“A Minnesota teacher of seventh and ninth grades says that she has to spend extra time in class editing papers and must 'explicitly' remind her students that is is not acceptable to use text slang and abbreviations in writing” (Cullington 89). Also, “many complain that because texting does not stress the importance of punctuation, students are neglecting it in their formal writing” (Cullington 89).

Ericsson defines omission as “Telling most of the truth minus one or two key facts whose absence changes the story completely” (Ericsson 2), since I told my teacher I finished the project, but not that I didn’t do it correctly nor that I didn’t read a book. Everything I discussed in this essay while all different examples of lying, were still lies discussed in Stephanie Ericsson’s short essay called “The Ways We Lie”. If there’s ever any valuable knowledge within an essay that was the most knowledgeable essay I’ve ever read. It clearly states the different type of lies even lies that you’d probably never guess were lies. Works
Her maturity is proven by the end of the novel when the children lose interest in Boo Radley. Scout learns that “Most people are [real nice], when you finally see them.” and that she shouldn’t “try to understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (281, 33). These quotes are important because, over the course of the novel, these are the main lessons she learns up until the trial and afterward. However, Scout is still incredibly confused and is still trying to understand everything. The verdict of the trial is the beginning of her transformation but she does not fully become mature until closer to the end when she fully understands the reasoning behind the outcome of Tom’s

Patience states, “ ...it felt really weird to read all these things written about my father who was pretending to be someone else (120).” The particular language she uses shows her lack of understanding about the situation and her ignorance towards her father’s participation on the website. She is too young
Over the course of the story he learns that he has known no genuine hardship in his life and that occasionally having less pocket money than he would like is as nothing compared to the suffering of some of his countrymen. He is certainly treated differently than the other prisoners but more because of the money that is behind his education and social class than because of the education and social class themselves: He and his parents are able to pay for him to be better treated, allowed to bathe, and allowed to visit and eat with his family. 2. The sister has seemingly spent her life being compared unfavorably with her handsome, charismatic brother: “When my mother took us to the market, traders would call out, ‘Hey! Madam, why did you waste your fair skin on a boy and leave the girl so dark?
Atticus Finch is a well-respected man in the county of Maycomb, Alabama. He is a very smart man and always puts others before himself. Mr. Finch is a single parent of Jem and Scout Finch. He is one of the older parents in the county, so his kids do not appreciate him like they should. For example, when Scout and Jem ask Atticus to play football with them, he says no, because he’s “too old.” One of the many good deeds Atticus does in the book is when he allows Walter Cunningham to trade vegetables and goods from his farm to pay for
