The argument starts when the family starts getting deeper in debt due to a dry spell in Evelyn’s winnings. During the fight, Evelyn scolds Kelly about drinking. “The contest wins can’t replace the money you make from working, Dad.” This comment angers Kelly, saying that Evelyn has no right to judge him because the only thing she does all day is clean and write in her “stupid notebooks” (168). Evelyn shoots back saying that without her contest winnings, they’d be in debtor’s prison. This comment further angers Kelly, and he, being drunk enough to not realize his own strength or actually register what he is doing, pushes Evelyn in a fit of anger.
Now, the only problem in this situation with Andrew killing a soldier and sending a letter the family every week is that it’s too small of punishment. Everything in Andrew’s life is the same except him having to write the letter, but writing the letter doesn’t only remind him of the crime he did, it also reminds the family of their lost son. I don’t approve of this punishment as being the only thing Andrew has to do. If he were in jail and also had to write the letter to avoid more jail time it would be different because the punishment is greater. But yet again it comes to the point of him writing something meaningful and something that will make him regret what he has done.
The Bundrens have not form of civilized communication. They always end up disagreeing with each other.

"If everybody wasn’t burning hell to get her there, with Cash all day long right under the window, hammering and sawing at that…" (6) Clearly from this statement, Jewel felt that his family was exaggerating the issue of Addie’s death.

Mrs. Stinger Boo Radley- The mysterious Arthur Radley is blamed for virtually any unexplainable act in Maycomb. Any stealthy small crimes committed in Maycomb were his work.

The novel is about a man who influenced the actions of others yet “did not know when he had any responsibility for them and when he did not” (656). There was a time when Jack Burden believed that there was nothing but the Great Twitch, for “it gave him a sort of satisfaction, because it meant that he could not be called guilty of anything, not even of having squandered happiness or of having killed his father, or of having delivered his two friends into each other’s hands and death” (657). But after many years, he discovered that he did not believe in the Great Twitch anymore. Jack Burden “had seen too many people live and die.” He had seen the Scholarly Attorney, Lucy Stark, Sugar-Boy, Sadie Burke and Anne Stanton live “and the way of their living had nothing to do with the Great Twitch” (657). Jack Burden had also seen his friend Adam Stanton Die.

Michael Philbin Ms. Goodhall Junior English 8/5/12 Defects of the American Federal Prison System (Expo RD) The American Prison System has never been perfect, as there is no need to create a luxurious environment for the country’s criminals. However, this atmosphere of tension, violence and an overwhelming sense of binding incarceration has an effect on a prisoner’s psyche, a dangerous attribute of a person who may not always be isolated from regular society. Prison is a place of separation; a place where the delinquents of America are sent to pay for their crimes. While in prison, they aren’t met with friendly treatment or world class quarters by any means. It’s what they deserve for breaking our laws and our rules.
