Mr. Luchak Monday, December 08, 2008 Courage: Well, in the book To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch shows a lot of courage, throughout the book, in the next few paragraphs there will be passages that show Atticus and how he shows courage. There are many other virtues that Atticus shows, but courage is just the main one, because he’s very thoughtful he helps many people in To Kill a Mockingbird, he always thinks about the future and plans ahead of how harsh to be on punishments and on how to protect him and his family. Atticus, really uses the virtue courage when he’s waiting infront of the jail where Tom Robinson was because Atticus knew a mob would come to kill him the day before the trial, and then when he was fighting for the freedom of Tom Robinson there’s a lot of courage being showed, and lastly when he tries to tell Helen Robinson that Tom Robinson got shot and then tries to help her get over it. “You know what we want,” another man said. “Get aside from the door, Mr. Finch.” “You can turn around and go home again, Walter,”
Although Jem believes that Mrs. Dubose is a thoroughly bad woman, Atticus admires her for the courage with which she battles her morphine addiction. In one chapter, Jem breaks Mrs. Dubose’s camellia plan and his punishment was to read at her house for a month or two for an hour a day. Jem hated every minute of this, but taught him some good lessons. The responders get a sense of this woman “hating everything and everyone” when the character is introduced, again, as with Boo and Atticus, we see that there is much doubt and misjudgement to her. Atticus considers her one of the bravest people he knows and he wanted Jem to see that about her.
(About ms) Many people who have tried all types of treatments, but have not gotten any results tend to try alternative medicines. My dad felt like he owed it to himself when he heard about a new “bee” treatment. This involved having bees sting the neck, along the spine, top of shoulders, top of feet and hands three times every other day and increase to twenty times a day. The bee venom is supposed to “wake up” the nerves that are either not or slowly traveling through your central nervous system. (Moyer, interview) Although this particular treatment did not work, studies today show great hope for the future, at a Multiple Sclerosis conference Dr. Caroline Whitacre discussed new discoveries in MS, “Today, we are making progress in virtually every field that impacts MS.” (Dr. Whitacre, 2008) Researchers have discovered two new genes that make people susceptible to whatever triggers MS.
Two poems I have studied and read in class are, ‘Stobhill’ by Edwin Morgan and ‘Unto us...’ by Spike Milligan respectively. This essay will focus on the poets’ views on abortion. My personal view of this topic is that it should only be allowed in extreme circumstances, just like the circumstance in ‘Stobhill’. ‘Stobhill’ is about a young lady who gets raped and turns out pregnant from it, but decides to have an abortion. This poem explain the feelings of, the docter, who seems immune to what’s happened, and speaks formally, the father who speaks less formally than the doctor, the mother who is clearly scarred because after the abortion she doesn’t want to have children anymore and is scared about what her father would say if he knew, the porter who seems to be more worried what would have happened if the boiler man had placed the foetus in the fire and they then later found out it was alive when they put the foetus in the fire, the boiler man who speaks the least formal out of the five, but he is also scarred about the incident as he has nightmares for nights afterwards.
