From To Kill a Mockingbird, one can see that there were multiple people in the novel that were considered to be trash. Atticus believes anyone who is untrustworthy is trash, Aunt Alexandra believes anyone who is not well educated is trash, and Dill believes anyone who breaks the social structure is trash. In today’s society, there are still people one could call trash. Some people are treating others poorly because of their race, religion…

pioneers. “All the dazzling days, all the mystic nights with dreams” (Whitman). In conclusion, despite Cather’s Naturalistic novel O’ Pioneers! the title has a romantic view to it. However, the conflict between Alexandra and Lou and Oscar shows Cather’s view of Naturalism. When Alexandra and her brothers Lou and Oscar get in a fight, they do not make up, unlike in…
This is a logical progression that is easier to follow. Consider eliminating the “character” of Litvinenko, as he confuses the plot (or clarify his role). Consider moving up the teaming of Alexandra and Mark. Create more chemistry. Consider not killing Alexandra. The audience likes her and the audience disconnects from the story when she dies.

Ántonia was so important to Jim because of her success, that he made a point of returning to visit her. “Not only the progenitor of a large, vigorous family, she is also the source…
Maycomb, Alabama, to help understand the treatment of African Americans and society’s standards. The removed characters in film take away from the experience and fail to convey the important signs and messages. Dolphus Raymond, Link Deas, and Aunt Alexandra have very important roles in the novel, but are missing from the film. The exclusion of Dolphus Raymond takes away from the plot of the story. He is an example of a man to whom race doesn’t mean much. Dill inquired “Why’s he sittin’…
