Tate

1. I think that it would be appropriate to integrate a child such as Fred Tate with other children of his age group in some social activities (such as playing baseball, soccer, children’s games, etc.) especially for the purpose of learning to be able to relate to his peers. However, I feel that it is essential for parents to locate other families of highly gifted children so they can share their experiences and develop a sense of community. The community support can help with finding appropriate…

In chapter five of The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, the quote from The Origin of Species talks about how there is no explanation for the reasons behind inheritance. There has been no explanation for why a child might get one characteristic from one parent, and a certain one from the other. No scientist has been able to pinpoint why a child might get traits from an aunt, or an uncle. Charles Darwin writes about how children often inherit characteristics from their grandfather as well. This…

Good day, Sir, I said good day!!!!!!! The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate is a book that has meant a lot to me. The best part of the book is the characters. I relate to Calpurnia, being so curious and not knowing what to do about it. Callie lives a life where she has no control and while my situation is not as extreme as her’s we have all felt that feeling of helplessness. In today’s world, it can be easy to forget about feminism, to push feminists off as a bunch of man-haters, but Calpurnia…

In 2001, a fourteen-year-old juvenile by the name of Lionel Tate was charged as an adult with murder in the first degree. In relation to the Criminal Justice System, multiple articles and other numerous sources, such as Michael J. Dale (2004), state that Lionel Tate “was considered the youngest person in the United State to have ever been given the sentence of life in prison without the possibility of parole.” At the age of 12, Lionel Tate murdered a little 6-year-old Tiffany Eunick in Pembroke…

Mockingbird”, Sheriff Heck Tate is being used by Harper Lee as a proxy demonstrating the changing attitudes of Maycomb towards its disadvantaged members. Sheriff Heck Tate would have been elected into his position, which shows that he is aligned with their values. During the trial against Tom Robinson, many of the community members openly express their hate for Tom. Before the trial, they even go as far as trying to lynch Atticus, just for trying to defend him. Heck Tate shows that he (a…

"The Origin of Species" and the "The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate" have a special relationship. Charles Darwin’s book opens up each chapter of Calpurnia Tate. For example Chapter 23 “The Fentress Fair”. “How fleeting are the wishes and efforts of man! How short his time! And consequently how poor will his products be, compared with those accumulated by nature. That means that man needs to enjoy life for what it is. Even with all the mistakes man needs to learn to accept that. Because man is not…

The Destructiveness of Jealousy and Greediness What made Othello, written by William Shakespeare in the 17th century, popular is that the play dealt with sensible topics as racism and race. The protagonist of the play is a dark skinned foreigner, surrounded by white characters. Othello’s race makes him sensible for criticism of the people around him, because he knows that he will always be the weaker ‘species’. But what is shown in this play is that it is not his race that will be his downfall.…

In Jacqueline Kelly’s book The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate, the author quotes Charles Darwin’s The Origin of Species at the beginning of each chapter. The quote above is from Chapter 14, “The Short Hoe.” In choosing this quote Kelly references Darwin’s pragmatic view of nature, in which animals or creatures likely do not care about what they look like, except to the extent that their form serves function or purpose. For example,, animals may look like their surroundings so that they are hard…
