W.B. Yeats’ Opinion of War W.B. Yeats was an Irish poet during the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. He wrote following the belief of “spiritus mundi”, the spirit of the universe and the collective unconscious or memory, which influences him to write around different mythologies, despite being a Christian. “Spiritus Mundi” leads to two of the works that reflect his opinion regarding war and conquest. Through these two works, “Leda and the Swan” and “The Second Coming,” Yeats’ opinion of war as a…

Honor is given to those who follow the domain’s moral cowardice, the conspicuous, howbeit, have lost all honor by those who are followers. One of the most prominent themes in To Kill a Mockingbird is lost honor. Honor means to have high respect and Mr. Dolphus Raymond lost his respect when he professed to love a colored woman, have mixed children with her, and chose to be surrounded by those who don’t share the same skin color as him. “He’s got a colored woman and all sorts of mixed chillun”…

I believe the meaning of the title “To Kill a Mockingbird” is more like a title “To kill something innocent” with a mockingbird being an innocent person. I believe this is the meaning of the title because the theme of the book centers around innocence and unfairness in the world. Multiple scenes in this book focus on Scout Finch, who as a child, is still innocent and thinks and describes moments as unfair due to them being unfair. She is the only one that still clearly sees this due to her young…

The poem, “The Ballad of Birmingham” and the article, “When School Was Scary” Both share the same theme which is overcoming obstacles. Although they both share the same theme, they show it differently. “The Ballad of Birmingham” Is about a poor mother’s child that died in the bomb of Birmingham, and “When School Wa Scary” Is about an African American girl named Elizabeth going into a white school during segregation. In the article “When School Was Scary” the author shows the reader that…

Throughout his short story “A Little Cloud,” James Joyce considers the ramifications of remaining sedentary in Dublin through his characters Little Chandler and Ignatius Gallaher. That Little Chandler and Gallaher seem so antithetical, despite their proximity and similar upbringings, invites the reader to question whether Joyce intends to insinuate that success is only possible outside of Dublin, and that ambition and Celtic nationalism are incongruous. Having left Ireland at twenty years old,…

To say someone is a mockingbird is like saying they are the perfect person. For someone to be a mockingbird they always find the good in people and they hurt nobody, yet they often have bad things happen to them. The book To Kill A Mockingbird shows how people are mockingbirds, yet they have bad things happen to them. Atticus Finch is a mockingbird, as is Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. All these men do good things, and they never harm anyone. These men did what they thought was right, and they…

Ever wondered about how Jem’s morality, and identity changed? Well, in the book To Kill a Mockingbird influenced Jem to change his ability to judge right from wrong, and how to be a Southern Gentleman. These are connected because both talk about Jem and his morality. Jem is Scout’s (the main character) brother. They all live in Maycomb County. Jem realizes about the power of racism and how it plays a big role in Maycomb, and in African-Americans lives. It also changes how people see themselves,…

Mockingbirds do not do anything but good so why kill one? What bad do mockingbirds do? The symbol of the the mockingbird means innocent people that never harm anyone. It is also a sin to kill a mockingbird because of them doing no harm. In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the three characters Atticus Finch, Tom Robinson, and Arthur “Boo” Radley represent mockingbirds by only doing good, never doing bad although they got into some situations where they could have. Mockingbird represent things…

I believe the song titled Just the Way You Are relates to the inner conflict in To Kill A Mockingbird. The inner conflict is when Atticus gets appointed to defend Tom Robinson in court and Atticus chooses to defend him willingly, and Scout in the beginning thinks very lightly on the situation and she doesn’t quite understand why Atticus is defending a colored person, she later realizes what Atticus is doing is right and she would like him to stay the way he is since he’s a great father. This…

To Kill A Mockingbird is a book that is placed in the 1930s which is in a little town where Atticus Finch lives. Atticus Finch had gotten inform that he had to defend Tom Robson which is a African American which was accused of rapping a white girl.

Atticus is a person that…
