Next the mixed children are completely alone and ignored because of their background. The author demonstrates that although justice is "a right to every person" racism overrides this right. Tom Robinson is a prime example of injustice. He is wrongly accused and convicted because he is a black man. Even though he is innocent, because he is black, there is almost no chance he will win.
The story is enjoyable for its humorous portrayal of a family embarking on a vacation; O'Connor has been unforgiving in her portrayal of these characters. Misfit can be determine as sympathetic because he was wrongly punished, he had no other option than killing the family and polite and well mannered. Firstly, Misfit was wrongly accused for killing his father and was punished and sent to jail. I think Misfit did not killed his father because if he did he would remember it. He asks for the proof and paper work from cops but they did not show him.
I’m going to lose everything. I feel bad, but I can’t do anything about it. In this situation Bryce not able find employment. He learned to temporarily accept and gracefully lump of not working. His idea of not working that neurosis is largely caused by the view that he took of unfortunate of not finding employment to support his family.
He states that the worst thing about being poor isn’t because of not having enough food but not having enough money to support him in difficult times. He even motivates himself by thinking “being hungry makes food taste better” (8). The worst thing happened to him that makes him hates being poor is when his family doesn’t have enough money to bring their dog to the doctor. By saying “I want to hate dad and mom for our poverty. I wanted to blame them for my sick dog and for all the other sickness in the world.” Although he doesn’t want to blames his parent and their previous generation to have born in a poor situation, he doesn’t have any order choice.
Crooks’s little dream of the farm is shattered by Curley’s wife’s nasty comments, putting the black man right into his "place" as inferior to a white woman, somebody already seen as being inferior to everyone else on the ranch to begin with. Crooks refuses to say Curley’s wife is wrong, he accepts the fact that he lives with ever-present racial discrimination, and says he had "forgotten himself" because they’d treated him so well. Crooks self-opinion isn’t based on what he believes he’s worth, but on knowing that no matter how he feels, others around him will always value him as less. As quickly as he got excited about the
Atticus also demonstrates that discriminating against blacks is immoral to his kids. First of all," he said, "if you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you'll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view […] until you climb into his skin and walk around in it." (85-87) Atticus makes the connection of blacks in this time and tries to get his kids to understand the injustice that was existant at the time. This showed that not only did Atticus care about the grief it would bring him, but he cared about the knowledge that his kids were absorbing throughout this time.
Her prejudice side shows through on their trip when she shares stories about a little nigger boy. During the trip, she complains about the many differences in the past and present behaviors of good people (O'Connor). John Desmond tells the readers that the Grandmother’s lying and selfishness are directly the cause of the accident and death of her family (Desmond). The Grandmother’s sins should not be a death sentence but are they forgivable in the eyes of Jesus? The Grandmother tried to convince the Misfit he was a good man in order to save herself (O'Connor).
Aunt Alexandria too shows this behavior when Scout asks if Walter Cunningham can come over for lunch. Aunt Alexandria forbids that action saying, "…he is trash, that's why you can't play with him. I'll not have you around him, picking up his habits and learning Lord-knows-what” (301). Atticus taught the children that everyone is equal no matter what color your skin is or how rich you are, and Aunt Alexandria has a narrow-minded view of that belief. Aunt Alexandria exemplifies the racist part of society, while Atticus symbolizes the good in
I am trying to a imagine a prominent white Harvard professor arrested for breaking into his own home, and coming up with nothing. I am trying to see Sean Penn or Nicolas Cage being frisked at an upscale deli, and I find myself laughing in the dark. It is worth considering the messaging here. It says to black kids: “Don’t leave home. They don’t want you around.” It is messaging propagated by moral people.
Barriers to Critical Thinking Enculturation, denial, and schemata are three obstacles that people, like this author, have worked on removing from their thinking skills to have more productive critical thinking. Critical Thinking is a key tool to gain knowledge on subject matter known and unknown. Enculturation encompasses everything you learned from your upbringing by your parents, to the community you live in, and everything in between. Enculturation has been an obstacle in many cases when someone introduces world views into a conversation. This author was raised in the southeast of the United States giving him a minor view of what the rest of the world may think about a particular situation.
