Mogart plays a trick on them and on page 69 and it tells you why Uncle Farrell dies and Mogart takes the sword for himself. Uncle Farrell says “You’ve got the sword, Mr.Myers.

If you ever come to the Twin Cities, like most sheep you're going to want to go to the Mall of America. This is fine and I understand this because 1) you've been programmed to and 2) there isn't much else to see in the Twin Cities. Oh yes, I'm sure they'll tell you to see either a Twins or Vikings game. Yes, I'm sure the locals will insist you check out our incredibly mediocre downtowns. And the truly delusional Twin Citians will perhaps fool you into going to the worthless and talentless Walker Art "Museum." But all in all the Twin Cities suck and I cannot recommend you come here for much of anything.

Dally doesn't show this amount of love to the other gang members; it is mainly geared to Johnny.

In the passage when Scout and Dill meet Mr. Dolphus Raymond, a variety of literary elements are utilized by Harper Lee in order to convey the theme, that coming of age involves questioning not only society’s morals, but your own. "Be sure you put your feet in the right place, then stand firm." (Abraham Lincoln) This quote means to follow your own moral code or beliefs, regardless of what others think. A statement that ties in very well with the lessons to be learned in Harper Lee’s novel. The term coming of age refers to the process of growing up or entering into adulthood. Mr. Dolphus Raymond is a wealthy man who owns a lot of land by the river. In chapter 20, Dill and Scout meet Mr. Dolphus Raymond outside of the courtroom, there he exchanges

Hareton Earnshaw was a character that intrigued me. Catherine Linton is extremely cruel to him from their first meeting. Upon being informed that he is her cousin rather than a servant like she assumed, she is horrified and upset. Hareton is not well educated, and is unable to read. When Catherine learns of this, she is full of contempt and continually taunts her relative. In an attempt to impress her and retain his dignity, Hareton tries to teach himself. Instead of encouraging him, Catherine increases her torment, even insulting him until he burns his books. Hareton obviously feels it is pointless to try earning the respect of his cousin. Yet Catherine’s conscious cannot be quite stifled, and she works to

If someone is different than others it doesn't mean they're not equal. Many people treat others by first impressions, by what they're told, how they, and or even how they dress. It's sad, people never get to know another person before judging them, but in the story “Raymond’s Run,” by Toni Cade Bambara, Hazel learns that everyone should be treated equally and with respect.
