Atticus is a wise lawyer who always knows best. Freddy Cobbs was the leader of the KKK. Freddy Cobbs tried to assassinate Jake. Atticus is an honest, brave and wise person because he took the
A well-trained soldier and an audacious hit man would fully understand the main characters of the book “The Wars” by Timothy Findley and the movie Bourne Identity. They would see beyond the defiant attitudes and changes that both the characters had undergone. Robert Ross and Jason Bourne both went to a stage in their life wherein they acted beyond what they used to. Ross, a caring and loving person, turned into a killing machine. Bourne, on the other hand, used to be an emotionless and fearless killer but in the end he turned out to be good man.
He states she broke a code rather than committing a crime. This helps achieve Atticus’s purpose because it gets the audience to consider the facts, deeply think and reconsider their thoughts and decisions on the case. He is proving that the assumption that all blacks are wrongs and whites are always right is wrong. Many Maycomb residents value patriotism. Atticus uses a sense of credibility to target this value in his speech by creating reassurance that all Maycomb residents are equal.
His decisions make a difference between a speedy, unfair case and a long, fair case. He knows what kind of lawyer Atticus is, and chooses him to defend Tom because his past. He knows that Atticus will work his hardest to put in a good fight for Tom, regardless of his skin color. Although during the case Judge Taylor looks to be not paying attention, he’s listening very well. Judge Taylor ends up being very helpful towards Tom; no other white person besides Atticus would take the time to think about a black man.
This shows that Wolsey was a successful chief minister in terms of justice because he saw it as his duty to bring everyone justice no matter how rich they were. But there were times when Wolsey used the courts to further his own position and carry out personal vendettas against enemies. For example Wolsey had been put in the stocks by Paulet in a bid to teach the young man a lesson about humility and good grace. Wolsey never forgot his humiliation and used his position as Lord Chancellor to have his revenge. Source 8 supports this because it says 'But Wolsey's vision and his originality in
Mencken, just like I do, believes that capital punishment is good in every way, and he can argue his points with great detail. In the article he points out two reasons why many people are against capital punishment. He continues through the article by defending why people should be for capital punishment. The first point against capital punishment is that the work of the hangman is unpleasant (Mencken 145). But in defense, Mencken states that many jobs are unpleasant, which is so.
In the opening of the passage, Judge Pyncheon is describe to be a pure man, with judicial character, meaning that he follows the rules, and is very devoted and is active in a community setting. Hawthorne introduces Judge Pyncheon’s “good” deeds list by saying “that there was enough splendid rubbish in his life to cover up and paralyze a more active and subtle conscience from the Judge was ever troubled with.” Hawthorne uses detailed language in order to present the true character of the Judge. He uses the phrase “splendid rubbish,” which has an underlining meaning, in this case, introducing Judge Pyncheon, not as “Good” as he seems. In lines 12-14, the narrator explains, how Judge Pyncheon was the president of a Bible Society, and was also the treasurer for a Widow’s and Orphan fund. The narrator uses selection details of words and character traits such as purity, faithfulness, and devotedness to in a joking tone, to further explain Judge Pyncheon’s
He is understanding, accepting, and he’s very fair. When he decided to defend Tom Robinson because he found it morally correct, it showed that he was very open-minded. He listened to both sides in the court and found a way to make people believe what he believed. He always treated people with respect. Calpurnia is also a great example of an approving person.
The old man who first changed his vote acknowledged this admirable transformational leadership quality when he commented: “it is not easy to stand alone against the ridicule of others. He gambled for support and I gave it to him”. A transformational leader is a role model: • He powerfully modeled having a thoughtful, investigative and inquiring mind to the rest of the jury members by re-examining the key evidences of the prosecutor and the 2 witnesses. Other members of the jury soon followed his example and started raising “reasonable doubts” which led to a unanimous “Not guilty” verdict. • He Frequently reinforces that the burden of proof is on the prosecution and that if there is reasonable doubt, then they should acquit the kid • This character has a very clear idea of what the goal is here.
Another reason why this second example proves that Scout, Dill and Jem are curious is because they wanted to know the truth about the trial. What really happened? Is Tom Robinson innocent or guilty? Are the Ewells innocent or guilty? Who will win the trial?
