When Scout asked Atticus what it meant he said it in a way she couldn’t understand and also told her he didn’t want to see her in a fight ever a again. She didn’t understand why but really Atticus was teaching her how to endure the different types of persecution due to his case. Jem is mentally influenced by the verdict and Atticus’s moral/social courage . At the court he is for certain that Atticus will win the case because of all the evidence that Atticus pointed out especially about Tom’s hand .The jury had turned a blind eye to his evidence ,Jem is overwhelmed by the outcome and then realized that Maycomb is different from the way he perceived it. He then tries his very best to hold it all in like Atticus .
(Moller 545) The author lamented about the competitive nature of the students saying “everyone wanted that spot at the top of the class, and social life was rife with competition.” (Moller 545) Moller then tells of the time he snorted Ritalin given to him by a friend and that it helped him wake up and become more focused on his homework. (Moller 546) The author uses this story to show that he did what he thought was required to keep up with the other students, even though he knew it was against the rules as well as illegal. The author equates this to sports in that the negative consequence of getting caught taking drugs wasn’t as bad as failing a test, in much the same way that athletes take performance enhancers to “keep up with the Joneses” so to speak. Though I agree with William Moller that athlete’s take PED’s to keep up with each other and that we place athletes on a pedestal that we shouldn’t, I disagree that it is the public’s fault because we hold them in high esteem. For me it boils down to
Growing up as a boy now a day's boys feel that they need to hide their feelings of hurt, shame, and weaknesses. Psychologists refer to the this as a "Mask of Masculinity". Also, they say that the only feelings that society allows a boy to express are those of anger and frustration. I agree with this assumption because of the examples shown in the film and also examples in my own life. To me the only time when a boy shows the weaker feelings is when they are by themselves and there is no other boys around them.
He thought ‘kids like him’, the defendant, should be punished, because he sees his son in the 16-year-old defendant. Although he asserts, “I have no personal feelings in this case”, the audience realize this is untrue, especially in his last monologue when he shouts, “I know him”. Clearly, his personal feelings cause him to vote ’guilty’. However, when the 8th Juror reminds Juror 3,” It’s not your boy”, the 3rd Juror finally understands he was wrong not to consider there was any reasonable doubt about the evidence because of his weakness of selfishness. 3rd Juror recognize himself due to his prejudice.
The students being bullied become afraid of the bully and will try and become friends with the bully in order to keep from being bullied anymore. Which in turn the students who have become friends with the bully will now act like a bully themselves just to make sure that they don’t get bullied anymore. The bully may have been an indirect victim of domestic violence in their own home and learned this behavior as a result of their lifestyle. The Wanton typology “is particularly vulnerable to stresses that occur at a given period of time in
Analysis of Grant Wiggins and Jefferson In Ernest J. Gaines’s novel “A Lesson Before Dying,” Grant Wiggins is forced to visit Jefferson in jail to make him a man after being called a hog in court. Before Grant can help Jefferson, he must first face his own inner demons, such as his cockiness and hate towards the whites. He sees himself as superior to other people because he is more educated. Instead of using his education positively within the community and his classroom, he uses it negatively by embarrassing his students and being ignorant to his own people. I think Grant acts this way because his own teacher, Matthew Antoine, acted the same way towards him.
Whitaker, Ronell2014-10-03T14:02:00Make sure that anytime you are saying something belongs to Dean you use the possessive: “Dean’s passion” Dean’s passion for superhero saves him from becoming something terrible which is himself. Dean fears that he’ll become a child molester because he was molested, but Dean quickly gets over this phobia when he does research on molesters. Dean motivations for all this is wanting to be a better person. Even though Dean had various motivation’s for wanting to overcome his phobia there are two that standout the most to me. The first one is the fact that he was molested when he was a child.
Directly following the first encounter with a bully he turns and retaliated the only way he can think of, threatening to bomb his high school’s football team. The following year his depression and anger began to accelerate. He begins to think even more morbid and become increasingly depressed. Schools have a history of thinking that putting zero tolerance policies and having metal detectors in their entrances make the schools safer. But this causes the students to hide their feelings, and causes a lot of the bullies students to hide their increasingly depressive and angry feelings and as it already well known, people who mask their true feelings can do more harm than good.
He needed to tell the rest of the students and help them realize that the vigils can be overcome, they can be defeated, that’s what he was missing. This was key for truly going against the grain. The fight in the ending of the story was all Jerry had to do. When he fights archie, win or lose, he still is stading upfor what he baileves in and he tries to show what he will do to stop this dictorship occurring in the school. Even though Jerry lost the fight you can probably predict that if the story didn’t end where it ended then the real principal would of found out what happened with the money , brother leon, the vigils, and the chocolate sale, because of the other teacher that was there,so even though jerry lost the fight, I predict that his message came through loud and clear, and he put a stop to the
The athletes are encountered with pressure that is unfair and high demand from the public which makes the decision between right and wrong harder for them and it is why Alex took steroids once they were offered. So Moller’s argument comes down to whether or not the blame are being put on the players. But since the decision lies in the players hands, the public affects their decision almost provoking it which shifts the blame to the public. Also Moller uses a logos argument to illustrate some players that were also cheating and the extent they were willing to gain an edge. Some of them were Sammy Sosa, Johnny Damon, Pete Rose and others.
