The word “sensation” also suggests that her feelings are instinctive and can't be helped. This shows her feelings negatively as he dampens her and could be a symbol for society as that too, continues to hold her back. Another way Lee presents Scout's negative feelings of Aunt Alexandra is by using the quotation: “ Aunty had continued to isolate me long after Jem and Francis had graduated to the big table.” This suggests that although Jem and Scout should be equal in her Aunt's eyes, it is clear that Jem is favoured as he is the traditional view of a boy in that society. The phrase “isolate” implies that Scout is seen as different and is punished for it, as she isn't the idealistic image in her Aunt's eyes. Moreover, Scout could represent the inequality of women in the 1930's as both Jem and Francis are males and Scout has been separated just because of her gender even though her Aunty is also female.
Parents’ influences on children can either be good or bad, which depends on how they treat and teach their children. As a father to Jem and Scout, Atticus needed to show a good example for his children to follow. Scout was well-known for her fist fight even though she was a girl. Atticus told Scout to stop fighting and act like a mature, grown-up woman or else he would wring her out. Scout tried to resist her father but since Atticus was a well-respected man to both his peers and families, Scout followed his orders.
Frost could have done this because he is trying to portray man-made objects and industry in a negative way. It also highlights the conflict between the industry and nature, as well as culture, as the boy is forced to grow up too quickly, which goes against. Frost also uses caesura to signify a turning point in the poem, like when the boy’s sister tells “them ‘Supper’. At the word, the saw, as if to prove saws knew what supper meant”. This is a significant turning point in the narrative, as afterwards, the boy loses control of the saw, which ends up hitting his hand.
One archetype of personification used is Martyn’s encounter with his Aunty Jean after his dad’s bereavement. Brooks uses the quote; “I could tell it was Aunty Jean by the tone of the bell. It sounded terrified.” The personification used suggests to the reader that even inanimate objects are discouraged by her, or fearful of her, by the use of the word ‘terrified’, this also reflects the similar emotions and physical feelings between Martyn and his aunt, which we can tell by the way Brooks creates this concept of Martyn resenting being part of the Pig family in earlier stages of the novel, are not of a good disposition. Another example of imagery in the novel is the metaphor used on page 50, upon which Martyn thinks back to a quote he remembers from the late Albert Einstein, which conjures up this idea of ‘the invisible piper’ and how we cannot control the unravelling of a chain of events. Martyn then goes on to say; “The invisible piper on this occasion was the postman.” I think in this case, we see a hint of Martyn’s relationship with himself, as regularly through the novel, he tends to
Being pegged a tom-boy from the beginning, readers see this in her willingness to fight any boy that comes along or even any adult that questions her. Part of her courage though comes from being naive . She doesn't always know or understand the danger around her.In chapter 2, Scout represents the voice of reason from the children to their new teacher Miss Caroline.

She treats this man like a child.
Thrust into the real world with our confidence almost permanently shattered, we are expected to be successful and important when prior to that we were always told the opposite. Bullying harms us not only in our youth, but for the rest of our lives. In the poem “To This Day” by Shane Koyczan, we hear the story of children who have faced the effects of being bullied. A little girl for something as foolish as a birthmark on her face and a boy for thinking pork chops and karate chops were the same. Age did not change the words that cut through that poor little girl.
I can relate to Scout in this manner, because I I too am protective over my family, but not as aggressive as Scout. Atticus is called a disgrace and "nigger-lover" a number of times by a number of people. One day in the schoolyard, Cecil Jacobs tells Scout that his family says Atticus is a disgrace and that Tom Robinson should hang from the water-tank (pg 102). This got Scout upset, but it was the only time she walked away form a fight because influenced by Atticus, he told her not to fight anymore and she knew if she did he would wear her out. On Christmas day Scout, Jem, and Atticus visit the Finch's Landing.
2. Scout gets into three altercations One: Scout usually gets along well with her Uncle Jack, but when he arrives in Maycomb, she begins cursing in front of him. Jack is Atticus’s brother therefore Scout should respect him and make him feel at home, but recently she has picked up the bad habit of cursing which relates back to the disease of Maycomb. Two: Scout attacks Jem because she got angry when Jem started to lecture her on why she shouldn’t annoy Alexandra, Atticus’s sister. In the previous chapters (1-5) Atticus is always telling Scout to relax and to avoid fighting with others therefore Jem is trying to help Scout realise her mistake and change her actions.
He teaches his children valuable lessons in life, both about respect and courage. Jem and Scout are taught what real courage is through Mrs Dubose, and learn to be courageous as well. These main themes are to be explored in the following
One of the main characters in the book Lafayette who didn’t want to be like other kids in the projects when his friend Rickey started influencing him to do some bad things, and he started being like him even though he knew that was bad but he choose to confirm and take that route because it was a normal behavior for the projects children. However Lafayette brother pharaohs choose not to be like the projects kids and he went after his choice he wanted to be different and achieve something, just like his cousin Dawn did by finishing high school and going into collage. That could also be seen in the movie mean girl when the girl Katie came back to the united states she made a choice to confirm to the teenage life in America is like because she thought that otherwise they would have never accepted her, so she tried to fit in and she was considered to be a mean girl just because she wanted to follow the crowd. As stated in the article “Sadness of Conformity” that conformity makes it difficult to hang into things that’s important to you and the sad thing is that you don’t even realize you lost it and when you do it’s too late. “You lose something priceless and precious when you are forced to be like everyone
