Thesis: Many pieces of literature reveal the theme of bullying such as; Please Stop Laughing At Me by Jodee Blanco, but people should look for something good in others instead of the bad will make differences. Bullying has been going on for years and not only in school but also all over. When is it ever going to stop and look for something good in someone instead of the bad things? Going to school should be exciting, seeing your friends and learning new things, but for some it’s the worst part of their day. Going to school shouldn’t be a punishment.

The children mature when they learn about empathy, courage and hypocrisy and how they can affect a small town. They learn through lessons, situations, through education, and by example of other characters’ actions. Their father teaches them and reflects with them on how empathy, courage and hypocrisy are very relevant in their lives. Atticus tries to convey lessons to his children throughout the entire novel. One of the most important lessons that he teaches them is empathy, “You never really understand a person until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” 30.
"Ignorance, the root and the stem of every evil." -Plato (427 BC - 347 BC) In developing critical thinking skills and the attainment of broad knowledge, children are given the chance to succeed in life. As they wade through the pages of life with the ability to be critical thinkers in their bag full of life essentials, they also come to find that happiness is not something they have to work for. It is through the indoctrination children receive in childhood that they find the bridges to their goals broken and unable to be met. Children are indoctrinated in different ways by their parents, caregivers, teachers, and the occasional friend much like the prisoners of Plato's Allegory of the Cave found in The Republic.
Knowledge is not always power because the more you know does not necessarily mean you understand what you have learned. In the short story “Everyday Use”, education seemed to make a rift in the relationship not only between the mother and the daughter, but also between the sisters. Dee was one to always try and outsmart her family members always seeking answers knowing no one knew. It was mama who eventually got the community together to help send Dee to school so her daughter would be happy and satisfied. The values of heritage seem to have been lost with the gain of knowledge when Dee has gone to college.
Although it seems like one is bribing the child, soon they will be able to cooperate on their own. The reward would be unknown, and treated as a simple an act of kindness. In conclusion, spanking is an ugly way of punishing a child and a terrible attempt to get them to listen. Parents do not realize that they are modeling an aggressive response to misbehavior and so their children learn to use an aggressive response when they are frustrated (Rambsung). Once the child gets older, the child will learn to hide or lie about problems in order to avoid being hit resulting in the connection between the child and parent to be lost forever.
In this essay I want to illustrate how the thin child renounces her interests to avoid risks. The thin child first meets a pressure to conform when she is participating on the scripture lesson in church. She can't make any sense of the stories and pictures she gets confronted with and, as a result, feels guilty: 'She tried to think she might be wicket for thinking these things' [p.12]. Reading Asgrad and the Gods, as well as taking the way to school which leads her through colorful meadows [p.33-36], still allows her to live out her creativity and curiosity though, and it distracts her from the bad circumstances the second World War brings: 'It was only one thing[...], of which the thin child, having put down her bundle and gas-mask, was only one among many.' [p.36] However beautiful it may have been to live in the countryside, the thin child and her mother, who fled to the countryside, go back home after the war.
The technical convention of close-up shots is used to show the importance of education through the facial expressions which show desperation, anger and joy of the families of children applying for charter schools. During the final scenes of the documentary, we learn that some children were accepted and some were not. This makes the reader sympathize with the children who were not accepted. The symbolic convention of body language is used to show the importance of education through Ruby’s actions in the isolated classroom. On the seventh page of the book, Ruby is focused on doing her work in an isolated classroom; Ruby seemed to ignore the fact that she was isolated and fully immersed herself in her textbooks.
Her maturity is proven by the end of the novel when the children lose interest in Boo Radley. Scout learns that “Most people are [real nice], when you finally see them.” and that she shouldn’t “try to understand a person until you consider things from his point of view… until you climb into his skin and walk around in it” (281, 33). These quotes are important because, over the course of the novel, these are the main lessons she learns up until the trial and afterward. However, Scout is still incredibly confused and is still trying to understand everything. The verdict of the trial is the beginning of her transformation but she does not fully become mature until closer to the end when she fully understands the reasoning behind the outcome of Tom’s
She seems intelligent by the standards of her time and place, but her thoughts and ideas are still immature and childish, like when she speaks of her engagement with Dill. When scout starts school, she is excited to begin, learning that it is not okay to be so blunt about the truth. Unlike the other children, Scout already knows how to read and write, but for some reason her new teacher is not appreciative of that. Her teacher tells her that it is wrong, based on the fact that she is more intelligent. She tells her father, and they come up with a compromise.
