than others; we have some we absolutely hate, and
some we dont mind. A common household chore I hate
is cleaning up and doing the dishes after supper.
Although my sister Emily and I rotate this harsh
act every other night I am always trying to
finagle her into doing it for me. To me doing the
dishes is a form of punishment that no one should

Integrity In To Kill A Mockingbird

society. By using a 1930 s Southern point-of-view,
Harper Lee demonstrates that integrity not only
has the power to unite humankind, but to divide
humankind as well. The setting of To Kill a
Mockingbird, in a sma...

settings: The waiting room and the pig parlor. The

crucial to understanding the underlying meaning of
the story. In Revelation, Flannery OConnor uses
