She tried to resist taking drugs because she wanted to have a clean bloodstream when she dies. Also to avoid being labelled as a “druggy”. Even though everyone must have thought Ms. Dubose was crazy, Atticus observes her situation from a different perspective and believes that Ms. Dubose was very courageous. To prove his point Atticus says, “…Courage is not a man with a gun in his hand. It’s knowing you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see through it.”(Lee 112) Atticus tells Jem that courage is not a man carrying a weapon; courage comes within you, not with the objects around you.
Gatsby's social standing allowed him to be generous, because everyone expected it of him after attending or hearing about one of his lavish parties. Nick was below the high social standings of Tom, Daisy, and Jordan, and also below the lower social standing of Gatsby, but members of both classes liked and trusted him. As Nick said in chapter one of The Great Gatsby, Tom wanted Nick to like him as well. Somehow, Nick could transcend the barriers of certain classes, which made it easy for anyone to trust him, whether it is Tom with talking about his mistress, or Gatsby revealing his true identity. Wealth played a major part in The Great Gatsby.
Gatsby may portray that the main reason why he throws massive parties is because he just simply wants to, but the true reason is because he hopes that Daisy will one day show up. Also, Nick, being the grounded man that he is, notices how impersonal Gatsby’s parties are, when he remarks “The bar is in full swing, and floating rounds of cocktails permeate the garden outside, until the air is alive with chatter and laughter, and casual innuendo and introductions forgotten on the spot, and enthusiastic meetings between women who never knew each other's names." (Fitzgerald 45). This quote makes it evident that West Eggers lived only in the present and simply used Gatsby for his generosity. West Eggers are known for their outrageous activities and parties whereas East Eggers carry themselves with more confidence, class, and statue.

These rules included three unique attributes; the serving position, the double bounce rule, and the no-volley zone. During the serve the player has to have one foot across the baseline while serving. The double bounce rule says that the player receiving the serve would have to wait for the ball to bounce; this gave an advantage to the server to get in position for a quick return volley. So, the rule was changed to that the receiving team and the server must both hit the first shots off the bounce, after that the ball may be volleyed. The no-volley zone is seven feet on either side of the net.

Culture traveled along the road, and religions like Buddhism and Christianity came about.

The police are trained in “shoot” and “do not shoot” situations. They are trained to think about what happens if a bullet misses or passes through a person, who it might hit. Neither the criminal nor the average citizen is trained and would not think about it. Any person will do what is necessary to protect them or loved ones. However, thinking a gun in the hands of an “octogenarian” makes them safe is fooling themselves.
