Scout goes to school for the first time and detests it; she didn’t even want to come out of her room. Because she had to wear a dress every day and Jem would laughed at her. She would get into fights with the boys a lot at school. Jem finds gifts apparently left for them in a knothole of a tree near the Radley property. He would keep this to himself for many months; he kept them in a small box in his room. But in the back of his mind he knew Boo left them for him but didn’t know why.

The Native Americans played a huge role in American Literature. The foundation of American Literature is due to the oral tradition of Native Americans. Various tribes told stories to their youth about their cultural beliefs. The Onondaga thought ¨ The Earth On turtle's back¨ dealt with the creation of the world. The Modaco’s ¨When Grizzlies Walked Upright¨ explained how the their people evolved. In the story “the Navajo legend” describes the creation of men and women. “The Iroquois Constitution” documents how government was created. This paper will explore how the Native Americans oral traditions teach life's lessons with stories of their customs, supernatural and nature.

When the kids get an air rifle for Christmas Atticus won’t tell them how to shoot it, for they should learn on their own, but he doesn’t give them one rule to follow and that is never to kill a mockingbird. That was the first time Scout heard Atticus say it was a sin to do something. So Scout went over and asked Miss Maudie about it. In response she says, “Mockingbirds don’t do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. they don’t eat up people’s gardens, don’t nest in corncribs, they don’t do one thing but sing their hearts for us. That’s why it’s a sin to kill a mockingbird.” In one part of the book the author put in about Mr. Underwood writing about the death of Tom Robinson, but in it he adds that it is a sin to kill a cripple. I think in the book Tom had such a big part in it because Tom and the mockingbird are in a way alike.

To Kill a Mockingbird starts off with Jean Louise “Scout” Finch, the narrator telling a story about how a few years ago her brother Jem broke his arm. There was no real story on how the accident really happened but there are stories on how it started. They blamed the whole accident on their ancestor, Simon Finch for moving to Alabama in the first place.Atticus, Jeans’ father went to Montgomery to study law, then moved back to Maycomb. Maycomb is where Jean, her brother Jem, their father Atticus, and their cook Calpurnia all lived. Jean and her brother were not a big fan of Maycomb because they thought it was a real boring town, with long hot summer days that never had anything to do or see. When Scout was two, her mother died of a heart attack but she never had no real memories of her.Scout and Jen were fascinated with the Radley house. When Mr. Radley died, the rumor got around that the house was haunted, and his son moved into it. No one ever saw the son Nathan or Boo but they knew he was in there. Jean was going into first grade and Jem was going into fifth. Caroline Scouts’ teacher, got mad at Jean because she already knew how to read and write, she picked it from her dad reading to her every night, but she said his dad was teaching her the wrong way. She picked up writing from Calpurnia because she made her write a chapter out of the bible on rainy days. Miss Caroline

To Kill a Mockingbird is told from the view of Jean Louise (Scout) Finch. It is through her we are introduced to the social injustice, racial prejudice and problems rife in Maycomb’s society. Through Lee’s use of characters, objects and events we see how these issues are permeated into society, and I will be delving into these and explaining how they present the town of Maycomb.

Nelson Mandela, former President of South Africa, once said, “I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.” Mandela was an anti-apartheid revolutionary, politician, and philanthropist. His life experiences and the quote he left us with show a direct reflection to the lives in many characters in Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird. In this novel, one of the main characters was Atticus Finch. Mr. Finch’s life was very similar to Mr. Mandela’s, as he was appointed to represent Tom Robinson for the charge of rape against a white woman in Maycomb, Alabama. Deep inside, the reader can feel Atticus’ internal fear, but his courage to

This article is about a case, that the Oregon Humane Society received the report and indicating that a woman named Amanda Newcomb was abusing and neglecting her dog, Juno. Juno was taken into custody and transported him into the Humane Society, where he received veterinary care as well as tests. Juno’s blood tests later reveals that he was starving that accounted for his emaciate. Amanda was subsequently cited for second-degree animal neglect. The Amanda originally challenge the court of taking her dog away as an unlawful seizure, she dropped that challenge and instead argued that the blood test results shouldn't have happen. Claiming the police had unlawfully searched the owner's property -Juno- without the necessary warrant required.

I want to introduce a book whose title is “To Kill the Mockingbird”. The author of this book is Harper Lee. The mockingbird in the book means that the man who is willing to help others who are in trouble. They never do harmful things to others and we should not hurt them.

To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the most influential books in the world. This book has such great meaning and ideals behind the story that people naturally can’t help but like the story. It shows a lot about mankind and includes several quotes on how you should live your life. It also shows the importance of moral education. Throughout the story Atticus is teaching his own children how to live their life. The author allows to the readers to take in these lessons as if they are Scout. By the end of the story Scout has lost some of her innocence and has become less like a mockingbird. This helps readers realize who the mockingbirds are when they were one, going to be one. The main reason this book is so inspiring is because it allows the reader to go inside the world of Scout learn the lessons every child should learn and come back out with a greater understanding of the world.

Racial relations have always been hard. No matter, if they were between Christians and Muslims, Germans and Jews, or even the White and Black men, we have always been racially prejudiced as a whole people. A lot of countries’ government workers like to separate the minority just because of their skin color or the sound of their voice, especially, the white and black men in the United States. Many families are still not letting their daughters date a dark skin. Many cops are literally arresting African Americans for everything. It hasn’t changed much through history. I believe all we have done to change this prejudice is getting rid of an abundance of segregation laws and many more friendships are biracial. Our history of prejudice is horrible, yet it is evolving into something a little smaller, such as, the Tom Robinson case in the ‘30s, the Scottsboro Trials in the ‘30s, the Emmet Till Murder Trial, and also the case of Bruce v. Samuels.

This year, we read a few different texts. Of Mice and Men, Farewell to Manzanar, and To Kill a Mockingbird all taught me many valuable life lessons. In To Kill a Mockingbird, it taught me that people are people, and you should never judge somebody based on social class or race. Before you start to judge somebody, you need to put yourself in their shoes and look at the situation based on their perspective. The life lesson taught in Farewell to Manzanar is to always have a positive attitude towards everything in life, and if you have hope, you can overcome many difficult situations. In Of Mice and Men, it taught me that sometimes, dreams are not meant to be attained, but they are still meant to be strived for. Your friendship will always be with you, and sometimes, sacrifices have to be made for people that you care about.

Throughout the Colonial Period, literature has focused on making connections to oral traditions and sharing stories. With the rapid modernization of society and decrease in the verbal sharing of stories, many people have turned to writing down these anecdotes to conserve their significance. For example, some Native Americans have begun to share their enduring

Overlooking the turquoise Torch Lake nestled on the side of a cliff sat the spectacular Petosky rock castle of the Native American Boone tribe. Prince Liwanu sat on a sweeping porch meditating on the refection of the sinking sun shooting magenta rays on the sparking water surface. A storm was imminent, delaying his trip to New Mexico. He was on a quest for an Indian princess to wed. A fat raindrop plopped on his nose and then as if the sky was a suitcase it dumped its watery contents on the world below. Running Drenched the prince escaped the deluge and entered by the sliding glass doors that led to the great hall. His mother looked up from her seat, by the blazing fire and smiled warmly at him. Her eyes twinkling eyes smiled, "Come, my
