Everyone should know the 1883 classic book “Pinocchio”. Later adapted into a movie in the 1940s, Pinocchio follows the story of Geppetto, a woodworker who upon seeing a falling star, wishes the puppet creation he had made would become a “real boy”. As the night fell and hours went by, the “blue fairy” grants Geppetto's wish and assigns an anthropomorphic cricket otherwise known as Jiminy Cricket, to be his conscience, the job of helping Pinocchio learn right from wrong weighing on his shoulders.…

During this week I saw an episode of The life of the Birds presented by David Attenborough in which he showed the way which some birds have for catching the attention of a possible couple. Amongst all of them, he showed the lyrebird which seems to have more than 300 different sounds for that, and amongst those sounds there was one that sounded like the alarm of a car and other that sounded like a pneumatic drill, those which are utilized to break streets, all that while deployed the feathers of…

A mockingbird does not harm anybody without reason; all they do is sing their hearts out for us. Harper lee uses the symbol of a mockingbird as two very similar characters to portray the meaning and significance of the symbol of innocence. Much like a Mockingbird, boo Radley stays in the quiet comfort of his house not bothering anyone. However, Boo Radley really emphasized the innocent protection part of a mockingbird in the scene where he saves Jem and Scout from being attacked by Bob Ewell, “.…

The Troubles began because Northern Ireland was divided between the Protestant unionists and the Roman Catholic nationalists. The unionists wanted to remain part of United Kingdom while the nationalists wanted to join the Republic of Ireland. The Catholic in Ireland felt discriminated against by the Protestant majority who made up most of parliament. The conflict began in 1968 and ended in 1998. First, Irish people rioted against British rule, and eventually parted from them creating the…

Similar to shooting a mockingbird, there were a multitude of innocent people that were persecuted in the novel for being different, At the beginning of the novel, when Atticus gave Jem and Scout air rifles, he explained to them why they could not shoot at mockingbirds. Evident from the previous quote, a mockingbird does nothing but valuable qualities and so there is no justification whatsoever for harming a mockingbird. In the novel, mockingbirds, in essence, represented the best part best part…

From the very beginning, California has been a place associated with uniqueness and great diversity. It has been said that within the confines of California can be found much of the best and worst of all forty-nine other states combined. Large scale migration has greatly contributed to the phenomenon, as has the diverse climate of the state. Consequently, it is safe to say that California has something to offer to every single person. What makes California so different from the rest of the…

to enhance a metaphorical relationship between Ireland and England A highly stylized element of Seamus Heaney’s poems is to never explicitly discuss political issues, but rather to allude to the past to understand the present. As a native from Northern Ireland, politics did, however, affect Heaney’s life inexorably as it did with many in the political and sectarian strife between Irish nationalists and British unionists during The Troubles in the 1970s. Though tension between the two sides did…

In 1835 there were around 4,000,000 Irish speakers, in 1891 – 680,000 (Gaeilge.org). The major culprit was the Great Famine. The areas with the largest percentage of Irish speakers were rural and economically undeveloped and therefore were affected the most by the Famine. It also caused mass emigration to the USA, which necessitated the learning of English. It is…

To Kill A Mockingbird. Something I like to say at times is “Don't judge a book by its cover, Judge a book by whats on its pages.” throughout the book “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee The characters Scout and Jem learn some very valuable lessons. One of the things they learned about within the book and movie is people being prejudice towards the innocent. Scout and Jem also learned what it means to be courageous and to help others not only yourself. Scout and Jem become introduced to…
