Everybody might think she’s crazy but I think she’s a legend, from blue lipstick to glitter cannons Ke$ha has it all, but most importantly she knows how to be herself. - If there is someone that has ever done the craziest things ever imagined I think that person would most likely be Ke$ha. - Would you ever write a dollar sign in your name to symbolize how poor you once were and make a joke out of it? Most people think that if you act like something you’re not more people will like you, I love Ke$ha because she doesn’t care what people think of her and if they like her or not, she’s always herself no matter what. Everybody might think she’s crazy but I think she’s a legend, from blue lipstick to glitter cannons Ke$ha has it all, but most importantly she knows how to be herself.
Pearl is Hester’s human form of the Scarlet Letter, a constant reminder of her sin. Pearl doesn’t choose to be isolated; she has no choice. Pearl isn’t like any other child. She is very loud and outgoing. Pearl is extremely smart and thinks about things no other seven year old would think about.
Helen Keller Helen Keller has persevered throughout her lifetime. She persevered because she was able to read, write, and she also accomplished a lot for a person who was deaf and blind. For example Helen wrote over seven books and she also graduated from collage with honors. Sure Jackie Robinson broke the color barrier in baseball, but Rosa Parks stood up for her rights by not sitting in the back of the bus so that a white person could have her seat. So Jackie has done something that many people have done as well, but nobody has done anything like Helen Keller.
“Because I am a woman, I must make unusual efforts to succeed. If I fail, no one will say, ‘She doesn't have what it takes.’ They will say, ‘Women don't have what it takes.’ Clare Boothe Luce” (Quotegarden.com). Feminism is still rising today forty years after the movement, but imagine what it was like in 1960 when the Women’s liberation movement was just starting.

Although Mrs. Dubose brightened up a little when Atticus was polite. That is all of Mrs. Dubose’s screen time. Jem didn’t destroy her garden and have to read to her as punishment. It is never revealed that she was a morphine addict, and the viewer never finds out if she dies. That one short scene is the only mention of Mrs.
Johnson is less worried on what Friedman thoughts are on the social disconnection of the connected age (414). Johnson says that technology has brought us close to people who are so far away. He also thinks that Friedman’s argument has some truth to it, but doesn’t fully agree with him. In Johnson’s first example he talks about the subway system and how people would ignore each other with their newspaper or their books. Johnson also states that he “rode the bus for about 15 years before APPLE introduced the iPod.” and says nothing has changed
Like, if she was somebody then what did she do to end up on the bench of a bus station? This story honestly doesn’t change my perspective on homeless people at all. I feel that they are there because they were just being lazy and didn’t take care of whatever business that should have been taken care of to become successful. I fully understand the author’s view on the homeless, though.
Candy is presented by Steinbeck as being very observant in this passage as he says “I seen her give Slim the eye … Curley never seen it,” he shows he has the ability to see things from different angles a fact that is made possible as he is disabled. Candy is also shown to be knowledgeable but mostly judgmental as at the end of the passage he says „well, you look over her misses, and see if she ain‟t a tart,‟ this shows that he is judgmental of Curley‟s wife who he hasn‟t spoken to but has based his view upon look. Steinbeck uses the character of Candy very cleverly to convey important ideas about society at that time. The book is set in 1932 at the time of the great depression and in a time of racism. Candy is described as „stoop
She also was a active secretary for the NACCP for the Civil Rights Movement. During this time Rosa Parks was not famous, rich or powerful, but she changed America with a simple act of courage. Rosa Parks on her daily commute to work would get to transportation for the local bus. The blacks would enter the front door to pay their fare and then enter the back door to be seated. Normally blacks would be seated in the back of the bus and only time allowed to seat in the middle of the bus, if a white person didn’t want the seat.
