This quote exhibits the technique of recruiting supporters from various situations. On his way to building a campaign, Jimmy Carter had to first create a national organization of his own. This was a tall task because he needed many members to support him. Carter planned to accomplish this by creating an outsider’s campaign and enrolling outsiders to run it. He targeted those that lost primaries because he believed that they were in need of something to do. In fact, Carter sent personal letters that year to almost every Democrat who lost a primary election. He also knew that having these supporters invest in his effort is vital to his success. In this quote, Carter is talking about how beneficial it would be if a certain candidate loses because he could bring more supporters for him.

Analysis of "A Lesson Before Dying" by Ernest Gaines : Themes of Women and Community

Lord, Elyse. "Overview of The Giver." Novels for Students. Detroit: Gale, 1998. Literature Resource Center. Web. 27 Mar. 2016. Elyse Lord is one of the many critics who describe “The Giver” as terrifying but offering “hope and a constructive view” of the Utopian world in the book. She explains that other critics praise the book with many awards such as the Newberry Medal. Lord goes on to reason that the story is favored by different readers for its complexity, symbolism, metaphors, ambiguous ending, and can be compared similarly to classic science fiction like “Brave New World” and “Fahrenheit 451.” Contradicting this statement, Lord says that ‘librarians’, ‘educators’, and ‘students’ debate “The Giver” to be censored from public schools around the world because of its graphic scenes and ideas of infanticide and euthanasia. This includes the time Jonas witnessed his father murder a baby and throw it down a trash chute in cold blood. This is ironical compared to the language, emotion, and behaviors being censored in Jonas’s ‘Utopian’ society. Lord argues this through Anna Cerbasi of Port Saint Lucie, Florida, who asked the school board to remove a book that was about a family murdering their child for crying at night and called the book inappropriate for the sixth grade. Lord raises the question of who is to “decide which books are appropriate for which children,” and argues that it cannot be answered with not one but the many books integrated in school curricula that compose

In his book, Life, The Truth, and Being Free, Steve Maraboli wrote “Judging is preventing us from understanding a new truth. Free yourself from the rules of old judgments and create the space for new understanding.” This quote can be used to describe the changes many in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama felt after Tom Robinson, a black man, was killed for a crime he obviously didn’t commit. The people of Maycomb began to realize that the blacks of their community were judged, but no one thought of their lives from their perspective. The theme, before you can judge someone, you must walk a mile in their shoes, can be seen in both To Kill a Mockingbird and modern day society.

I think the novel ended on a negative note because many quotes and evidence in the novel leaves us in a statement and thought saying that something bad is going to happen or something bad happened. In the novel, The Giver, it states, “ The memories had fallen behind him now, escaping from his protections to return to the people of his community.” This quote means that every step Jonas took outside of the community, the more his memories didn’t belong to him anymore. They slowly started to be in the hands of the community instead of Jonas. That action had impacted the people in a negative way, which had created a prodigious problem.

In Tomi Cade’s, “The Lesson”, Miss Moore is an old and Wise Woman. She reminds me of my grandmothers because she spends her time giving younger people advice. Throughout the story, Cade uses very vivid imagery and language to create an image of the inner city in the mid 90’s. Miss Moore spends most of her time trying to help Silvia and her friends become better by teaching them lessons life lessons, stressing the importance of education, and showing them new scenery.

Many people are born into a higher social class than others. However, majority of Americans are automatically born with a struggle. According to the New York Times Class Matters, the marriage of unequals and the way people represent themselves superficially can prevent people from escalating the social class tower. There are millions of people that are dreaming of a better life, to have more opportunities and a better lifestyle not only for them but for their family as well. The stereotypes that come with marrying into an upper class society, and dressing dis-accordingly to your true social class can make the rest of society question what social class truly is.

Gladding’s begins with Ezekiel’s encounter and sharing of the news of the Temple and Jerusalem is described. The tension is heavy for the crowd does know that hearing the stories of their failing kings brings much anger and sadness. Rehoboam and his advisors’ wickedness is introduced to the crowd, and the crowd responds with distaste, since Rehoboam acted more like the official in Egypt. Rehoboam was credited by the old man for listening to the prophet that informed him to not fight Jeroboam and the northern tribes. Abijam, Rehoboam’s son, followed his father’s wicked ways by practicing evil activities that the surrounding cultures committed. The old man then reminds the crowd that the Lord sent many prophets to the kings in order for the Lord’s

I believe the primary message in the book “To Kill a Mockingbird” by Harper Lee is about the battle between good and evil. The name of the book is the first clue that someone good is going to get killed and it happens. Tom, a good man, is killed. There are a lot of mockingbirds in the book like Boo, Tom and Atticus who are all good characters but Bob and even the community are examples of evil and bad.

In the book, The Unwanted, it’s a book that tells the true story of a person who stayed behind in Vietnam after the fall of Saigon and who is now living in America. There are lots of scenes that affect me deeply, and those scenes can even change my values. For example, Lam cruelly left two pregnant women behind for himself. Nowadays, it is hard to imagine that a person who leaves two pregnant women behind in order to survive, even if he is the father of those two fetuses. And I feel the especially significant scene is the conversation between Kien and the American soldier.

Who would destroy something that contained a heart filled only with good? The answer to that can be found in the book To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee in an unjust time of unequal opportunity. The story follows the retelling of an 8-year-old girl named Jean Louis and those around her moral growth. She lives in Maycomb Alabama during the Great Depression. She has many chapters of growth including changing from afraid of a person to wanting to meet them, seeing people put on masks in order to avoid judgment, and watching an innocent man go to jail. Scout learns that to Kill a mockingbird is a sin for they have done no wrong, that people make that most meaningful mockingbirds, and the true significance of them because of the moral growth they bring about in people.

In Virtuous Minds, the two chapters that I found to be the most important and insightful are the chapters on curiosity and humility. In the chapter about intellectual curiosity Dow speaks about how Dr. Brand’s curiosity led him to develop treatments for Hansen’s disease. Dow states that Dr. rand’s “desire to understand what makes it all work- at the foundational level- forced him to go beyond the shallow or simplistic answers that most of us accept but produce no growth” (p. 57). This quote especially stood out to me because although I am a curious person, I am typically accept answers that only scratch the surface. Dow points out that this will not help my personal growth.

“People are usually willing to do special favors for a friend, and they are more likely
