When Leisel steals from the Mayor’s house for example she is very brave, by fearlessly sneaking in “Liesel heaved herself onto the ledge and tussled her way inside,” (288). What Leisel did not think is that someone may have been home, and was able to hear her. Later on in the book Liesel receives a note from the Mayor’s wife saying she knows when Liesel comes and steals books, the note say “I could hear you the last time…” (369). Liesel was not careful when she stole and was discovered as a result. 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.
Personally, I believe this is because he lives with his mother. In order not to be sent back to the detention center, Luis is put into his father’s custody. Luis is promptly put to work in his father’s junkyard, washing and sorting hubcaps. A girl from Luis’ school stops by the junkyard to get a replacement hubcap for her VW Bug. The girl’s presence inspires Luis to stay at the junkyard all night washing the hubcaps looking for the special hubcap.
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Many scholars and critics complain that Mark Twain botches the ending of his novel. I think the ending is was consistent with the entire novel and is important the way it is. Huckleberry Finn (Huck) is actually poised and ready for change in this life and his progression was not destroyed as a result of the ending. As a reader I was able to see Huck go from an unsure boy to a confident young adult with a great sense of right and wrong. We are reminded again with the ending to remember that Huck is just a simple boy who just wants to go with the flow of whatever life brings.
The next night, when most of the men head to the local whorehouse. Lennie is left with Crooks, the Negro stable buck, and Candy. Curley's wife came to the barn saying that she was looking for Curley, but she actually came to talk to the men and find some company and refuse to leave until the other men come home. She notices the cuts on Lennie's face and suspects that he, and not a chunk of machinery like Curley told her, is responsible for hurting her husband. The successive day, Lennie accidentally kills his puppy in the barn, and Curley's wife came to see Lennie because she knew she could get company from Lennie while the others were outside.
Since the door was in order, Robinson told Ewell that he better get going, but then Ewell asked him to get a box down off of a chiffarobe. “So I done what she told me,” he explained, “and I was just reachin’ when the next thing I knows she- she’d grabbed me around the legs,reached up an’ kissed me ‘side of th’ face.” Tom then claimed Robert Ewell yelled “You goddamn whore, I’ll kill ya” directed at Mayella. When Finch asked Robinson if he raped Mayella Ewell, the entire courtroom held its breath. “I did not, suh.” Tom firmly stated. Lastly Mr. Gilmer asked questions to Tom and that the end of the trail Tom Robinson was not guilty.
He states that he cant tell lies, yet he tells his father that he wont carry on with investigation and as soon as Mrs Alexander lets him know that she has some information about his investigation, then he turns straight back too it. He explains that the reason he left her before is because ‘she went inside and he didn’t know what to do’. This shows that although he can be quite clever at times, autism still plays a major part in the chapter. He doesn’t know how to socialise with anyone so he simply walked away without saying goodbye because he doesn’t know the good meaning of manners or social equilibriums. To conclude
Hope’s Boy The risk and protective factors in this story is, the time Hope left Andy in the room along when she went downstairs to have a drink. When she took him to the neighbor’s house to steal from a garden, Carol and Hope went in the house, but before that a dog started barking. The owner came out and told his dog to get them and the dog almost bit Andy on the leg. Another time occurred when she was stealing from the drugstore when Andy was with her and when they were eating out of the garbage. She also put him at risk when she had Louis living with her and she did not call the police when Louis physically abused Andy while Hope was at work.
Huck questions why he has not turned in Jim because he wants to be what society depicts as good, but in reality, he does what he knows is right. While Huck is on the raft alone, he begins to question why he helps Jim escape while Miss Watson has done nothing wrong to him. Huck feels terrible but he cannot bring himself to pray that he can do the right thing. “I was trying to make my mouth say the right thing and the clean thing, and go and write to that nigger’s owner and tell where he was; but deep down in me I knowed it was a lie-and He knowed it. You can’t pray a lie-I found that out” (Twain 227).
They continued to believe that they were perfectly justified for how they treated Eva Smith and that they were not at all involved in her horrific suicide. They did not like the Inspector from the beginning and this may be because he is a figure of authority and they do not like to be told what to do or think. They like to be the ones in control. We know this because Birling says to the Inspector “I don’t see why we have to tell you anything. In fact, there’s nothing I can tell you.
At first, Dolores had believed that the accident wasn’t here fault, or at least wanted to. “Well, I’m not to blame!” (146) is what Dolores had told Mitchell Stephens when they were talking about the accident. However, after learning about what Nichole had done, which was put the blame on her, she reasoned that this was for the best and even felt grateful for it. “…whether they memorialized us or despised us, whether they cheered for our destruction or applauded our victory over adversity, they did it to meet their need, not ours. Which, since it could be no other way, which was exactly as it should be.” (254).
