Miss Maudie Aunt Alex
1,620 words
The Maycomb ladies provide an excellent example of
racial prejudice, and a failure to see what it is
like in someone elses skin. They believe they are
doing well by making money for missions, failing
to see the hardship on their own doorsteps. Aunt
Alexandra is very important to the novel, To Kill
a Mockingbird, as she is a representative of these
viewpoints, disapproving of Calpurnia and
disassociating herself from the black community
entirely. Miss Maudie however is the counterpoint
to Aunt Al...

WARNING: This is a Speech! Please feel free to use
this as you choose if the opportunity arises.
Ladies and Gentlemen: What person in their right
mind could even reflect on literature as being
dead? Certainly not I! Could you imagine a world
without books, or plays? Could you imagine a world
without words, knowledge or religion? I truthfully
cant! Nor should you! So you see, I have already
won my argument. But, it would be wrong of me not
to justify my words. Literature is everywhere.

which it is written. This is very much true in the
case of the poetry of the Augustan Period.
Alexander Pope is the gem of the Augustan Age.

writer but also as a creative artist. The man who
created the fine filigree work The Rape Of The
Lock- out of a trivial tempest in the teacup
cannot be denied the status of a creative artist.

shows the relationship of two characters, Mrs.
Ansley and Mrs. Slade, in the short story Roman
Fever. These two women who are supposed to be
friends, led envious lives of each other, and
because of the way they lived they were very

King Arthurs Court Gawain And The Green Knight
2,235 words
Sir Gawain And The Green Knight I believe that the
color imagery in Sir Gawain And The Green Knight
represents nature, as a force that man has little
control over. This is evident during the journey
of Sir Gawain, and later, his shame in front of
King Arthurs court. Nature does as it will in ways
that can not be controlled by man. The best they
can do is to acknowledge the fact that it is
happening. They had no control whatsoever, and
therefore, were subject to its, at times,
ferocity. This is s...

Values Taught Older Person Hand

Values taught to use during our childhood plays an
important part in our characters. These values are
instilled in use by our parents, guardians,
teachers and many more. The values taught are
hardly ever questioned and even if one does, they
still end up doing what they were asked to do.

for dogs. Dogs don? t have intellect to understand

this novel by Mary Shelley, the reader can see the
differences in the Victorian education which each
sex is privileged to. The novel also clearly
presents the main character, Frankenstein, as the
most classically educated character in the novel
and displays the struggles he copes with because

Good evening Headmaster, special guests, parents

the world is full of apathy; full of egocentricity
