.... also to have no prejudices against anyone that is different than them. He also spends a lot of time with them to help them with their schoolwork and any troubles that they maybe facing. In addition another heroic quality is Atticus’ persistence. For instance, Atticus is very persistent with the children to have them do their homework and to succeed in whatever they do. This shows that he deeply cares about the children and wants them to grow up to be the best that they can be. Atticus also wants his children to prove to the world what they can accomplish. A .....

.... express their feelings. However, I am not trying to say that Huck calls Jim a N- because he does not like him. He probably picked it up from other people (adults). Besides this "vulgarity" as An Lew has put it, this book in my eyes is a perfectly good reading book for young people. It is exciting, adventurous, and realistic. Most of the N- words are used by Huck and as you see of their relationship together, you know that Huck does not mean it in a bad way. Since this word was used and passed around for quite some time, Huck must have picked it up f .....

.... in the N orth and provoke angry rebuttals in the south than any other event in antebellum era. Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896), born Lichfeild, Connecticut, was the daughter, sister, and wife of liberal clergymen and theologians. Her father Lyman and brother Henry Ward were two of the most preeminent theologians of the nineteenth century. This extremely devout Christian upbringing, focusing on the doctrines of sin, guilt, atonement and salvation, had an undeniable impact in her writings. Each of her characters displays some aspect of these bel .....

.... is always ready for a fight. His victory over Piggy represents the triumph of violence over intellect, as he smashes one of the lenses of the fat boy's glasses. The knife that he carries is a symbol of the death and destruction that accompany his every act. He does have some attractive qualities-bravery and resourcefulness. But his wrath, envy, pride, hatred, and lust for blood easily obscure these. He is constantly attempting to weaken Ralph's hold on the boys. He suggests opposite measures, he shouts abusively, he threatens, he is constantly demanding to be ma .....

.... sister, she expressed her opinion as to Jane Bennet's relationship towards a gentleman. She says it is probably better not to study a person because you would probably know as much after twelve months as if she married him the next day. Charlotte even goes as far as to say that “it is better to know as little as possible of the defects of the person with whom you are to pass your life” (p.21). Charlotte considered Mr. Collins "neither sensible nor agreeable" but since marriage had always been her goal in life, "at the age of twenty-seven, with having never bee .....

.... to take place over night. However, it is known that what we are, what we know, and how we act all reflects on the way in which we grow up and develop. Not to state the obvious, but I was raised very different from what the novel describes as an African-American male. Considering I am a Caucasian female, I was not raised with the attitude that I need to fend for myself. I did not need to learn self-defense in order to stay safe on the playground. My mother did not coach me on which ways to walk home from school. I didn't have to worry about it since the schools we .....

.... as a “no-no boy.” Being a full blooded Japanese born in America was not an easy life. Especially considering the time period in which the novel takes place: Post World War II. Many Japanese-Americans were forced to make a choice at this time: Fight and possibly die for a country that would show them no respect anyway, or choose not to fight and be hated and despised, as well as unrespected. This choice given to the Japanese-American’s was in essence a “catch 22.” Although Ichiro was an American by blood, to him, “it [was] not enough to be American only in .....
