I disagree that Atticus is a total failure as a parent. Being a widower and a man who is nearly in his fifties, he is much older than most parents who has kids around the same age as Scout and Jem. Because of his profound intelligence, calm wisdom as well as exemplary behavior, his parenting style is rather unique.

The history of colonial America and the colonists’ erudite actions to gain their independence from Britain has served as a microcosm in history to display how the American Revolution was crucial and influenced several movements around the world such as the French Revolution. Some might even argue that the French Revolution also inspired European revolutionary movements and the Russian Revolution around the 1940s. The thirteen colonies altered the way they were being run and developed a unique…

Not only for not following the rules but for her gender. The freedom of Greek women was extremely limited. The rules and strictures placed…
