Angry whites in the South during this period of time would go to any measure to satisfy their hate for an individual of a different race. Rosaleen really changes during this trial; she becomes bitter towards whites, even towards Lily, whom she is close to. Continuing on page 52 Rosaleen learns about the black Madonna. “If Jesus’ mother is black, how come we only know about the white Mary?” The quote is what Rosaleen was thinking when she saw the picture Lily had found in her mother’s items. This is not just a picture of a black version of Mary; it is a picture of the African American’s gaining their rightful freedoms in 1964.
This also shows how much courage Atticus has by not letting them in. Jem and Scout are very courageous. “ I swear before God if I’ll sit there and let them say somethin’ about Atticus” (Lee p.87). This was when Scout was at school and Francis called his dad a nigger lover. She got so mad and beat him up.
This next line comes from an online review written by Janet Maslin, titled “Fried Green Tomatoes”, found on the NYT website explaining “The film's overstatement is such that Evelyn has to appear in flowered frocks and stiff hairdos, nibbling candy bars and gazing longingly at her equally rotund husband, to establish the fact that she is unhappy.” This line re emphasizes how Evelyn’s eating habits suggest her current unhappy state. In the movie she explains that she eats because she’s sad, and she’s sad because she eats. Her husband’s indifference to their marriage validates her insecurities, which further fuels the unfortunate cycle. This is a clear
They also added a scene with George and Curley’s wife to show how she is very mischievous. Lastly, Lennie’s death was more abrupt than the novel because it was a quick move by George, pulling the gun out and pulling the trigger instantly. Most of the things in the movie and novel were the same. Candy’s Dog got shot by Carlson. George and Lennie ate beans in the campsite in both the novel and the movie.
The first reason is that because Abigail Williams is extremely manipulative and vindictive. Abigail tries to get Procter to pity her saying, “You loved me, John Proctor, and whatever sin it is, you love me yet! John, pity me, pity me!” (Miller 22). Abigail wants Procter to pity and give her what she wants, regardless that his wife caught them once and can catch them again. Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him.
The Last time Liesel’s “courage’ gets the best of her is when she and Rudy feed bread to the Jews at the cost of being caught and punished. “He was giving people bread.” (440), this is how the book describes Rudy feeding the Jews. Although it was very brave, when they were caught, they were chased away and hit. “Keep running little girl, you don’t belong here!’ (441) is what the guard yelled to Liesel after he kicked her. Rudy and Liesel did a brave thing, but risked being severely punished.
Next morning when Jim finds out that Alena is an extremist vegetarian, he does not hesitate to lie about being a vegetarian also. The author uses verbal irony to show his desire to identify with her. “I don’t eat meat myself, […] or actually, not anymore’ – since the pastrami sandwich, that is- […]” (Boyle 573). Jim surprises not only the reader, but also himself when he finds himself marching down the street with a placard and even later gets knocked out by a former kick boxer chauffeur. Jim’s actions are exactly the opposite with what the reader is led to expect from the description of Jim and his fondness of meat.
Teacher’s Talents After Marten Luther king was murdered in 1968, Jane Elliot teacher in small town in Iowa decided, to help her students understand the crises event, why someone would kill the peaceful man. She thinks, feels, needs, and wants to convinces her students, how they and the others are wrong, and they must correct their attitude.

Chisholm stated, “Prejudice as a black person is becoming unacceptable...” (1) While she then states “Prejudice against women is acceptable” (1). Although race prejudice is unacceptable even though eliminating it would take years, prejudice against women is being accepted and allowed in where she believes both should not be allowed. She then comes to the House of Representatives with a more logical appeal stating, “As a black person, I am no stranger to race prejudice. But the truth is that in the political world I have been far oftener to discrimination against because I am a woman than because I am black.” (1). Chisholm wanted to prove from personal experience how society is more prejudice over gender than race itself.
Doug’s response to setting his mother’s cats on fire was ‘It was the fault of the psychiatrist...he told me I had an unresolved problem with my mother... and I better fix it’. Julie’s brief monologue in Act One also helps the audience to better understand her character and why she came to be in the institution; ‘twelve hours later that woman was still there, minus a few curls, if that. She hadn’t moved. Too scared I was going to snip everything except her hair’. The final monologue (spoken by Lewis) at the end of the play summarises the future of the patients, Nowra is able to comment on how bad things happen to good people simply because they are given the title of being ‘mad’.
