The plain-bellied Sneetches were not free to have picnics at the beaches, because they were not allowed to attend the star-bellied Sneetches party’s. The star-bellied Sneetches felt that they were supreme to the plan bellied, and would not allow plain bellied Sneetches to be invited to any of their activities. This relates to the racial prejudice endured in “Do the Right Thing” and “To Kill a Mockingbird.” In both the blacks were seen as lesser and not trustworthy. The plain-bellied Sneetches…

is Montag, “’They didn’t show the man’s face in focus. Did you notice? Even your best friends couldn’t tell if it was you. They scrambled it just enough to let the imagination take over. Hell,’ he whispered. ‘Hell’” (Bradbury 143). Granger, at the hobo camp, explains to Montag how and why the press did this. The show must go on. Instead of doing what they would consider the right thing, they chose to do what they knew would keep the consumer involved and keep their power intact. In today’s age,…

Guy Montag, the main character in the book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury, was a man lacking in any sense of worry or care in the world. In Fahrenheit 451, that is the way to live in society in which they are oblivious of the power the government has over their lives. His occupation is to be a firefighter, which ironically, is to ignite fires instead of extinguishing them. The reason is that within their society they are not allowed to read books because the government fears that knowledge in…

have a lawyer, nor an unbiased jury present for their convictions. Legally, convicts are given a lawyer to help plead their case in court, no matter if they can afford one or not. In Jack London’s court trial, “fifteen seconds and thirty days to each hobo. The machine of justice was grinding smoothly” (London 40). Each criminal in the court room received the same sentence in the same amount of time without the chance of pleading their case. Jack London was appalled at how the judicial system was…

The Power of Treasure “Treasure”. It may seem like a simple word but it's not. This word can mean and be so many things for different people. For example, treasure can be a physical thing, or it can come from within, and can even take place in those around you. The short story called “The Treasure of Lemon Brown” written by Walter Dean Myers, shows that inner treasure is the most important type of treasure and is worth fighting for. With the help of a surprising new acquaintance, a young boy…

Jake Parson’s mother called it the magic hour: the moment when a day passes into evening, when the earth feels suspended before darkness and slumber. In the gold and reddening light, an easy southwest breeze propelled Jake’s thirty-five-foot sailboat through the Beaufort Inlet for the first time. As he navigated through the channel, he heard the cries of distant seagulls. It was the first land animal he’d heard in days. The last low rays of the sun illuminated the white church steeple and the…

scholarship as well, but he found out he had a heart condition and couldn’t play. Scouts saw Nathan and Lucas play in their high school games and they recruited them. Later on in the show, Nathan began to play for the NBA and Lucas became a high school basketball coach. Another way One Tree Hill displays a positive effect is scholarships. College is expensive and hard to get in to. With a scholarship, they can get into college for less money and play the sport the love for even longer. After…

The five group meetings before the hike were meant to help us prepare to work together to complete the hike. During these meetings all of our group members got along together fine. We were not a cohesive group yet but we did not have any big problems that arose. The activities helped with creating group cohesiveness to prepare us for the hike. Doing the small activities gave us a common goal to work on together to prepare us for the main activity, the hike. Based on how the group activities went…
