... it. However, the dictionary does not give an indication on whether racism is a fair and just belief, and yet we allow them in all schools. To Kill a Mockingbird is spoken through the eyes of a seven year old who comes to the conclusion through the trial of Tom Robinson that racism is unjust. As the story progresses you learn the hate put onto a man solely due to his color. Through a wise, just, man, Atticus, you learn that hate should never be brought onto anyone. Prejudice is another example in which hate should not be brought forth in. To Kill a Mockingbird demonstrates prejudice through Boo Radley. Boo shows us that thoughts can be brought o ...

... reads of the time from Rome's fall to medieval times learning through the stories of the characters, most notable Augustine and Patrick. Augustine, his faith based on Roman Chrisitanity, “looked into his own heart and found the anguish of each individual.” (Cahill, p. 115) Patrick, the slave turned Christian, escapes only to return to convert the Irish. He was the first missionary to the barbarians beyond Greco-Roman law “who looked into the hearts of others.” (Cahill, p. 115) Cahill notes Ireland is the only land where Christianity is introduced without violence - there were no murdered Irish martyrs. (Cahill, p. 151) He discusses the growth of monasterie ...

... their vastly contrasting circumstances, free white women of the North were entirely different creatures than the slaves of the South. As a result of the explosive Industrial Revolution, massive economic growth and the birth of a new middle class in the early part of the nineteenth century, Northern women were experiencing a total reform of society. Nancy Woloch states in Women and the American Experience “middle class Americans had rising incomes, expectations, and living standards” (p.67). The atmosphere was charged with growth and transformation. It was out of this shift in society that the “cult of true womanhood” was born. This idyllic view of women’s appr ...

... his attempts eventually lead to his death. Both the noble intentions and the resulting failures of the American Dream resemble the intentions and corruption of Jay Gatsby in the novel, The Great Gatsby, by F. Scott Fitzgerald. F. Scott Fitzgerald included many examples of the American Dream in the novel. Myrtle Wilson is an example of this. Myrtle, who was married to George Wilson, a low income mechanic, desired money and a higher social status. This desire, which is equivalent to the desire for money in the American Dream, eventually led to the death of Myrtle. Myrtle was having an affair with Tom Buchanan in spite of the fact that he was awful to ...

After Frederick is captured by the battle police, he foresees his inevitable death if no action was taken and instinctively escaped detainment. "I looked at the carabineri, they were looking at the newcomers. The others were looking a the colchel. I ducked down, pushed between two men, and ran for the river, my head down. I tripped at the edge and went in with a splash" (Hemingway, 214). Henry witnessed the gruesome executions of the officers before him and knew he was not going to die without a figh ...

... the bluest eye. One of the main themes in this book is the fact that Pecola’s madness was not brought on by herself, but rather society and in particular, her family. Pecola Breedlove is an innocent little girl who, like very other young child, did not ask to be born in this cruel world.

Her own father, who is constantly drunk, sexually molests his daughter more than once. The first time he has sexual intercourse with his daughter, he leaves her slightly unconscious, and lying on the kitchen floor with a quilt covering her frail, limp, preteen bod ...

... that tormenting him is the best way to occupy their time. In fact, to the whole town the Radley family are mean people that kept to them selves. "There goes the meanest man ever God blew breath into," said Calpurnia (page 12). This shows how mean people can be just by judging others by their outsides. What gives these people the right to make these kind of conclusions without ever even meeting the person(s). Later in the book the Finch children find presents hidden in a tree next to the Radley place. They can't figure out who would set these nice gifts out for them. Later they find out that is Boo Radley. He is just trying to be nice and other people won't ...

Still, the manager must do much thinking and research in order to figure out just how to express his goal in terms of these measurement. In addition to expressing the goal, the manager is troubled by whether employees, robots, and machinery actuall need to be r ...

... work there. Biddy, a friend of the family often helped us out here and there. She taught me how to read and write. I would often go and visit my parent’s tombstones in the local graveyard down by the marshes. On day while I was there, saying hello to them, I was confronted by a very scary man. A man who would soon change my life forever. He was a scary looking kind of guy, and he was very demanding. He ordered me around to get him things. And from the chains on his feet, I could tell he was a convict. I did what he said anyway, because I was afraid he would kill me, or hurt me very badly. So I got him what he needed. The next night, the town soldiers cam ...
