Miss Carolines First Day- to Kill a Mocking Bird

My first day of the second grade, I knew no one except the teacher and my younger brother. Kindergarten and first grade had been easy enough, but I was scared of the upcoming year. The only thing I knew about being the new kid was that it hadn’t panned out too great for Addie from the American Girl books. Mrs. Henson’s class was fairly quiet throughout the day, for most kids were nervous or tired. We neared the end of the day and I was ecstatic over the fact that hadn’t made a complete fool of myself. I hadn’t met anyone yet, but I thought that that would be a challenge for another day. Unfortunately, that’s not what Mrs. Henson had in mind. She sent us all out to recess with a grin plastered on her face and with me practically kicking

“Miss Caroline told me to tell my father not to teach me anymore, it would interfere with my reading.” (pg. 22)

In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird events and conflicts take place causing changes in characters. Some of the characters that are changed include Mrs. Dubose, Jem, Scout, and even Mr. Arthur Radley. Each of these events has a background to help change the characters. Mrs. Dubose is helped to change her charter in the novel by Jem reading to her, Aunt Alexandra comes to live with Atticus, Jem, and Scout changing Scout’s character, and Arthur Radley’s character is changed by the event of Jem and Scout being attacked by Bob Ewell.

As I am walking down the hall to Ms.Johnson’s room, I see something different. There is a sub today. I just really hope she isn’t as mean as she looks. When I walk into the classroom I get my folder and go to my assigned seat to start my “do now”. When the teacher walks in she says,”Everyone sit down and don’t make a noise unless you want a step!”

The tiny, sleepy, worn-out, dingy, slow-moving town of Maycomb, Alabama is where the novel takes place. The novel takes place in the early 1930s, during the Great Depression.

Atticus Finch belongs to a very, very small minority. He is one of the very few human beings who does not hate Hitler. Of course, he does not like the universally hated historical figure, but merely dislikes him. This is a major theme of Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mockingbird. One can never, without exception, hate a man. Harper Lee promotes the idea that hatred is never acceptable by creating situations with literary devices like characters, settings, and plots that demand empathy.

8. Why won’t Walter Cunningham, Jr. take Miss Caroline’s quarter? Because he doesn’t want everyone to know that he can’t afford lunch

I was hopeful that the day would be a success. It was the same routine in a new environment. Fortunately, my first day at Larned High School started like every first day before. The principal, Mr. Langdon, gathered all the students and welcomed us into a new school year. His speech filled the room with excitement and optimism for the new year. After the ground rules were set we set forth for our first class. I would never have realized the challenges I would face in Biology. My instructor, Miss Moser, started off the year with a stern no-nonsense policy. Fear swept over the room. For the first two weeks, I did not dare speak, and I did not wish to cause any trouble. As long as I did not say anything I could not be wrong. To start the class, we began reviewing what the class should already know. It was difficult to figure out what I needed to know because she had such high expectations for the class. After the longest hour of my life, the class was finally over. I bolted

Same as the other teachers Mrs.Svenson was also nice. She gave us candy and told us about herself and what we'll do in the class. After all I was thinking rthis wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Then after the class got done I headed to the cafeteria. I saw people buying food from cafeteria, but in India you could buy lunch in only some schools. Every part of the first day was like a mission that had to be accomplished by passing different types of obstacles. The more school got confusing the more interesting it was to try to understand it. After school as I walked back home I thought it wasn't bad the way I thought, but

Today Students of Mrs.Mcmanus's literacy class observed the seventh-grade students of Mrs. Holyoak’s gym class in the annex gym. Luke Cahill reports that as soon as the seventh graders entered the room you could tell that the group was a high-energy one. Right away there were to boy pushing each other around in a playful manner which also gave of the mood. The class began with a warm-up that included adding and multiplying numbers that were shot from fingers and then whoever got the answer first would run to the next corner of the gym. This warm-up lead to a very loud atmosphere where kids were flying all over the room from corner to corner screaming out answers to the math problems that appeared on their fingers. Although most of the students

“To be able to see the world through a child’s eyes and with a child’s heart meant seeing a world full of love and hope,” said Ella’s Rain. In Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, the author addresses racism, prejudice and hypocritical people in Maycomb, Alabama through the narration of a child. Scout, the narrator, is a 6 year old caucasian girl who is not prejudiced, unlike the people in the town of Maycomb. As she matures alongside her older brother Jem and their next door friend Dill, they experience their town’s prejudice against people of colour, judgement towards the oppressed and hypocrisy amongst themselves.

Thesis: The phrase of "killing a mockingbird" represents the iniquity to vitiate something good and relatively unmarred, as mockingbirds do nothing but sing beautiful songs; they are innocent and harmless. This motif can also be interpreted as a symbol of imitation, or "mocking" - the mockingbird is known for its ersatz of other birds ' songs. This mockingbird motif, the foremosttheme, is exemplified by the actions and words of three characters in "To Kill A Mockingbird" - Arthur (Boo) Radley, Tom Robinson and Jean-Louise (Scout) Finch.

To Kill A Mockingbird is a strengthening book that is instructed in classrooms today. It demonstrates how powerful the somber book can be to teach teens about society. The reason To Kill A Mockingbird is still taught today is because of its importance and clarity it give on judgement, tolerance, and acceptance. The book may leave different impressions, but things worthy to be taught and spread always has discussion.

Time is an important aspect that is repeated throughout the first season. An example of time being represented in the season is in episode 6. In the beginning of the episode there is a time lapse which shows that Walter is changing with time. During his conversation with Jesse he said “Let’s get this straight. This, the chemistry is my realm. I am in charge of the cooking and out there in the street you deal with that. As for our customers go I don't want to know anything about them.I want no interaction with them whatsoever. This operation is you and me and I’m the silent partner. No matter what happens, No more bloodshed. No more violence.” As this conversation is occurring the images that appear are of Walter doing everything he didn't

I heard a loud noise that caused me to sit straight up from lying on the ground attempting to sleep on the cold, hard concrete floor. The sounds of car engines were getting louder and louder. They suddenly stopped and men’s footsteps grew close to my cell. I heard Mr. Finch’s voice in the crowd trying to calm everyone down. The smell of whiskey was filling the air, it was so dense I could taste it on my tongue. Surprisingly out of all the men i could hear children arguing with Mr. Finch. There were deep voices of the men telling Mr. Finch to get the children out of here. Then the yells of a young girl shattered the room, I stood up quickly to try and peer through the two by two foot barred window that was a foot over my head.
