In Jasper Jones, male characters are portrayed as the controlling species. An example of this would be the Shire President, Pete Wishart. He controlled and bullied his wife. He even abused his own daughter. The female characters are portrayed as less dominant and emotionally unstable. When Laura told Mrs. Wishart, her mother, that her father was abusing her, Mrs. Wishart called her a liar and defended him. This makes it seem like women did not have any natural affection for their children. In society, females were less dominant. They usually stayed at home to cook, clean, and take care of the children. The men, however, were the money makers. They worked while the women stayed home. This gave men power over the women because

Have you ever wondered why our justice system is so unfair? I am sure everyone would agree that someone who is a serial killer of infants and children deserves the death penalty even more so than someone who commits a lesser crime gets the death penalty as well. For example, a woman gets the death penalty for killing 7 men, but another woman does not get the death penalty for killing eleven plus infants and children. There is one woman behind my questioning. Throughout my research I decided to find a crime I never heard about before, which lead me to a woman named Genene Jones. Furthermore, I will discuss Jones’s life leading up to the events, the crimes she committed, as well as her life now.

She turned the paged gently and saw a picture of a cartoon horse having breakfast. “Eatin caireal,” she giggled, “wadder.” Toddler A spoke in a high pitched voice, “No…Dat no wadder. Mmilkkuh!” They both studied the book, but after a few seconds, Toddler A’s attention turned towards me as I sat there observing. “Uh,” Toddler A said as she closed the book and tossed it on the ground. She was about to stand up but noticed Toddler B’s shoes. She stood there for a second before becoming angry. She pointed to the shoes, “Me mine shoes! Me shoes.” The teacher came over and asked what was wrong. “Me shoes,” Toddler A said. Toddler B stepped back with her eyes wide open. The teacher looked down at the shoes and turned back to Toddler A. “Those aren’t your shoes,” the teacher asked in a confused voice. Toddler A shook her head up and down and went over and slapped Toddler B’s shoes, “Me shoes!” “Oh

In the words of Gary D. Schmidt of The Wednesday Wars, the qualities that I think that makes Mrs. Baker a good teacher are, her hospitality and acting mother like towards Holling. Mrs. Baker is a kind hearted, sweet teacher. She takes care of her student as if they were her children by blood, and helps them understand more literature by reading Shakespeare's novels. She might want you to do essays and a cross out a lot of answers with a red pen, but she cares for everyone.

In my opinion, Mrs. Keckley is an astounding person who Bella and Steven see as a true role model to all. Hearing her stories about how she was a slave and later found herself working for the First Lady in the White House seemed like an unbelievable tale. When I first read about her, she sounded like she has been through many hardships, tragedies, and other challenges. I picture her to be a charismatic, strong young woman who can overcome any obstacle that comes her way. I feel that Bella and Steven have similar reasons for why they enjoy Mrs. Keckley, along with her kindness towards the sons of Abraham Lincoln and how she soothes Mrs. Lincoln. Mrs. Keckley brings something new to the table for the Lincoln family and staff, a feeling of peace

In The Autobiography of Mother Jones, she can be described as a strong older woman who fight for what she believes to be right. Mother Jones seems to be a very moral person who does not shy away from confrontation. In chapter seven I saw how highly she values her word in the quote, “‘Well, I can't call him 'your honor' until I know how honorable he is. You know I took an oath to tell the truth when I took the witness stand’” (chapter seven). The idea Mother Jones states here is so simple, people must take an oath before getting on the stand just somehow they tie honor to the judge when honor may not be due or be honest. To me it always sounded like the people on the stand where trying to suck up and sort of be a teacher’s pet to the judge.
