To Kill a Mockingbird "Ignorant individuals are those who refuse to see the world through the eyes of another." - Matthew Michael James once said. Ignorance is something that is oblivious to humans and are not aware of their lack of knowledge about other people. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, displays Attics Finch a lawyer that was chosen to defend Tom Robinson's life from the racist people in Maycomb County such as Bob Ewell, and to always be their for his two children Scout, and Jem that experience many conflicts throughout the novel. Two characters that show bewilderment throughout the course of the novel is Scout, and Bob Ewell.
(Page 217/218) No black man should feel sorry for a white person. The witnesses of this cross examination were shocked and this shows how prejudice they were- they believed that no black man can feel sorry for their superiors. Another factor that was deeply prejudice during Tom Robinson’s trial, was when Mr Gilmer has trouble trusting Tom’s statement when Tom says that he helped Mayella out of kindness and no money. He did not believe a black man could do a simple chore from the goodness of their heart for nothing! Also when Tom is called big buck- Mr Gilmer is treating Tom as if he were more of an animal.
Personally, I find it sad the way they are treated now and the slaughtering of so many of them unethical and disturbing. The connection between them and capitalism may be slightly exaggerated. I sort of see where the author was going but ultimately I feel like it went completely against their beliefs and way of life. They did not place a money value on things; they traded, lived off the land, built their own tools, caught their own food and had a sense of connection between all the elements of Earth. They respected the land, used in moderation and prioritized the whole tribe over themselves.
Before she thought that Atticus was different from the other fathers in Maycomb because he was too old and couldn’t do anything fun with them. After he killed the mad dog in one shot, Scout was proud of her father and got more influenced in him. Scout is forced to understand that Tom Robinson was being treated differently because he had colored skin. Because of that, Scout realized that people can be prejudice because her father took a case of an African American man who was innocent. It shows that Scout can actually think seriously about things when she says, “Who in this town did anything to help Tom Robinson, just who?”(215).
He also learns that his grandfather was a dominating, immoral and scheming. David and his parents went face to face with dealing with the consequences of Frank’s crime. Racial prejudice means any action practice or belief that reflects the racial world view the ideology that humans are divided into separate groups because of their skin colour. The American Indians are racially prejudiced by most of the people in Montana, they are going through a hard life and living in a desolate reservation; also their lands are probably the least valuable compare to other regions. David eventually learns of the racial discriminations such as not allowing “an athlete like Ronnie” to attend college.
Naturally Violent “People are Violent because they are born that way.” Modern writers often speak of people native to violence. Although these three stories disproves that mankind is born evil, in Ralph Ellison’s “A Party Down at the Square” says the white narrator does not like the racism but will approve of it because his family and the environment revolved around him is indeed racist. “Invisible Man” also by Ralph Ellison, the Invisible man was always seeing the bright side of everything but as he grew older nobody noticed him so he turned evil, he understood that no one will ever see him the way he wants to be seen. “The Destructors” By Graham Greene, this also disproves the statement of all mankind are born evil because it shows
· Inside he knows he is equal to every other man on the ranch as he is obsessed with his rights , but if he expressed these thoughts he would probably be forced out of the farm, or even worse possibly as black people were not excepted and many people were prejudice in america in the 1930's. · The use of this word dehumanises Crooks and shows how black people at the time, had no rights at all-
This new and different discovery was weird for them to see because in their community they do not age. Lenina and Bernard also watched a community celebration that involved a man whipping himself. Lenina, so horrified from what she saw, reached into her pocket to use some soma but realized that she left it at the rest-house. She is so confused and terrified that Lenina starts to panic. “Lenina was left to face the horrors of Malpais unaided” (111).
The author characterized him during the time of the awakening as a bit shocked because he never saw this side of the society. The government isolated him and others so they can’t see the real world. Montag was well aware before the scene because when he met Clarisse she made him notice life and actually woke up to society. The reason it is significant is because he never experienced those things and if he did he never actually paid attention because he was so caught up with television and starting fires. He was also concerned with moving fast and being oppressed.
The inability between the blacks and the whites to verbally communicate meant that issues of knowledge, values and laws created conflicts of misunderstanding, frustration, violence and stealing. The Thornhills first moved to their new home at ‘Thornhill’s Point’, and this was where their first encounters and troubles with the blacks began. Will tried to communicate with them; however, one was just speaking ‘meaningless words’ to the other. Will tried to explain that this was now his own new piece of land and they had ‘all the rest’. Through the lack of communication and different values, the blacks could not comprehend this as their way of life was to share everything, including land and food.
