Dolphus is explaining that he does not care if people disapprove but at least he gives them a reason as to why he does it. “Secretly , Miss Finch, I’m not much of a drinker, but you see they could never, never understand that I live like I do because that’s he way I want to live” (Lee 228). Dolphus Raymond wears a mask so that he is not judged far worse than he ‘should’ be (in the opinion of the Maycomb citizens) because he lives differently than what they deem appropriate. Another example of a person wearing a mask is Tom Robinson. “No suh, I never looked at her” (Lee 223).
My thought on this is that the lawyer is feeling sorry for Bartleby. The lawyer believes that the refusal means that something has disarmed him. It is more of a confusing for the lawyer because he knows what the potentials of the character, the lawyer even starts to blame himself for Bartleby’s refusing to do anything. Bartleby never leaves the office so the lawyer begins to watch him carefully. Why is the lawyer so concerned about the change in his behavior?
I don't really think the narrator feels sympathy for Emily. I see the narrator as one of the gossipy townspeople that only take interest in Emily for selfish amusement, and to interfere with her life. I see the townspeoples' comments "Poor Emily" more as a statement of pity that she couldn't be like the rest of them, than as a statement of real concern and sympathy for her. 3. I don't think that it's believable that the pharmacist would give Miss Emily the poison, because, as he stated, she had to state her reasons for wanting the arsenic by law, and she clearly refused to.
He readily admits that the current state of society is due to the cowardice of people like himself, who would not speak out against book burning when they still could have stopped it. He berates himself for being a coward, but he shows himself capable of acts that require great courage and place him in considerable danger.Clarisse McClellan,a beautiful seventeen-year-old who introduces Montag to the world’s potential for beauty and meaning with her gentle innocence and curiosity.

Quote Analysis for The Crucible by Arthur Miller “Parris: …Let me know what you done there. Abigail, do you understand that I have many enemies?”(Miller 1.8). Parris has just learned that his daughter and niece have been involved in the summoning of spirits. Instead of worrying about their reputation as the participants, he immediately worries about his own name. This immediately shows that Parris is not the Godly character he is set up to be by the town and foreshadows that he is a corrupt leader in the village and that he will eventually be an antagonist.
This also could be used to describe to describe his view on life seeing that he thought people were “boring” if they were just like everyone else and cared about the little details. The author also uses italics to emphasize words like in this sentence: “I mean if they’re running and they don’t look where they’re going I have to come out from somewhere and catch them”. Just as the Salinger used italics for the same purpose, to show how Holden only cared about the main idea, which in this case was his unrealistic role as the “Catcher in the Rye”. Holden seemed to try to get the point of what he was trying to tell his sister while she kept on correcting him. Another strategy used by the author to effectively
To Kill a Mockingbird "Ignorant individuals are those who refuse to see the world through the eyes of another." - Matthew Michael James once said.

Holden describes Stradlater as a sexy bastard and maybe think that Jane is too much of an innocent girl. This could be a sign of his post traumatic stress disorder that he developed after Ally’s death. Session analysis: Holden was pressured to do Stradlaters homework which he clearly did not want too. Holden has a problem of saying no or telling people what to do. He is showing how he just wants to be left alone sometimes.
First, she is a naive girl, who is basically taken advantage of by an older man. Then her family is turned against her, because of her alleged actions. Since her family doesn't understand the relationship that she and Pete share they accuse her of things that she did not do. The friction between her and her family forces her out, but with nowhere to go she must fend for herself anyway necessary on the streets. The situation that Maggie ends up in is not her fault, but the faults of the actions, or inactions of the people around her.
It proposes that corruption is the result of poor selection practices that fail to screen out applicants who are unsuitable for public service. (Police Quarterly, 2004) A new officer has high ambitions but little exposure to reality as far as the police world is concerned.

The new officer must establish some mutual trust and reliance with the senior officers that could possibly be corrupt. If the senior officer is corrupt the likelihood of sanction is negligible, then the young officer will accept the status quo and become corrupt.
