Atticus finch • Father of jem and scout • His wife died when scout was 2 “He plays with us, reads to us and treats us with courteous detachment” shows he a family man, and in maycomb that is very important. It also shows that he is a very bussy man. • He broke the tradition of living the Fitchs landing, as he went to Montgomery to study law Atticus was a very fair man, he didn’t always get paid in money as some people n maycome were very poor but he believed2 that they shouldn’t lose the right to justice, he also had a black chef he played a material role in the family and had a lot of respect from him • He is a lawyer • Believes very strongly in the law and justice and trust the law Calpurnia Really commented on the ways of white people The radleys ‘The only thing different between he and his father was there age’ Jem • Jem is a lot more mature than scout, wee see this Scout Character Summery • Unusual little girl, with her qualities and social position • She is strangely intelligent (learnt to rad before school) • Unusually confident (fights boys without fear and stands up to Miss Caroline • It is unusual for to be a tomboy in the prim and proper southern world of Macomb it is obvious she is like this because of Atticus, Chapter 2 Scout is different from other children.

At that moment, all of the prisoners stop what they're doing and just listen. For that small period of time, they all experience a piece of freedom which renews hope within them all. Music is a great way to convey the idea of freedom because teenagers who are struggling with problems often turn to music as a sanctuary from those issues and to escape reality. The symbol appears again when Andy gives Red a harmonica as a gift. Red is still hesitant to play the harmonica because he is very skeptical about believing in hope for the first time in nearly 40 years.
Before I proceed through my analogy I would like to be clear about where I am standing in this argument. I agree to an extent with Mr. Tomkey; I believe that TV can have definite disadvantages directly related to how family members communicate with one another as well as others in their lives. Although this wasn't definitively stated in the reading, it was my understanding of what the Tomkey's felt. That was so clear in this reading when the author was wondering how come the Tomkey's family can handle dinner time without watching TV. Dinner time was and still is supposed to be the time where the family members gather at the same table, each sharing his/her stories for the day.
What we think of children is very different then what they actually do. At my home, my brother was playing in the living room while I was reading a book. Meanwhile, I just started to see how he played by himself. He played his toys and games the way he knows to play them but He didn’t play them well. Not just games but also he didn’t communicate well with family members.
“After You, My Dear Alphonse” analysis “After You, My Dear Alphonse” is a short-story from 1943 by the writer Shirley Jackson. It takes place in what appears to be a small town, in what we only can imagine is America, most likely a southern state. The story is about the two young boys Johnny and Boyd coming in from their playtime to eat at Johnny’s house. Johnny’s mother, Mrs. Wilson, is the one who has cooked and prepared it all. Mrs. Wilson quickly notices Boyd’s (negro) appearance, and starts acting strange due to this, asking him questions about his family’s labor and level of poverty, and generally insinuates that because of his black heritage, that he must be poor or in some manner socially challenged.
Family gatherings are the perfect chance for the women to sit around and gossip about all the other family members and what they have done since the last holiday gathering. The children tend to separate themselves by gender to play. The boys are always playing together alone and likewise for the girls. That same thing seems to happen with the adults the men are usually hanging out together watching the game or outside drinking beer and smoking. The women tend to gather around the kitchen while they are cooking.
Dubliners: Theme Analysis Theme Analysis Poverty Although Joyce was born into a well-to-do family, his father's drinking soon drove the family into poverty. As a result, poverty is one of the major thematic concerns in Dubliners. Although Joyce never refers to his characters as "poor," he shows us their status through details. For instance, in "Two Gallants," Lenehan's abject poverty can be observed by the meager meal he consumes. He hasn't eaten since breakfast and late at night while he waits for Corley to return with money, he orders a meal of peas and vinegar with a bottle of ginger beer for his dinner.
Additionally, Joyce uses vast amounts of words to express the “gloomy” and “somber” of narrator’s heart. The story might reflect the author’s own life as a boy when growing up in Dublin. Readers would sense the boy’s life is “blind”, lonely and isolated, however, the appearance of the “brown-clad figure” girl suggests that the boy is capable of seeing happiness. ”Her name was like a summons to my foolish blood,” is an example that the narrator feels ashamed and ridiculed by his earlier inability to communicate with the girl. “Araby” as the story’s name is not only the boy’s destination where he goes against all odds, but it is the place where the cold reality
Exegesis on Lk.7: 36-50 36 One of the Pharisees asked/desired him to eat with him, and he went into the Pharisee’s house and took his place at the table. In those days, it was honourable to invite a teacher for a supper especially when the teacher was from outside of the town. They were actually reclining instead of sitting shows that they were using couches not chairs which was a sign of a banquet probably arranged in the honour of a famous guest teacher (Keener 208). Jesus dining at Pharisees house was not very normal, because often He was with poor and needy or at synagogue. Pharisees often had a wrong intention when they approached Jesus, mostly to find fault with Him.
Lucky seems happy to be working for Dove as well as living with him and there seem to be a light ahead for him. Yet after a couple of deals gone wrong, and the breaking of a rule Dove had made, Lucky is shot in the head. Firstly I want to discuss if his lifestyle was chosen by himself or if it just was a path he was set upon. Lucky is only fifteen years old. He’s living at home in the beginning, but gets kicked out by his parents because of his drug addiction.
