can be accomplished. In the 1940’s, african americans were at a major disadvantage compared to the whites. Even though they were deemed politically equal, there was still a sense of separation between the two races. For instance, Jackie Robinson is a man who had to overcome a great deal of negativity. At first, he had to put up with being an incredibly talented baseball player who wasn’t allowed to showcase his greatness in the major leagues. Eventually, his dedication proved himself to all the…

the way she behaved was decent enough, she felt comfortable with it, and failed to see the need for changing it to fit men’s standards of being a “normal girl”, although it was clearly not her choice to make. The same happened to Ms. Maudie with the man who cursed her and her beloved flowers to hell just because from his point of view, a widow like her should not be having any sort of recreation. Even Atticus, who appeared to be perfectly sensible and impartial all the time, made this comment on…

They are actually more like a hurricane, in that while in the midst of what seems to be a hellacious and destructive disaster, the anxiety and fear before landfall as well as the aftermath, leaving a planet in ruins, are critical in understanding the entirety of the experience.

country team as much as I can. I have always been active and played sports but I did not take up running until 8th grade when I joined the track team. Since then, I have taken running seriously and have strived to be the best runner I can be. After thoroughly enjoying my first year of high school track, I knew I wanted to do cross country this year. I also knew that cross country would be a lot more running than track was, so I made it my goal during the summer to prepare for the cross country…

Some may agree with what Mouse had do say in their final conversation together. Mouse tells Easy that he has to stop thinking he is a white man because of the way he has been acting which he believed has made him soft (253). While it may seem throughout his investigation that Easy has been acting as a white man due to his unwillingness to fight or commit violence.

I stood up ignoring my pain and continued the long, arduous run. Struggle periods…
