Instead of admitting to their heinous actions, the three men sought help from their willing ‘brothers’ to bully and persuade black and white people alike into submission and essentially cover-up the whole incident. I understand that in the face of punishment, people will do anything to ‘get away with murder’, but how can so many people feel no remorse in essentially erasing one man’s existence? It is sickening to realize that the KKK could be so effective in brainwashing an entire town. Meanwhile, the African American community likewise gave into emotion and engaged in a poorly thought out and executed plan of retaliation. Instead of fighting for Marrow’s justice and their own rights in a civil manner, the African Americans in Oxford choose to cause more damage by creating chaos and classifying
In the beginning of the movie, Wikus displayed very poor behaviour towards Christopher. Christopher was different from the humans, so Wikus treated him horribly. For example, in the movie Wikus threatened Christopher by saying that he was going to take his child away if he didn’t evacuate his house immediately. Christopher realized Wikus wasn’t being fair to Christopher because it’s illegal to make someone evacuate without giving them 24 hours of notice. Even after all of that, Christopher was able to forgive Wikus.

Had he been caught in Mary's bedroom he knew he would've been fired and perhaps arrested. On page 85 then author says “He wanted to move from the bed, but was afraid he would stumble over something and Mrs. Dalton would hear him, would know that someone besides Mary was in the room.” Bigger was so afraid of being caught in Mary’s room that he wouldn’t even move. Bigger, a Black man, being caught in a young White woman’s bedroom would have caused more commotion than he had bargained for. On page 87 the author says “He had killed a white woman” Not only had Bigger killed someone but he had killed a white person. Society already doesn’t favor Black men so the fact that he had taken the life of a white woman put even more fear into him than any other murder he could have committed.
It’s like women in movies has taken a total role reversal in movies today. Throughout the movie she shows how she don’t listen to no one and just does her own thing because she knows that taking, the character Michael, off the streets is the right thing to do, even though he is black and is kind of shady at first. She has her husband asking her why she is letting this stranger in our house when you don’t even what he is going to do, and she doesn’t see him doing anything wrong. In the older days the husband would have been like no this boy will not stay in my house. If Sean tried saying this to Leigh he would of probably been sleeping on the couch.

People will always do what they want to do trying not to get caught. In the book the defense attorneys were not fair with Jefferson’s trial and they were not nice either by considering him a hog. In trials in the society today people get chances and say on what they did or didn’t do to prove how they’re not guilty. In the novel an innocent black man was not treated with respect. Jefferson was treated as a poor lowlife creature.
Holden keeps himself separated because he thinks they are a bunch of crooks and he does not like interacting with them. But to make matters worst, he does not like how phonies act and communicate with people. Holden feels that when Ernie is “playing the piano, he ‘sounds’ like the kinds of guy that won’t talk to you unless you’re a big shot” (80). Even though he thinks that Ernie would not talk to anyone unless they were a big shot, he is not certain that he would act in that way towards someone. Holden desires to separate and isolate himself from people that he might become such as phonies, morons, or hot shots.
This meant, cleaning, cooking, caring for the children and husband, etc. Similar to these expectations, the narrator in The Yellow Wallpaper is forbidden from reading and writing. Her husband/ doctor, John, does not allow it because he thinks that putting her on the “rest cure” will help her come out of her depression or mental illness. Little does he know that not allowing her to write or read, forcing her to sneak and do it, is causing her to become more and more insane and obsessed with the yellow wallpaper. This is a prime example of a man repressing a woman’s rights.
We have talked about a similar topic in class on why the monster was isolated from the society, and while the discussion I thought that it was the monster’s lack of self-esteem that eventually caused his exile from the society. I understand that he would not have any self-esteem before his education of language and knowledge, since before the monster learns to express himself, his actions are no less than terrifying which would only make
