That he is strayed by the rest of the town - peer pressure. Mr Cunningham is also just like everyone else he has his blind spots. In conclusion, Atticus against the odds teaches his children that people should be judged by their own merits and not my the social norms. Through the thematic theme of prejudice Attiucs is the role model to children, He is looked up to by his family and his friends who "trust him to do
After a childish prank he pulled when he was a young boy, his father incarnated him for may years. Boo can be referred to a style 'mocking bird'of the story as he is one of the townss most judged members, but is actually just an innocent caring man. Boo has very little contact with the outside world. When he starts leaving toys and objects in a hollow tree trunk for jet and scout, it's one of boos first interactions with anyone other then his father and brother. Attics, scout jem and society all misjudged boos shy personality for so,e crazy killer man.
When Atticus fails to understand that Boo was the one who killed Bob, Scout explains Atticus a lesson which is usually visa versa, that you must never kill a Mockingbird and by exposing and giving him the negative publicity towards Boo it would be like killing him in a way. This is the major turning point in Scouts maturity because she finally sees Boo not as evil but as a gentle creature just stuck in a bad situation. Although Scout matured drastically she still managed to be daddy’s little girls when she falls asleep on Atticus’ lap when he reads to her. This is only normal because even though Scout learned so much she is still so young and has a lot more to learn in
He sought to give advice as a peer rather than a parent, which shows his devotion to his son because he is not acting like the dominant father he very clearly is. Chesterfield uses his style of diction mainly for the purpose of showing dominance. He constantly belittles his son and shows his supremacy. The different types of diction used throughout the letter all show in some way the virtues that Lord Chesterfield is imposing on his
The lesson learned in this novel is quoted directly in the book, “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” This story takes place during the Great Depression in a town called Maycomb, Alabama. The narrarator, Scout Finch, lives with her older brother Jem and their widowed father Atticus. Boo Radley is a neighbor of the Finches. Jem, Scout, and Dill, a friend, let their imaginations run wild with thoughts of Boo. The children have been terrified and fascinated with their neighbor.
He even gave the kids gifts in the tree. Jem matured a lot through the book. He saw how people’s lives can be ruined or lost by rumors, lies, and racism. He learned why people shouldn’t be judged by what others say. He also saw that help can come from places you least expect it.
No one really ever saw Boo Radley and the people of the town made up many weird stories about him and the spooky house he lives in. It illustrates that when someone is different’ from us we will make up stories or blame them for things that are not their fault because we are afraid. Despite the kindnesses shown to the children by Boo, (Chapter 4 ‘Scout passes the Radley Place and sees some tinfoil sticking out of a knothole in one of the Radleys’ oak trees. Scout reaches into the knothole and discovers two pieces of chewing gum’ and in Chapter 7 ‘When they come home from school that day, they find another present hidden in the knothole: a ball of gray twine’) the children do not see Boo as a human being but as a person to be feared. The children’s father Atticus, tries to make the children more compassionate and tries to get them to see things from the other person’s point of view before judging them, (Atticus, Chapter 3: ‘You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view .
It is never said, but all the evidence points to this because the tree is in the Radley yard itself. Also, when Mr. Radley, Boo’s father, plugs up the tree hole with cement, Jem starts to cry because Radley has destroyed the only attempt for friendship Boo could have had. Boo Radley probably hid these things in the tree in an attempt to communicate with somebody in the outside world, showing the reader that he means no harm which further shows his innocence. Boo builds up his innocence significantly until the climax of the novel, where his innocence is destroyed when he performs a heroic act. After Bob Ewell attacks the children
“The extreme situation Card has constructed to isolate and abuse Ender guarantees our sympathy” (1) Kessel is trying to explain how Orson Card is trying to demonstrate that through all of the challenges that Ender has makes us feel sympathy for him. I agree completely with Kessel because when I was reading the book I felt total compassion for Ender. When the teachers make Ender fight all of his battles alone show just some of the challenges he has to face. Orson Scott Card captures the innocence of Ender and is able to make such a little child feel moral dilemmas parallel with the adult world. (1) John is saying by Orson’s amazing writing skills he is able to have a child face all of the moral dilemmas of an adult and deal with them to the best of his
“’Scout, I think I’m beginning to understand something. I think I’m beginning to understand why Boo Radley’s stayed shut up in the house all this time… it’s because he wants to stay inside’”(227). This proves that Boo stays inside so he can stay away from the prejudiced town, but he faces that fear and always finds a way to make Jem and Scout stay safe and feel happy. Additionally, when Bob Ewell attacks the children, Boo shows up to help them and attack Bob himself, kills him in result. “All he wanted to do was to get him and his sister safely home’” (275).
