When Atticus was defending somone or helping someone out he would always put himself forward and do as much as he could. He mad thispoint clear and stayed with it. Though when he was just enjoying his everyday life he seemed to take a step back and be more enclined to be quieter and let people go about their own bussiness. From how Atticus acts, Jem and Scout learn how to deal with people and how to act around them. He teaches them how to address people politely and how to show respect towards others.
Reb Saunders, Danny’s stringently tzaddik and Hasidic father, refuses to engage in conversation with his son, with the exception of discussing the Talmud. “He doesn’t talk to me very much…he wishes we could all talk in silence”(16) Danny briefly explains the irony of his father’s teachings to Reuven while they reminisce in the quiet hospital room. A disconnect of communication in their father-son relationship is apparent within the short conversation between Danny and Reuven as Danny explicates Rebs’ idea that the message acquired by silence is greater than a message attained by speaking. Soon after, Reuven ventures five blocks down to the Saunders quarters to meet Saunders. “(The room quiets.)
Good parents mirror the fatherhood of God when they administer the short-term pain of discipline to shape a child's long-term character. As the Bible says, "The Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son" (Hebrews 12:6). Father = love As a parent, you've probably received a small taste of how God feels as "our Father in heaven." When parents
Atticus uses this approach not only with his children, but with all of Maycomb, and yet, for all of his mature treatment of Jem and Scout, he patiently recognizes that they are children and that they will make childish mistakes and assumptions. Ironically, Atticus’s one insecurity seems to be in the child-rearing department, and he often defends his ideas about raising children to those more experienced and more traditional. Atticus Finch isn’t just an ordinary father. He teaches his children things no parent of that time period, or even our time period would even think of doing. Atticus tries to show his children how the world works from other people’s point of view.
CIRCUMCISION: The Decision Parents make decisions for their sons for almost everything including what schools they attend to what is good for their health. When boys grow up to be men, they are faced with some of the same decisions. The decision regarding to circumcise an infant son or not has been a topic of discussion for centuries and is very controversial. However, whether the decision is made by the parents or later in life, circumcision is recommended. The benefits of circumcision include preparation for religious beliefs, reduced health problems, and for social reasons.
The father is all about his son, probably the best a father could be to protect his son. His stand- point on God is he wants his son to have something to believe in when he is gone. He tries to convince the child, and possibly himself that God is still an active cause to believe in, “My job is to take care of you. I was appointed to do that by God” (77). Here and there he will make small references for the kid even though his belief is cloudy.
A father's influence on his son's personal development is often unseen but nonetheless real. How a young man treats and respects women, his mother is normally a direct connection with watching how his father interacted with his mother and other women. A young man will observe how his dad or positive male role model should deal with conflict and differences and how his dad interacts with other men. He will learn how men talk, how they relate with one another and how they deal with masculine issues. One of the most intriguing aspects of The Odyssey is the relationship between Odysseus and Telemakhos, his son.
Sideways learning involves maintaining a mindful state that is characterized by openness to novelty, alertness to distinction, sensitivity to different contexts, awareness of multiple perspectives, and orientation in the present. The book begins with a tale regarding a dad trying to teach his son something. The father sends the boy teachers in order to teach him and each time the boy returns home, the father is disappointed that he hasn't "learned." Langer states that this is just a result of the boy being distracted and attracted by other things. It's not neccesarily bad, but creative and can lead to better things.
He says, that as a consequence of the way he was raised he is "inclined to reserve all judgments" about other people (page 5). His saying this makes it seem like we can trust him to give a fair unbiased account of the story that he is telling, but we later learn that he does not reserve all judgments. Nick further makes us feel that he is a non-partisan narrator by the way he tells of his past. We come to see that Nick is very partial in his way of telling the story. This is shown when he admits early in the story that he does not judge Gatsby because Gatsby had an "extraordinary gift for hope, a romantic readiness".
Even though they don’t like the company of others, the speaker has found a place where they can feel secure by themselves. “Space around me where my soul can breathe, I’ve got body that my mind can leave.” The use of personification in ‘soul can breathe’ creates the idea that the speaker has found a new level of peace while not belonging. Similarly in Shakespeare’s play, a place where people feel secure is in the Forest of Arden, a place where people have chosen to exile themselves. “Hath not old custom made this life more sweet than that of painted pomp?” The used of the plosives in ‘painted pomp’ adds the disgust of a life where everyone depends on you, showing not belonging can bring delight. In the song, the speaker makes it obvious that they don’t want to include anyone, or to be included.
