in the 1930’s Charles R. Swindoll said: “Prejudice is a learned trait. You 're not born prejudiced; you 're taught it.” Swindoll was right. A perfect example of racial prejudice is “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee. The white people of Maycomb County have a prejudice bred into them. The Finch family, however, has a different mind set. Atticus doesn’t teach Jem and Scout to be hateful towards the black community. He teaches them that regardless of skin color, all humans are equal. “You never…

One, they do not have the money and two, there are not many free clinics available close by for these women to get their problems checked. In Ohio, there are 88 counties and only 43 clinics, and most of them are for families or children (Clinic Resources, Ohio Association of Free Clinics). Women clinics are limited. The limited number of clinics for women is a struggle for many because they are restricted from going…

Another reason for Atticus to defend Tom Robinson is to set an example of…

Introduction: What I Know, Assume, or Imagine Less than two years after my family moved to St. Joseph in 2004, my mom headed out for an evening spent shopping at the Orchards Mall. Before she walked out of JCPenney, she made a phone call to my dad, asking if him if he wanted her to pick up some food. The phone snapped shut and out of the door she went. Out of nowhere, she was met by two teenage boys and a gun. “Lie down and give us your money and keys,” they screamed. Fearful for her life, she…

if people cannot obtain success in these different realms, they are often depicted in literature and in reality as being a failure. In Brian Reed’s podcast, “S-Town”, he is lured into Bibb county, Alabama after hearing rumors of police corruption and a murder cover-up. However, after his first visit to Bibb county had concluded, Brian’s motivation for carrying on this project was the person who had initially alerted him of the suspected murder, John B. McLemore. From the start,…

depression reversed many of the gains. In 1881, the fledgling city stood at the threshold of a surge in population, industry, and wealth.14 The family’s oral history speculates that Charley followed the St. Croix River south from Duluth to Chisago County.15 This is highly unlikely, since it required an approximately forty mile detour into Wisconsin to reach the source of the river. Charley likely used the railroad, either as a passenger or as a physical guide to direct him to his…

I was shocked to find that its off-white walls, studded with reinforced-steel doors, were oddly filled with children: a stark contrast to the stern prison guards and orange-jumpsuit-wearing prisoners of my imagination. Those bright-eyes were here every Sunday from 11-12 to visit their incarcerated parent: a whole week of riveting experiences were condensed into one measly…
