1. Character: This book helped me get to know it’s character like I never imagined. Scout was a very intelligent girl who always knew what she was doing. Jem started out as a young and crazy kid but later in the book he mature and mellowed out. Atticus was the best father you could ask for because he listened to both sides of the story every time and punished you when necessarily. Dill was your average over anxious kid. He loved to wonder about things, especially Boo Radley. Calpurnia was a…

“A faith you have suffered for becomes more precious. The more the Crow Dogs and other traditional families were persecuted for their beliefs, the more stubbornly they held on to them” (Crow Dog 105). This quote, from Native-American woman Mary Crow Dog in her autobiography Lakota Woman, describes the desire that Native people had to hold onto their beliefs until a time where it was safe to live them. In the 1950’s, 60’s, and 70’s, Native Americans and other social groups fought for their rights…

I do not agree with Hellen Keller’s statement. Keller makes many valid and agreeable points in her statement, but the statement is invalid in the current world. The first main reason I disagree is because some of the world’s most influential promoters of peace have been men. Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi, and Martin Luther King Jr. just to name a few.

long nails, his taste for sugar, and his suggestion to become more friendly with the children. Father Flynn speaks of intolerance during his sermon after Sister Aloysius rejects the idea of the children singing “Frosty the Snowman” for the Christmas pageant. Sister Aloysius proves herself to be unrelenting and intolerant, ‘“Frosty the Snowman’ espouses a pagan belief in magic” (Shanley 29). The event that presents the most substantial evidence proving Father Flynn’s innocence occurs at the end…

Sex is all around us starting with the actually act itself, commercial advertising, and beauty pageants. I learned so much about sexual education from taking this course. I learned to accept and be opened minded to others sexual preferences and desires. To never judge people for only they and God know what transgressions have they gone though. As said…

Hop-Frog because he does not speak highly of himself in physical characteristics. The narrator does, however, speak of Hop-Frog highly when talking about how essential he is. He states, “Hop-Frog, in especial, was so inventive in the way of getting up pageants, suggesting novel characters, and arranging costume, for masked balls, that nothing could be done, it seems, without his assistance” (Poe 503). From this evidence, the audience is able to predict that the narrator is Hop-Frog because he…

Redstockings was a radical feminist movement started in the 1960s. In their proclamation, “Redstockings Manifesto,” women of the Redstockings movement call for women to realize and fight against the oppression of their class, and call on men to assist them in not only making men and women equal, but also releasing women from the male’s control. To begin, the Redstockings indicate that the oppression of women is not only present in the areas of employment and politics. Women are only viewed as…
