On November 17th, I visited the well-known Ships of the Sea Museum sited in downtown Savannah. The Ships of the Sea Museum is a historical Museum that shares the history of historical ships during maritime. The Museum is located inside William Scarbrough’s House whom was President of the Savannah Steamship Company. The house was built by William Jay 1819; the building served as the West Broad Street School for African American children and later as the headquarters for the Historic Savannah…

Journal #2 I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee and I am on page 42. So far the book is about Jem and Scout are the two kids of the lawyer Atticus Finch who keep getting into trouble. Also, Boo Radley has been locked up for the last fifteen years, and everyone being afraid of the Radley place from his action. In this journal I will be predicting and evaluating. G-I predict the kids will not meet Boo Y-He has not been seen R-He is locked up R-Contact within the house…

describes Dill’s fascination of the Radley Place, she explains the residency based on the community’s rumours. Scout states, “Inside the house lived a malevolent phantom [...] People said he went out at night when the moon was down [...] When people’s azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he had breathed on them” (Lee 9). Scout’s negative diction of ‘froze in a cold snap’ creates a dark imagery of Boo, indicating to readers that he is portrayed as a violent person. Furthermore, the…

Once Bo is not seen by Maycomb County for years, the locals begin to tell myths about him, like is “he went out when the moon was high, and peeped in windows. When people’s azaleas froze in a cold snap, it was because he had breathed on them,” (Lee, 9). This nonsense entices the Finch children to get a glimpse of Boo, however they do not release he was always watching them. As he was the one that covered Scout with a blanket…

Introduction The question of the research project is “Does an NBA player’s social media behaviour influence people’s opinions?” This question refers to NBA players posting on social media and how it influences fans, other NBA players, the public or the world’s opinion about them as individual NBA players. Finding the information for this question was not easy, but it was manageable. Majority of the information found for the research topic was by researching on popular sports websites (Bleacher…

changes will ensue. As per example with Miss Maudie written by Lee, “Miss Maudie looked around, and the shadow of her old grin crossed her face. “Always wanted a smaller house, Jem Finch. Gives me more yard. Just think, I’ll have more room for my azaleas now!” (page 97). Persistence is greatly shown within the following pages, and it’s done for the fact that if one endures the troubles that comes with trying to create a drastic change in a very static environment. In this novel, you can see many…

Adversity is a state of continued difficulty or hardship that a person may experience. Both “A Time To Kill” directed by Joel Schmaucher and “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee present characters that face adversity and have different methods of dealing with the situation they face. Some submit to adversity, like Lucien Wilbanks and Arthur ‘Boo’ Radley. Others respond using societies provided systems, such as the law, like Jake Brigance and Tom Robinson do. Non-violent resistance is used by…

For example, in Nantucket native Meghan Trainor’s song “NO” she is heard leaving off the “t” in “but” and replaces the “th” in “there” with a D. Yet in her interviews, she loses her blaccent (Wallace). Australian rap artist Iggy Azalea goes as far as adopting both the vernacular, cadence, and grammar of B.E. in her music, but speaks in her native and very thick Australian accent outside of the confines of her music. She has been under a lot of scrutiny for this by fellow hip-hop…

to herself but looks on the bright side of things rather than mourning over something that she cannot change. Lee effectively symbolises the inspiring role of Miss Maudie and emphasises how buoyant she is. “Just think, I’ll have more room for my azaleas now !” Miss Maudie is even staying positive about her plants, despite that gardening is a big part of her life. Lee…
