Jem And Scout Kill A Mockingbird
2,093 words
Courage Harper Lee based many characters from her
Pulitzer Prize winning novel, To Kill a
Mockingbird, on important people in her own life.
Her father, a southern lawyer, served as a model
for Atticus Finch. Her older sister shared many of
the same reclusive qualities as Boo Radley. It can
be understood that these people in Lee s life were
only foundations for the characters in To Kill a
Mockingbird in view of the abundance of
courageousness found in the novel. It would be
very difficult to conc...

19 Th Century England Things In Life

Pip discovers during the course of the novel, what
are the really important things in life. I agree
with this phrase because at the end of the novel
Pip is a true example of a real gentleman, someone
who knows themselves and the truth. Someone who
doesn t live life in a world of fantasy and
accepts things and people for what they really
are. Someone who is honest, justice and loyal. To
become this he goes through a lot and realises the
important things in life. Pip s innocence at the

Doesn T Make Makes Editha Mother

Feminism in American Short Stories Editha, by
William Dean Howells and The Revolt of Mother, by
Mary E. Wilkins Freeman, present essentially the
same type of character in two very distinct
manners. Howells depicts Editha as a selfish and
spoiled lady, while Freeman describes mother as a
strong-willed person who simply does things when
they need to be done. Howells gives the reader the
impression that Editha is a very harsh and abrupt
woman who totally disregards the feelings of
others. When she ...

Bonnie And Clyde Tom

Throughout motion picture history, women have
experienced more transition in their roles, as a
result of changing societal norms, than any other
class. At first, both society and the movie
industry preached that women should be dependent
on men and remain in the home, in order to
guarantee stability in the community and the
family. As time passed and attitudes changed,
women were beginning to be depicted as strong
willed, independent minded characters, who were
eager to break away from conventio...

The opening scene of this film has slow piano solo
music playing, with white Credits on a black
background to show that the film is serious. It is
actually a drama documentary, which means that as
well as being dramatic the film is also factual.

Shakespeare Macbeth Fair Is Foul
1,035 words
Does the statement Fair is foul, and foul is fair
thoroughly expresses the many themes of
Shakespeare? s? Macbeth? ? The first time we hear
the statement is very early in the play when the
witches say the exact line Fair is foul, and foul
is fair only for Macbeth himself to repeat it very
closely two scenes later. This repetition of the
lines shows me that the characters themselves
believe that there are many foul events taking
place. In this essay I will endeavour to prove
that the above statem...

Treasure Island Side

Character of Interest My favorite character in
Treasure Island is captain Long John Silver. This
character really stood out to me. The reason being
that he was a very respected and or feared pirate
among everyone that knew him. He had a very
complex personality, at first he seemed to be the
kindest person is the whole book, but later he
really reveals what he is capable of and you soon
learn it is really a act. Long John Silver is a
very hard man to understand. It? s very hard to
