Atticus considers her one of the bravest people he knows and he wanted Jem to see that about her. The composer has written it in a way that the responder has automatic dislike for the character, but still knows she’s a good person. In conclusion, the novel To Kill a Mockingbird has many elements of misjudgement, false facades, and bad first impressions and can relate strongly back to the theme of people aren’t what they seem to be. The saying, “don’t judge a book by its cover” is a good example of the ideology of this book, to give people a first impression, then only to have the responders understanding of that person let down because of the learnt development of that character In the

Moral Ambiguous Characters Throughout Oscar Wilde’s novel, The Picture of Dorian Gray, the moral ambiguity of the central character, Dorian Gray, becomes more and more distinct. The story starts with Dorian being venerated by the artist Basil Hallward, and throughout the story the reader learns of Gray’s several wrong doings. Meeting Lord Henry almost straight away negatively influenced Dorian. He had started out blameless and innocent, but by the conclusion had been the cause of numerous deaths, all because of his selfish wish to stay beautiful forever. “His actions show a character who insists the soul is real, but loves the gaping chasm between the beauty of his body and the corruption of his soul” [ (Wilde 105-123) ].
But in this story the bad guy is the one you pity and want to help out at the end. The story makes you believe that Tub would be the one everyone pity and he was in the beginning, but when he defended himself and shot Kenny it was definitely not like any normal fiction story. 6. What other elements of the story suggest that this is a serious, literary work rather than merely an entertaining yarn about three hapless hunters? One key element that suggest that “Hunters in the show” is a more serious literary work is the plot twist in the end.
Through the whole book I think Grace does a terrible job of covering up the murder and showing people that she didn’t do it. All her memories she has through out this book I think shows that she did but she is just trying to hide it. And she can hide it so well because Grace is just such a likeable character I mean I know she did it but there is something that almost makes
Her sickness justified taking it, but the addiction was a terrible side-effect to taking it in high doses regularly. Mrs. Dubose was a terrifically fortuitous woman, however. She didn’t want a painless death addicted; she wanted to suffer a free woman. This was in response to Jem throwing a tantrum after receiving Mrs. Dubose’s dying gift of the Snow-on-the-mountain: “‘Sh-h,’ he said, ‘I think that was her way of telling you-everything’s all right now, Jem, everything’s all right. You know, she was a great lady.’” (Lee 147).
Mrs. Turpin and Grandmother, the central characters of “Revelation” and “A good man is hard to find,” by Flannery O’Connor, are both in need of a truth check in their lives. . “As in all of O’Connor’s stories, the violent surface action only begins to suggest the depths and a complexity of meaning embedded in the story. This is especially true when considering the mystery of evil and its relation to the action of grace” (Desmond). Mrs. Turpin considers herself morally superior to others by being a “lady,” and she judges people on their appearance before she even knows them.
to kill a mocking bird “I want you to see what real courage is…Its when you know you’re licked before you begin but begin anyway and you see it through no matter what”(112). The quote comes from the semi-autobiographic novel: To Kill a Mockingbird, by Harper Lee. In the book, there are many characters that show courage in their own personal way. Atticus Finch a moral lawyer who took a case that went against a prejudice community to help an accused black man, Tom Robinson. Mrs. Dubose, morphine addicted a woman who wishes to be free of the pain killing drug.
Despite the cruel treatment from the people of Maycomb County, Atticus stood strong in his belief that every man is created equal, and therefore deserves a fair trial. He had a great impact on his children, by teaching them his beliefs. One character that shows us deep feelings of racism is Mrs.Dubose. She is an elderly woman that the Finch children, Jem and Scout, have grown to dislike because she is so mean and rude. One quote which
In this movie there are a lot of quotes which I love, but when Augustus said with an unlit cigarette hanging from his lips, “It’s a metaphor, see: You put the killing thing right between your teeth, but you don’t give it the power to do its killing.” Augustus shows that when his health is surely not the best, he associates the unlit cigarette with taking control over his health, which often feels out of his control. This novel, one of the many things it taught me is that everyone dies. Well that is command sense, but never really thought about it because of the fear of dying. There is nothing we can do to stop the process of dying, or all the side-effects of dying. Cancer and depression are just side-effects of dying.
