Ronnie Donnie Andy Batto November 2nd, 2011 Ronnie Donnie Lavesque, the most ostracized child you could ever see. In reality he was very nice kid who would love to socialize but he had some very odd hobbies. He knew that people would not understand his hobbies, but he made a choice early in life that he valued who he was and what he did over what people thought of him. You are probably thinking how odd could his hobbies be? Some of his hobbies are playing with toads and stamp collecting, but by far the weirdest hobby was collecting dead ravens.

Doc is a very brilliant and compassionate man. Though his being the only highly intelligent resident in Cannery Row is what sets him apart from others. Every single person respects and idolizes Doc, but at the same time, no one can fully comprehend him or give Doc complete company. Even while Hazel accompanies Doc on a trip to the tide pools, Doc is very much shown as being out casted from Hazel and everybody else. In response to Hazel’s question about stink beetles, Doc answers, “The remarkable thing…isn’t that they put their tails up in the air- the really incredible thing is that we find it remarkable” (38).
For instance, Asian people can’t drive especially Asian women. You don’t know how many times I’ve heard this joke on Television or on the street somewhere and I’m pretty sure that some Asian people wouldn’t like the comment being made. But if you were to tell someone that there was an accident somewhere and an Asian was involved there is a strong possibility of them thinking it had something to do with the Asian because the racial stereotype. Another example of this is when you say the word, ”ghetto” the first thing you’ll probably think of is a rundown African-American neighborhood with ignorant black children considered as hoodlums that don’t want an education and don’t want to be
TWEET (172) SHARE PIN The Cardinals are my least-favorite team in baseball. There isn't another team in the league that I dislike more. Everything they do bugs me. I suspect this is also true for many Brewers fans, though some might dislike, say, the Cubs more or at least on an even-tilt. I try to be a positive person, always looking on the bright side of things.
The quote explained how that no body wanted to go to the Radley’s place because people were scared of it. The funny thing though was that people assume “Boo” was a monster and scary, but no one really had proof. Booism may be the first challenge they face, but it was far from the end of the challenges they faced. One of the biggest challenges was racisim. Though Maycomb was a white commuinty, there were a few negeros.
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
Superstition was among the minds of all, and restricted some people in different situations. Astrology is another topic among unfathomable information to observe upon in accuracy. People during the historic era practiced this science, and used it with as many opportunities as possible. Human knowledge
The knowledge and ignorance in the story was greatly important to us as a motivation to do different in some cases. ““Magazines became a nice blend of vanilla tapioca. Books, so the damned snobbish critics said, were dishwater. No wonder books stopped selling, the critics said. But the public, knowing what it wanted, spinning happily, let the comic books survive.”” There are knowledge we use today but also some ignorance.
Steven turns into a awful man who knows he has the advantage of Ann for the night, “but in a storm like this you are not expecting john?” (236). Over and over Steven kept reminding her that John would not be coming home tonight but that he would not be coming at all. Ann began to be afraid of Steven but then she knew that he was a safe friend but he still had a fright among him, “there was something strange, almost terrifying, about this Steven and his quiet unrelenting smile” (237). The mood had some fear in it, what should Ann do. Steven seemed to be acting as if something was going to happen.
