals
... or to resign and go to Virginia to defend his home. Life in the army had ruined his life, “He had missed a father’s great joy of watching his children grow and learn... [and] try not to think about what his career had done to his family.” (Pg. 11) Throughout Part 1, Lee feels something missing from inside him: the feeling of action, of war. While in Texas, General Winfield Scott asks Lee to serve as second in command of the Union Army, but due to the possibility that Virginia could also secede, he declines.
