... is of most value to them eventually. The young man set out on what would be a journey of self discovery. He had a lot of pride in his heart. "He had the idea that in Indian country, where there was danger, all white men were kings, and he wanted to be one of them." But he was knocked down the first notch when he discovered out there that some men could still be his superiors even when they couldn't read like he did. These men still had the necessary skills to be good at what they needed to be good at in the circumstances they lived in. Then the young man supposed that he could buy with money the kind of men he wanted to associate with but that didn't work o ...

... hardly exceeded eight hundred, including those farmers who lived on the outskirts. Within his village there were among five different denominations, and it was understood that each looked after it’s own, unless a situation go to big and then outside help might be called in. Although many did not exhort their religion it was known by all who was of what denomination and what they stood for. Dunstans up bringing had an immense impact on his life style. To a certain degree, religion isolated people within the community from one another, however Dunstan’s mother had a tenderness display and was always open armed to anyone, despite their denomination. This infl ...

... like in the Tom Robinson case. Even Judge Taylor knew that Tom was innocent, which is why he got Atticus to defend him. Still Atticus sought the truth in the case, even though it was the 1930's and a black man's word was not as good as a white person's 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. Dubo ...

... trial date was set for April 27th. Then Brown asked Judge Sebe Dale’s to drop the case because a black man was not on the grand jury. Brown did this because of a recent ruling made by the 5th U.S. circuit court of Appeals. The ruling stated that it was unconstitutional for a jury of an all white people to convict a black man. The ruling went on to say that one African American had to be on a jury when an African American was on trial. This defense tactic by Brown was a legally intelligent thing to do but this actually became the motive for the mob to kill Parker. On Friday April 24th J.P. Walker, Preacher Lee, Crip Reyer and L.C. Davis got into Reyer’s Oldsmob ...

... became a minister for the church of England in 1694. After Sir William Temple died in 1669, Swift became a pastor of a small Protestant parish in Laracor, Ireland. He was ordained in 1694. His skill as a writer was greatly appreciated within the church and was well known in Dublin. If one were to divide Swift's career into "periods," the years 1710-14 would naturally fall into the "Middle Period."(Cook, V) In 1710, he became a powerful supporter of the Tory government in England. Through many of Swift's articles and pamphlets in defense, he became one of the most effective public relations men any English administration ever had. The Tories saw how good ...

... Luck Club," a group started by some Chinese women during World War II, where "we feasted, we laughed, we played games, lost and won, we told the best stories. And each week, we could hope to be lucky. That hope was our only joy." (p. 12) Really, this was their only joy. The mothers grew up during perilous times in China. They all were taught "to desire nothing, to swallow other people's misery, to eat [their] own bitterness." (p. 241) Though not many of them grew up terribly poor, they all had a certain respect for their elders, and for life itself. These Chinese mothers were all taught to be honorable, to the point of sacrificing their own lives to keep a ...

... “doin’ all the work and not getting what comes up outa the ground.” Their dream was one of independence and self-fulfillment that was often hard to come by for migrant workers of that day. Yet in this case, the plot develops to the point where their dream seems more attainable with Candy’s involvement. But here lies the tragedy of this classic novel. Their dream turned into a cliché of a line in Robert Burns’ poem where he writes that “the best-laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley.” Their dream seemed it would become a success until a tragic event brought failure. The novel brings about the question of whether or not human life has a purpose. The read ...

... to make his paintings as realistic as possible. In Greek mythology, Narcissus was a beautiful young youth, who fell in love with his own reflection, and then drowned while trying to embrace himself. His body was never recovered, but a flower, which was named after him was. The left side of this painting shows the kneeling Narcissus, outlined by the craggy rocks of what could only be Cape Creus's. On the right side of the painting, the scene has morphed into a more idyllic and classical scene, in which the kneeling Narcissus has become the statue of a hand, holding a cracked egg, from which emerges The Narcissus flower. This painting reminded me of the first cha ...
