He accidently killed Stilson in the beginning of the book without knowing until chapter 15, because he kicked him so many times. He did not mean to, he just wanted to win and make them stop harassing him. Ender always feels like a killer after he kills someone, even when it’s not on purpose. For Ender, he doesn’t want to be a killer because he doesn’t like killing people and he thinks that it will make him like Peter. Ender does not want to kill anyone because if he does, then it’ll make him like Peter.
They are forced to kill their best friends to prove they are loyal, if they don’t, they are killed. It comes to the point were shooting is “just like drinking a glass of water.” It is often argued that the children choose to stay and kill. Many ask, why didn’t they just desert? Why not shoot the commanders? Because they are afraid of what will happen if they do.
Calpurnia runs for Atticus who comes home with the heck Tate, the sheriff. Heck brings a rifle and asks Atticus to shoot. Atticus does and hits the dog with his first shot. Miss Maudie tells jem and scout that as a young man Atticus has the best shot in the county-‘one-shot-finch’. Scout wants to brag about it but jem tells her to keep it a secret because if Atticus wants to know he would have told him.
Atticus thought that it was Jem but the sheriff said that Bob Ewell fell on his knife. The person that really killed Bob Ewell was Boo Radley and the sheriff hides that fact to protect Boo Radley from trials in court. For readers to be able to tell that it was Boo Radley who killed Bob Ewell they had to pay attention to quotes like “Thank you Arthur….. Thank you for my children” (Lee chap 31). The Author gives readers clues and makes them think to figure out questions, she never gives a straight out answer.
In a later on scene we see candy who is confronted by Carlson who wants to kill his dog. As we were brought up we are told that killing anything is wrong and most of us would have the same reluctance as candy to killing our own dog despite the state it’s in. we retain these attitudes from our youth and believe that it’s the right way but as slim says its much crueller to keep the dog alive when it isn’t any good to itself. The point Steinbeck is trying to make is that we as an audience are most comparable to candy in our attitudes behaviours and opinions. And that our views on life are very different to what life is.
Nothing could ever make up for all the bad things Sonny does but at least he does somewhat realize the bad things he does. If he did not realize his bad deeds, he wouldn’t be telling Cologero not to be like him. I know that Sonny has trust issues but that does not affect him being a good person or not. Sonny’s having trust issues is just his way of trying to protect himself from getting taken advantage of, and keep control. The reason why he has these trust issues is probably because he was taken advantage of in the past, and does not want it to happen again.
She appeals to the readers’ emotions. When she says that her parents’ accents humiliated her, you can feel her pain and embarrassment of something so trivial. Yu can feel her anger as she tells the reader of the snide remark about the Middle East coming from an adult. She uses reason to convince readers of the discrimination when her mother changes young children’s minds about some stereotypes. I think pathos predominates because one connects with the author on an emotional level and opens their mind to the existing problem.
In the book, from the very start Christopher’s father does not want him to try and solve the mystery of the dead dog. This hints that he doesn’t want Christopher to find out who killed the dog because it was him, Christopher’s father. He also says many times throughout the book that he does not like Mr. Shears. Even though Mr. Shears is gone now, killing his old dog could be a way to try to emotionally hurt him. Another literary device in this book is symbolism.
Nonetheless, it still causes a disagreement between the two people. The speaker thinks that it is not necessary to have the wall. However, on the other hand, his neighbor believes the wall is necessary because of his father’s old saying "good fences make good neighbors" (27, 45), although, it seems contrary to nature. Those two men put up the wall every spring; they tend to put the boundaries between themselves, even though without it there could also be no harm between them. In Jonathan’s paper, his discussions showed that most people think Frost’s opinion is that a wall between each other is a bad thing.
Dear Editor, I would like to respond to Hans Wergin’s letter about abandoned dogs. I strongly disagree with Hans Wergin and feel that his idea of making people register as dog owners is of little value. The government should take other actions for tackling this severe problem. According to SPCA, the stray dog population in Hong Kong is escalating continuously. Dogs will be forced to take euthanasia if they were not adopted for a period of time.
