Imagine you are a lawyer tasked with an impossible case, and everybody in your community is against you, but still there is a shred of hope you cling to. What might that be you ask? That to which you cling are your morals. In To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus Finch had been given the Tom Robinson case, where a black man was convicted of raping a white woman. As a single father of two children, he continues to reinforce his values throughout the trial and during his daunting task of raising his children. In To Kill A Mockingbird what Harper Lee suggests about the nature of morals is that you should try to stand up for what you believe in even if people oppose or reject your ideals. Even when faced with an insurmountable opposition you should stand up for your morals because in the end if your don't follow your beliefs you are just contributing to the problem. We should try to create a voice for what we believe in and impress that upon the next generation so they can continue to exercise their beliefs to make the world a better place.

Country music star Deana Carter performed a concert in Flora, MS on Saturday, September 23. Her concert was an outdoor concert at a beautiful venue. On the main stage, were all of the instruments, lighting, and microphones needed for her performance. As she began to sing, her performance truly was breathtaking. Not only was the weather perfect for the outdoor event, the lighting helped set the tone. As she began to sing, I heard the sound of Carter hit every single high and low now she attempted. It was truly incredible to hear someone that talented, live in concert.

It’s a warm summer day and your out cruising. You feel great, the windows are down and the breeze is brushing through your hair. To make it even better, you turn on the radio to the country station. You hear someone’s voice that is soft as an angle, but still has some sass to it. If you don’t already know who it is, her name is Carrie Underwood. Underwood was born March 10th in 1963 and lived on a farm in Muchagee, Oklahoma. Underwood started singing in church, school plays, and talent shows when she was just a young child. Underwood became a star after winning the American Idol competition in 2005. The contributions to music demonstrated by the career of Carrie Underwood proves beyond doubt that the Country Music Hall of Fame should induct this artist. Underwood’s worthiness of the award is shown in her charities, achievements, and major works.

Guitars were strumming. Vendors were yelling. Voices were singing. You probably do not know what those three things have in common. You may have a rough idea, but not anything about where it was, or what happened there. Here is what I think about when given these three ideas: a Luke Bryan concert at Wrigley Field. Many people groan at the thought of country music, however many others, along with artists, love the sound of country music. As Maren Morris beautifully serenades in her hit,"My Church", "I find my soul revival, singing every single verse. Yeah, I guess that 's my church." This song is about how listening and singing country music relaxes her and makes her forget about all of her problems. I feel the exact same way, though I had

Faith, baptism, and worship are just a few words that embody Carrie Underwood’s lifestyle and beliefs. Underwood grew up in small town Checotah, Oklahoma where her passion for singing began in her church choir. From there her talent and fame only escalated. She came into the public’s eye in 2004 when she auditioned and later won season 4 of American Idol- earning her college credit towards a Mass Communications degree that she graduated with shortly after her win (“Carrie Underwood” People). Underwood was later named the highest debuting country artist in history for her record-shattering album Some Hearts, carried by her faith-filled song “Jesus, Take the Wheel” (“Carrie Underwood” People). That is the first of many Christ centered songs

On Saturday, June 22, 2015 Lambeau stadium in Green Bay, Wisconsin welcomed Jason Aldean and Kenny Chesney. Both of them are going to their own different tour; Chesney The Big Revival and Aldean Burnin’ It Down Tour into a co-headlining night. Not having been to many concerts, this was my first country concert and it got pretty wild. Along with the amazing performances, with the powerful effect their songs had on the audiences there was a lot more drama than expected. When the concert had come to a close there were over 25 arrests and kicked out over 100 other people. This concert definitely left its mark, but might have not been for the best reason. Other than the drama over the packed in audiences this concert was truly memorable.

In many works of literature, it is often a crucial component for characters to sacrifice opportunities that arise in their lives in order to help loved ones. In Suzanne Collin’s “The Hunger Games,” protagonist Katniss Everdeen sacrifices the chance to live her own life in order for her sister, Primrose Everdeen, to not experience potential death in the arena. Another character that has similar attributes to Katniss Everdeen would be Pari II in Khaled Hosseini’s, “And the Mountains Echoed.” This novel depicts a strong relationship between parents and a daughter that results in missed opportunities due to the health risks that have developed in the parents. The fundamental values of such a character have developed through years of witnessing

In Harper Lee’s “To Kill A Mockingbird,” Mayella Ewell, a young woman as well as the daughter of Bob Ewell, lives a life of insolence and isolation in the town of Maycomb. As a Ewell, which they are familiarized as being vulgar, uneducated, and indigent, Mayella is disrespected by the people of Maycomb as well as by her father. During the court case, Atticus shows courtesy towards Mayella by addressing her as a miss and a ma’am, which is not surprising for his values of equality. Mistaking his manners with sarcasm, she replies with, “Won’t answer a word you say as long as you keep mockin’ me” (pg.181). Harper Lee is demonstrating the amount of disregard Mayella faces in her life, so much that courtesy can’t be identified as just that. Mayella finds that Atticus is ridiculing her for what she doesn’t have, respect from others. With a reputation such as Mayella’s, people treat her like an outcast. Her lonely life can be a reason to explain why she always asked for Tom Robinson’s company, she wanted to experience friendship and perhaps love for the first time. Her loneliness was so clear to see, even Scout, who still has their childhood-innocent mind, can see through it. Scout compares Mr.Dolphus Raymond’s “mixed children” to Mayella because they both don’t know where to stand in their social class, “white people wouldn’t have anything to do with her because she lived among pigs; Negroes wouldn’t have anything to do with her
