Hitler’s daughter is very entertaining, it has a great story line and it takes you to a place where you can imagine what would’ve been if Hitler did have a child. When Anna told the story of Hitler’s daughter, it was initially only meant to be for one morning, to settle little Tracy down on the first day of school. Soon after, Anna’s friend Mark wants to know more and more about Hitler’s, so called ‘daughter’. Mark seems to find himself wondering about Hitler and the type of person he was. This story always kept me on edge, as I wanted to find out more about the story.
A trail in which Atticus, Jem and Scout’s father, is set to be the defending lawyer of a black man brings the children to realize that people are not what they appear and how their society truly works. Through key quotes from the novel, Jem and Scout learn about courage, perspective and value that can be easily related to my own experiences and lessons learned. In the beginning of the novel Jem and Scout are young siblings looking to have fun during the summer. Their innocent games that they play reflect their immaturity and how young minds tend to speculate upon things they do not know much about. Throughout the novel Jem has a difficulty with understanding what courage is.
Their use of slang and dialect would be matched by the local accent, and would contrast strongly with the standard English spoken by their teachers. Carol Chandler who is both the first and last character we meet. during the course of the day she becomes aware of the fact that she is trapped into her social situation by virtue of her background and abilities. She shows maturity by saying "Ey you, y'not supposed t'touch em" but then she gives in "m gonna call mine Freddy, hiya Freddy, hello, Freddy, Freddy." Milton, Andrews and Ronson are younger children whose function within the play is to provide light relief as when they are picked on.
At the beginning of the novel, Harper Lee presents Jem is a typical ten-year-old boy who is very close with his younger sister Scout. Throughout the course of the book, although all of the children grow up, it is Jem who matures the most as he and Scout ‘begin to part company.’ Jem matures in a number of ways throughout the novel for a variety of reasons. Firstly, as he gets older his attitudes begin to change as he wishes to spend more time alone and begins to leave Scout behind. Harper Lee ensures that the adults in the novel recognise this change, Calpurnia starts calling him ‘Mister Jem’ and Atticus tells Scout to let him have his space. Jem is also offered a piece of the ‘adult cake’ by Miss Maudie.
“The School” is an optimistic story by Donald Barthelme that showcases how a teacher (Edgar) can teach his students through experiences that as fast as death can occur, life can be created. And in return learns through his students that though death is a tragic event and is a hard thing to forget, the only thing to do is to move forward in your life because life goes on. Death occurs in the beginning of the story with the example of trees and then displayed in different forms throughout most of the story. It isn’t until the last paragraph when new life comes with the arrival of a new class pet. Edgar describes the deaths as if they happened just weeks of each other.

The story was told in first person perspective, with Scout speaking. I think that this mainly allowed us to follow Scout’s personal development; it allowed us to see Scout’s thoughts and emotions. For example, in the beginning of the book, Scout enjoyed terrorizing Boo Radley in an attempt to make him get out of his house. Later on, though, she realized that doing this was really just hurting an innocent person. On page 279, Scout finally understood Boo well, and she felt that she had developed so much that “there wasn’t much else left for her to learn, except possibly algebra.” This sort of progress in Scout’s character made the story much more interesting for me, and helped me to better recognize the messages that the author was trying to convey.
Lee uses this scene to show the turning point in which Scout starts to see that using her fists is not the only way to dispel the negative words being thrown towards her. Scout puts the lesson she had learnt in practise when Cecil Jacobs abuses Scout about her Father, for defending a black man. Scout "drew a bead" on
Scout Finch: Boyish Girl Growing Up Eleanor Roosevelt once wrote, “People grow through experiences, if they meet life honestly and courageously.” In Harper Lee’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the character of Jean Louis Finch provides an example of how experiences shape one’s personality. She is Atticus’s daughter, Jem’s younger sister, and Boo Radley’s neighbor. People call her “Scout” because of her outspoken, headstrong, and boyish characteristics. As the novel progresses, she grows from age 6 to age 9, experiences turmoil in her small hometown, and transforms from an innocent girl to a thoughtful person. A tomboy, a curious child, and a maturing girl, Scout proves to be the most dynamic character in the novel.
