Harper Lee's novel To Kill a Mockingbird occurs during the Great Depression. Despite the setting taking place fifty years after slavery had officially ended, Maycomb County is depicted as an immensely segregated and prejudiced town. As a result, many of the townspeople assume the characteristics of other residents through town gossip and rumors. Because having a strong opinion on controversial issues in the town could lead to cruel consequences, many of the residents’ opinions and ideas are greatly influenced by others. The fear of being judged and rejected from society causes many of Maycomb County’s people to conceal the truth about the false gossip which hoodwinks the others into misinterpreting and believing the gossip. Miss Maudie Atkinson, a young widow, is one of the few characters in the novel that displays her own individuality and protests against what she does not believe to be true. Miss Maudie's positive trait of bravery makes her an asset to the Maycomb community because through her distinctiveness, she becomes a role model for individuals such as Scout Finch.

Through twelve years of school the teacher that stands out is my band teacher, Amanda Posey. She made me a better person, helped me grow up, and taught me many skills that I will use. She has made a positive impact and difference on my life. Posey has a passion for teaching music, teaches life lessons, and challenges her students making her an amazing teacher.

She is someone I feel I could look up to and use her journey to help me. I am going to enjoy meeting with her more over the school year, as I may need her to answer more questions along my journey. She is an inspiration to me, because even when obstacles got in the way of her fulfilling her career she took hold of the situation and kept moving forward. I do not know anyone else who would have kept moving forward. I believe she can teach me a lot, because she has seen all the things that I have to look forward to, the good and the

Over the years I have had the pleasure to work with a plethora of excellent teachers. Many of whom have had a lasting impact on me both as a performer and educator. The few teachers that have stand out were the perfect mixture of both great performer and teacher, but most importantly they seem to be heavily invested in my successes. The following teachers are just a few that fit this mold.

Our differences and peculiar quirks make us who we are. Ironically, individuals who are courageous and bold are often torn down by their peers who feed off their self-confidence. A statement by Barbara Jordan advises, “We as human beings must be willing to accept people who are different from ourselves.” According to the short stories The Bass, the River, and Sheila Mant, The Hostage, and The Fanclub, the idea that human beings should be willing to accept others who are different from themselves is developed through displaying the effects caused by positive or negative choices made by different characters.

Honorable teachers are those who are a daily encouragement and inspiration and it commonly goes unappreciated. However, the gratitude I feel toward Diane Starkey is insurmountable because of the significant impact she has made in my life. Starkey has given me wisdom in her classroom, advice for life, and taken me by the hand and been one of the most remarkable friends I have had.

My middle school theatre teacher, Mrs. Julie Groover, is the teacher who has inspired me the most. She serves as the director for the middle school musicals, as well as a full-time theatre teacher. She is kindhearted and industrious, and she serves as a wonderful role model to her students.

I believe Mrs. Jones’s kindness changed Roger and now he realizes he doesn’t have to steal purses. If you don’t know, Roger, a 14 or 15 year old boy, tries to steal Mrs. Jones purse. She takes him and cleans him up. Mrs. Jones begins to cook and asks Roger if he is hungry. She turns around and cooks. Mrs. Jones turned her back on Roger while cooking to see if he would steal her purse. While she is cooking, Roger began to realize that he didn’t want Mrs. Jones to not trust him. So Roger asked. “Do you need somebody to go to the store”. She replied, “No”. He really wanted Mrs. Jones to trust him. On page 32, the author said, “And he did not want to be mistrusted now”. As you can see from the story, he is beginning to start changing. You can

A mother is usually remembered as a caring figure who protects and instructs her children throughout the first part of their lives. Whether she is on a new land, in an old house, or lost in an unfamiliar world, she is there watching over her children. Mothers stay with their children forever, except for in the super state of Oceania in George Orwell's "1984". In Oceania, memories are false and thoughts are crimes. In this world, only Winston Smith clings to his distant past and to the memory of his mother who disappeared when he was young. Although Winston's mother never appears in 1984, Orwell uses this character to advance the action of the plot, and to demonstrate changes in Winston's character.

My favorite character in the novel is Miss Maudie. She is my favorite because she is very understanding towards the children, never imposing her own point of view onto them, like Aunt Alexandra, but taking them seriously. Also, she does not treat them like children, but as if they are equals, and she always prepared to agree with the children. Miss Maudie is very practical, never dwelling on the past, but always looking to the future. For example, when her house burned down, she did not dwell on it, but immediately planned for the future. That is why Miss Maudie is my favorite character.

Ms. Roseworth is a 64 year old woman living in the city of Boston. She has lived in England for most of her life, but moved to Boston because of a her education. After finishing her education, she loved the city so much that she decided to stay there. Ms. Roseworth definitely has enough money to appreciate and afford the finer things in life. She has poured her earnings into many fine china sets which she collects from around the world. Currently, Ms. Roseworth leads the boring life of an accountant. What this character really craves for is some excitement in her tedious life. Her dream is to become an FBI agent who can solve any crime. She thinks that this job would suit her well because of her ability to solve mysteries and think logically.

I finally found a place where I fit, tutoring, where I used my knowledge for the benefit of others. Whether it was helping an ELL student with prime factorization by conversing in a mix of Somali and English, or explaining how a slope works to one of my fellow high school peers, I did my best to make an impact on someone's life. Whenever I tutor students, I feel the same kind of pride a parent would feel when they see their children succeed. The activity itself requires a combination of my innate kindness, and strive to learn new things, as well as my ability to communicate with others. It’s something I enjoy and plan on doing at the university. I want to change a student's life just as Cecilia changed

I believe that every successful student has either one or two teachers to inspire and motivate them. Koua Yang, my Asian American Studies teacher has such a bright personality that motivates many students to strive for success. His uniqueness of teaching; connecting each and every lesson to his personal life, his dedication to help improve student's education and his commitment as a tennis coach has motivated me to strive for only

Scout first shows growth when she has her contact with racial hypocrisy. The missionary circle vividly conveys to the readers the insights into double-faced white citizens of the Maycomb County. Mrs. Grace Merriweather, a devoted member of the Circle, continues in mentioning about a Christian explorer who helped an African tribe named the ‘Mrunas’. She asserts that they are saved by his glorious help and with the light of Jesus Christ. Ironically, the way she treats the African Americans in her own community is quite different. She makes rude comments on her black maid, Sophy, calling her a “sulky darky” who just ruins your day in your kitchen. In spite of Mrs. Merriweather’s commitment to God, she reveals her hypocritical and condescending
