“You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” (pg. 30) is one of the lessons learned. No one in Maycomb puts themselves in Boo’s shoes, so they don’t understand his suffering. People don’t see his true intelligence that was ruined by his cruel father; this makes Boo one of our most important mockingbirds. I see behavior like this everyday, as I walk down the high school halls, into the lunchroom, even just kids hanging out in town – there is always some one judging someone.
He doesn’t talk anywhere in the song about having to work for a relationship with his “trap queen”, but instead it is almost a given that he can get whoever he wants due to his financial stance. He talks about doing normal things with her such as cooking pies, and riding around with her in his car, but spends an abnormal amount of money on her without her even having to ask. It says in the song, “she aint wantin’ for nothin’ because I got her everything”. In essence, because of all the things that he does for her, she in turn pole dances for him and pleasures him in a physical sense. The end of the song shows his arrogance when he says he can walk in a house and have sex with anyone’s girl.
He talked about meeting three young boys; the first boy was always hungry and there was distance in his eyes. He went to a school that was 99% black and Latino, it is now 100% black and Latino. Jonathan went and bought him corn flakes and they’d just sit down and eat them. However when the boy was 14 he killed himself by an overdose of heroine. The second boy he talked about was brief and to the point, he committed suicide by shooting himself.
After believing that his race is inferior for so long, Mike Pedro has finally discovered that being Filipino is not so bad after all. Ever since his friends mocked him at school for packing “Asian” food for lunch, he started feeling insecure about his ethnicity and even his own identity. Who is he, really? That is the question he asked himself every day from then on. The thoughts of his friends degrading him for eating “Asian” food for lunch dwelled in his subconscious for months, or perhaps even years.
Leaving school one day, Luis realized he had left behind his paper lunch bag, a precious commodity in 1946, given the paper shortages and the family’s poverty. When he returned to get it, however, he found his teacher had torn it up. She was using it to make papier-mâché animal masks for the school play. Luis was amazed by the transformation. Although he did not even know what a play was at the time, he decided to audition and was given the leading role as a monkey.
It was hard for Milton to get started ad he did fail trying to sell candy for the first time. Still, he did not give up. Milton worked hard to invent mouth-watering new recipes and expand his factory. He created work for people who needed jobs and schools for orphan boys and girls. He was able to help the soldiers during World War II which means, chocolate goes to war.
The boy scouts main goal was to sell one dollar chocolate bars so instead of beginning with his main goal he starts off with a high distasteful request and tries to sell five dollar annual boy scouts circus. Cialdini ultimately rejects his five dollar first request and conceives to his second, but main one dollar request, because it seems like a mutual concession. The rejection then retreat model to me is one of the biggest psychological games implemented in the reciprocal rule. It works the same even when you are shopping for example you walk into a store and see a bookshelf on clearance for one hundred dollars then you happen to notice a mark on the side as you are at the register. Then make a fuss and decide you don’t want to buy it, but then they offer it for fifty dollars instead and you gladly oblige.
When Mr. Jones walked by the gumball machine he had his twins who both wanted the same color gumball but it doesn’t matter which color. There were four gumball colors red, white, blue, and green. What is the highest amount of money that Mr. Jones can spend to get two of the same color gumballs? The answer I got was five cents because if he got one of each color spending four cents he would only need to spend one more penny. In my next question, there is Octomom with eight kids and two colors of gumballs (red, white).
Paul was sent to “talk to someone” every afternoon after school. Paul stayed there for supper and went over to play with the children when he didn’t have time to talk to the doctor. Ben once tried to frighten Paul playfully, although Paul was scared to death. Harriet once again threatened Ben that if he does portray violent actions that he would be send to the institution. One day John decided to go away from home with his “crew” and not intentionally, but leave Ben by himself.
The short story is about an old fellow, who comes to the plum pudding store once a week. The problem is that the man does not buy any plum puddings, but he samples them. Therefore he gets the plum puddings for free and actually steals from the store (– definition as a thief). We see the story through the woman’s eyes, therefore the shop girl has the prejudice that the man is poor and cannot afford the product. Even though the man was neatly dressed, she still has the prejudice that he is poor.
