Leonora Sutter's Argument Essay 'Witness'

When Atticus leaves on a work trip for the Tom Robinson case, Calpurnia takes care of Scout and Jem. She takes them to her community church, The First Purchase, for black people. When they arrive, a black woman named Lula approaches them. Lula questions why Calpurnia brought white children to their church. She says, “You ain’t got no business bringin’ white chillun here-they got their church, we got our’n. It is our church, ain’t it, Miss Cal” (Lee 119)? Lula

There is a time when she gazes at her children, hugging each other while sleeping, which reminds her of Given. She states, “I think Given must have held me like that once… But another part of me wants to shake Jojo and Michaela (Kayla) awake, to lean down and yell so they startle and sit up so I don’t have to see the way they turn to each other like plants following the sun across the sky” (151). We usually expect a mother to be glad to see her children getting along with each other harmoniously. However, Leonie is indeed jealous of her children because they are doing it so well. Jojo and Kayla share their happiness and worries with one another, and their intimacy is building a wall against the outside world that no one can invade. Originally, Leonie also had a caring brother, but Given was killed by Michael’s white cousin at her early age. Therefore, young Leonie had to cope with the family grief over the death of Given, and she suddenly lost a role model that she trusted or learned from. Later, when she is asked to prepare the death of Mam, Leonie looks at the old pictures of Given, and she says “And I want him back so bad then, because I want to ask him: What should I do?” (217). The quote pinpoints that although Leonie is a parent herself, she is not definite enough to make a decision for the family. She is hopeless as there is no one giving her decisive advice and instructing her

Her part in the trials is apparently unsympathetic due to her adopted role as the leader of the girls i.e. the witnesses. This power is demonstrated through her authoritative short, sharp, to the point sentences when addressing the girls, 'Now look you. All of you.' , 'We danced.',

In the article, "For Argument’s Sake: Why Do We Feel Compelled to Fight About Everything? Witten by Deborah Tannen. She express that we live in an argumentative culture, where everyone is entitled to their own freedom of speech and rights. Tannen shows that arguments rarely lead to an understanding, but rather that an argument becomes less about the topic at hand and more about proving the opposing side wrong ( Tannen, Deborah(,2008). She tells her stories in many different form to gather the audience’s attention. She then starts to use big words and different logics to appeal to a more intellectual audience. She then starts her stories by manipulating and persuading the unintelligent audience to pull them in so they would know that she is insulting them by using the bigger words, making them feel intimidated.

The first European known to have landed in Wisconsin was Jean Nicolet. In 1634, Samuel de Champlain, governor of New France, sent Nicolet to contact the Ho-Chunk people, make peace between them and the Huron and expand the fur trade, and possibly to also find a water route to Asia. Accompanied by seven Huron guides, Nicolet left New France and canoed through Lake Huron and Lake Superior, and then became the first European known to have entered Lake Michigan. Nicolet proceeded into Green Bay, which he named La Baie des Puants (literally "The Stinking Bay"), and probably came ashore near the Red Banks. He made contact with the Ho-Chunk and Menomenee living in the area and established peaceful relations. Nicolet remained with the Ho-Chunk the

I would categorize Debra LaFave as a fixated sex offender, with a topology of high fixation/high social competence. Sex offenders who are categorized as fixated will not usually have sex with people within their own age range, appear to be emotionally undeveloped, and are overly interested in interacting with children. They will typically concentrate on young boys that are not part of their family. The offender will spend time creating a relationship with children through grooming and pre-meditation to gain their trust and acceptance. Ms. LaFave falls into the category of approach–explicit because she took the time to groom Billy, planned out the opportunity for them to be together, while trying not to get caught (CSOM, 2016).

Do teachers have a right to free speech in the workplace and can comments on personal beliefs and views be grounds for dismissal? In a fictional situation, teacher Ann Griffin is dismissed from her position as a tenured teacher after a conversation she had involving the Principal and Vice Principal in which she made the comment that she “hated all black folks.” Ann Griffin was teaching at a predominantly African-American school and after this heated conversation, the Principal Fred Watts recommended Griffin’s dismissal based on doubting her ability to treat students fairly and questioning her judgment and competency as a teacher. Was the Principal justified in dismissing Ms. Griffin? Should Ms. Griffin’s speech be protected as a First Amendment right? What precedence can be found both supporting Ms. Griffin’s dismissal and also to support her continued employment?

Over the last couple of days, I have been to reflect upon all of the monumental and impactful historical figures in American history, specifically those thriving throughout the 1700s and 1900s. After thinking about this for quite some time I believe I would be great friends with the glorious, Sojourner Truth. I am a strong believer in individualism, freedom, and equality; all things that Truth advocated for throughout her speeches and movements. Not only did she lead several women’s rights movements, she also founded various civil rights movements as she is a struggling African-American woman living in the 1800s. I believe we both have dominant strength to rise above our oppositions and make a life that we deserve. I have done this through

She is going against the word of an african-american in the 1930’s so this persuades the jury to believe what she says. Tom Robinson is a very kind and trustworthy man. All he ever wanted to do was help Mayella, but he knew he would be suspected of something. In Document D, he states “Like I says before, it weren’t safe… to be in a - fix like that.” He is saying he knew he was not suppose to be helping Miss Mayella, but he did it anyway because that was just the type of person he was. Mayella uses his skin color against him in court and it is very helpful for

Rotten. Exploitive. Faithless. The Roman Catholic church was seen as corrupt in the late fifteenth century.The populace struggled with the brazen capitalistic Roman Papacy that didn't meet the needs of its congregation. The clergy’s use of indulgences as a way to salvation lacked the piety that disciples desired. Criticism of Catholicism did not cause sweeping changes in the sixteenth century; instead, the Protestant Reformation occurred due to the confluence of events triggered by one priest, Martin Luther. (Schilling) Although some historians allege that Martin Luther’s theology was reactionary due to its roots in medieval Christianity, his beliefs that the hierarchy of the church was unnecessary and that salvation was
