Powell v. Alabama

In To Kill A Mockingbird, Arthur “Boo” Radley is a man who stayed at home all the time. Since he stayed at home, people made up rumors about him. Jem, for instance, told Scout and Dill that Boo is six-and-a-half feet tall, he would dine on raw squirrels and any cats he could catch. There is a long jagged scar that ran across his face; his white teeth turned into yellow and rotten. For the people in Maycomb, they made up rumors saying that when he was young, Boo and his friends was in the wrong…

I am reading To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. The book is about Tom Robinson being tried for the rape of Mayella Ewell. Even though we have proof that the rape never actually happened, Tom is still found guilty. Mayellas father Bob Ewell later dies, following the death of Tom Robinson.

A person can never really get to truly understand someone until they walk in the other person’s…

The destruction of innocence is a huge topic in Harper Lee’s novel To Kill a Mockingbird, the collage that I made portrays the book's theme immensely, while also showing the mistakes of small town civilians and the hushing of diversity within them.

Although Atticus had a rifle, he's an elder guy, his…

As alternatives to riding buses, boycotters organized a system of carpools; some people got around cycling, walking, riding mules, hitchhiking or driving horse-drawn buggies. Additionally, black taxi drivers charged ten cents per ride, a fare equal to the cost to ride the bus, in support of the boycott. As a result of the boycott, an Alabama district court ruled that the…

The speaker in this address to the New York Association for the Blind is Helen Keller. This speech took place on January 15, 1907. The speech, Helen Keller gave, was about the blind people consequently showing them that they can be strong and not be apart of the weak and poor.

Helen starts out by saying that a blind man’s community plays the biggest role in his success or…

My Access #2 There could be a lot of meanings to the quote by Colin Wilson. There could be different experiences, and also some different views on what the quote is trying to tell us. Many people might not understand the quote because they don’t know what it’s like to actually come back from failure because they had everything given to them. What I get from the quote by Colin Wilson is that average humans are used to being in some bad situations because they don’t want to try their hardest. I…

Harper Lee was born in Alabama in 1926. She was the youngest of four and considered herself a tomboy (similar to Scout).

In her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the social and gender inequalities are the main issues. Lee approaches…

A day was twenty-four hours long but seemed longer. There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go, nothing to buy and no money to buy it with, nothing to see outside the boundaries of Maycomb County.” Selling over forty million copies, Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird influenced society in a way that was least expected. For Jem and Scout’s aunt, Alexandra, did not have an active role from the movie whereas she was a significant character to the novel. However, the film did not fully display…
