Similarities Between Mockingbird And Rules

Victoria Price could be compared to Mayella Ewell in how she behaved in the court during the testimony. Victoria Price was rude, ignorant, and lying when she was getting questioned, and so was Mayella. All she answered to try to keep herself away from getting asked was, “I don’t know,” and “No.” (“Testimony of Victoria Price and Dr. R.R Bridges”) After Atticus, the lawyer asked Mayella if she remembers Tom beat her in the face, she responded saying, “No, I don’t recollect if he hit me. I mean yes I do, he hit me.” (Lee 248) This shows that her accusation was bogus.

In both the excerpts " To Kill a Mockingbird" and in " A Part of the Sky" both the young kids Walter Cunningham and Robert Peck are polite boys that share some similarities. Sameness on family background, life style, education etc.

Example from an artist name Melissa Calderon, Melissa Calderon describes herself as a “Puerto Rican Bronx girl, born and raised.” She is a full-time artist who spends everyday in her studio across the street from the Bronx Museum creating multimedia pieces. During a stint of unemployment, she sought relief in the creation of a series of embroidered work that reflected her experience of seeking work and the changes that accompanied this challenging time in her life. “The My Unemployed Life series” took over a year to complete. Maria stitched six to nine hours everyday and there are a total of 90,000 stitches in the project.

In the Scottsboro Trials, there were 9 boys all accused falsely of a crime they did not commit. Knowing how much worse the racist back in the early 1900s was shows we have come a long way, but are still far from a completely non-racist world. To Kill A Mockingbird is also a great example on how things were back then, seeing as the two cases carry the nearly exact same things. Both were falsely accused by poor white women that had no medical evidence provided at the ‘crime scene’. Both of these things were horrible things, but have helped us move on from our past mistakes. In today’s world, most of the racism has moved on from blacks, but is still there, and onto the Middle Eastern population. Hopefully, people will learn from our mistakes

I think that Harper Lee was inspired by the events of the Scottsboro Boys to write To Kill a Mockingbird based of the following evidence. Several of the characters in To Kill a Mockingbird are very similar to people that were involved in the Scottsboro Boys trials. The setting in a small Alabama town are similar and that both of the accoused rapes are both under similar circumstances that a black man was accused by a white women. This essay will be comparing characters from the book to real people from the Scottsboro Boys trials. Including Haywood Patterson, Tom Robinson, Victoria Price, Mayella Ewell, Samuel Leibowitz, and Atticus Finch.

There is one central idea in to kill A Mockingbird, the central idea of the story is how others judged anyone different than them without having information they were prejudiced. This was divided throughout the story as 2 different characters. The first character was Boo Radley he was

“We know all men are not created equal in the sense some people would have us believe...some people have more opportunity because they’re born with it”(Lee 274). This phrase shows Atticus’ opinion about society and the luck some people are born with. The novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee contains some similarities with the Scottsboro boys case in which a few black men are accused of something that they didn’t do in the early 1900’s and are taken to trial in which it results into unexpected consequences. Justice has been routinely denied to African Americans throughout the past century due to having an all-white jury who believe in the false accusations made by white women which has made a replacement of lynching in the court system.

From the late 1800s to the mid 1900s there was a lot of controversy within the United States concerning race. Due to this time being very unconstitutional, it inspired many articles and books on the topic. Such as the article, A Brief History of Jim Crow and the book To Kill A Mockingbird. In reading both A Brief History of Jim Crow and To Kill A Mockingbird, I found many similarities between the two. First, everything is segregated by race. Second, false accusations were always being made against colored people, and white supremacy was largely believed. Lastly, violence wasn’t an uncommon subject to hear about when concerning colored people. Keeping different races apart was a huge priority in the South.

Comparison There are many similarities and some differences between the Scottsboro trial and the trial of Tom Robinson in the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird. No crime in American history produced as many trials, convictions, reversals, and retrials as did an alleged gang rape of two white girls by nine black teenagers on a southern railroad freight run on March 25, 1931. The author of To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee, was a young girl during the Scottsboro trial and based the trial of Tom Robinson in her novel off of the Scottsboro trial of 1931. Both trials were based off of false accusations against black men. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Tom Robinson was accused of rape by Mayella Ewell.

To Kill A Mockingbird is a book that a reader can turn again and again, gaining new insights and knowledge into life each time. Sometimes an author uses a motif- a frequently repeated incident or idea -to get a certain theme across to the reader. In To Kill A Mockingbird, Lee uses motifs to clarify her messages or insights about life. Three specific motifs that Lee uses throughout the whole story are the mockingbird, courage, and walking in someone else's shoes.

In New Spain, the Bourbon monarchies in 1808-1810 encouraged some creoles leaders to strike for total independence under the cover of Ferdinand. On July 1808, Napoleon’s capture of Charles the VI and Ferdinand the VII, and capture of Spain reached Mexico causing intense debate between Mexican elites. Creoles and Peninsulars prepared to take power and ensure their group would have power over the other; New Spain, like other Spanish colonies, went through the crisis of the Bourbon monarchy from 1808- 1810. Yet, in Mexico what pushed for independence from Spain would be the elite’s race for power.

There are several different aspects of the mind under soft determinism. The mind is compared to an iceberg — only the very tip of it is showing above the water while the rest is hidden from view. The actions are the top of the iceberg while all of a person’s thoughts are hidden under the surface. The iceberg could also represent the subconscious versus the conscious where the majority of work is in the subconscious while the conscious only have a small power but ultimately is the seen action. Another breakdown of the human mind is into the parts of the personality from Sigmund Freud. The three parts of the human psyche are the id, ego, and superego. The id, which represents desires, is functioning 90% of the time subconsciously. The ego or
