Walter had begun to see things different. Walter had traveled to other parts of New York City, but his world, of course, was Harlem. Walter also had hard time writing about Harlem because it was turning into the ghetto. One morning Walter started his formal observations, beginning at 125th street and the Hudson River. When Walter was walking along 125th street, he was seeing what he had been seeing all his life. Walter continued across 125th until he reached the building where unity insurance was located. Unity was where he had gone once every three months to make insurance payments for his parents. In chapter 9 it talks about sonnets form Portuguese. Walter seventh and eighth grade year which were his special progress did in one year. Walter had not had no major fights and for the depression of his father. Walter sister Imogene had come to Harlem to live with George Myers. Walter spent his summer divided between playing basketball and reading.

These circumstances where Walter causes inconvenience in school is a recurring incident. Walter’s ineptitude to behave himself proposes that he is a character who is careless who just shrugs off

Harper Lee’s Novel To Kill a Mockingbird details the life of young Scout Finch and brother Jem Finch, who is growing up in a time of racial uniqueness. Jem and Scout Finch are what most would call a typical family growing up in the small Alabama town of Maycomb. They encounter many different obstacles during their childhood missions with many characters making the novel an interesting read. Throughout the book, Lee is showing Jem and Scout grow up and become mature young adults. This novel, written by Harper Lee, demonstrates the themes of growing up, Innocence and most importantly, racism.

Walter is one of the characters who influence the plot the most. He lies and is always arguing with someone. For example, when George asked Walter if he has been to New York. Walter said, “Plenty of times” when he really hasn’t been at all. Also, Walter insults George by saying “Why all you college boys wear them fagg***- looking white shoes?”. This says Walter doesn’t really care about other people’s feelings. Also, his actions,” (An irritable mimic)

In chapter one “roots”, it’s mainly describing Walter family history a where he comes from. For example he describes how his mother died and that’s while giving birth. Also how he imagines his mom through his sister “when I imagine my mother I think of a young woman with the same wide smile as my sister. I wish I could know her. ” And that’s was something from his family history in chapter

A character who changes throughout the story, Walter goes from being a selfish person with no desire for anyone else but himself and their goals to someone who cares for his family and wants what will be the best for them. Throughout the story he realizes that what he is doing making him lose what ca be the best for his family, the reason why he changes from be the selfish man to a loving and caring man. Also his family does accept his new ways and forgets his old

Along with them is they’re family’s and friends. They all have a dream that they would like to carry out in the play and it is apparent due to their actions as characters. Each have unique and more or less obvious issues in the play that show through with how they act when it comes to other characters as well as symbols like money and social issues. Walter is the one who cares most about money, though their family may not blend with the rest in the neighborhood, he seems to be the one to actually feel that economic difference and

Chapter 14: The incident with Atticus and the Kids was enough to make Aunt Alexandra shut up about the Finch Family Pride, just in time for Scout to get some hints that the townspeople are obsessed with the Finch Family Shame. After hearing a comment around town, Scout asks Atticus what rape is. Atticus tells her it is a "carnal knowledge of a female by force and without consent”. Scout doesn't understand the definition and asks Atticus why Calpurnia wouldn't explain it to her, leading to story about how Calpurnia took Scout and Jem to her church. Aunt Alexandra doesn’t like this idea, and tells Scout “no” when Scout asks Atticus if she can visit Calpurnia.

However, Walter is forced to put his dreams on hold. Before Lena gave Walter the left over insurance money, she told him that she went and bought a house for the family. This made Walter extremely angry and he exploded, just like it’s described in the poem by Langston Hughes. The poem also shows how when a dream is deferred it can become a “heavy load.” This describes Walter perfectly because he constantly has the load of trying to be the head of the house hold and to provide for his family weighing him down. After Walter almost destroys the dream of the family by having their own house, he realizes the struggle behind the ownership of a house and refuses to sell it to Karl. At the beginning of the play Walter’s idea of a “man” is consumed by materialistic things. Walter wanted only to change the circumstances of the situation he was in and his attitude has a significant impact on his wife, mother, and sister as they struggle in their own ways. His transformation throughout the play is noble. It brings positive hope to the family, along with pride and unity. Walter has found that he has the ability to change himself regardless if he doesn't have the ability to change the circumstances. Walter ultimately becomes a better husband, son, brother, and father when he realizes that this is a victory despite the

Walter, perhaps the most dynamic character in the play, finally sees the light and realizes the importance of family. He goes from being an incredibly selfish, greedy man, to maturing for the sake of others in his life. Thankfully, the man who would only do good for himself, puts his pride aside and sacrifices his dreams so the rest of the Youngers could fulfill theirs

One major reason Atticus takes the case is that he knows as a parent he has to do the right thing. In chapter nine of To Kill a Mockingbird Atticus says, if he didn't take the case he wouldn’t be able to live with himself or be a good parent to Jem and Scout (To Kill a Mockingbird, 1960). Ann Althouse says, yes, he does take the case, but he has the option of other lawyers placed in his position to not take the case (Althouse); Atticus does not take the case because he must take it, rather he takes it because it is in his nature to help others out although he might not want to involve himself. Althouse justifies this taking a scene from chapter ten of To Kill a Mockingbird when the mad dog is on the loose and Sheriff Heck asks him to shoot

Summary: Scout and Jem are the most dynamic characters (but they are not the only ones). As a result of the events, Scout and Jem gain a new awareness of who they are and the cruelty as well as the kindness of humanity. I think the very last few lines of the book will help you with this. Note that the book takes place over several years. Look through the chapter summaries online and sort of chart how they grow. In the beginning they are just kids; they are curious about Boo, someone different from them who they never see, and in their childish way, they are a little cruel. As they grow up, they learn that everything is not as it appears. The old lady who Jem has to look after is not as her cruel exterior would have you believe; she is merely a poor old woman with a morphine addiction. Atticus seems to be the gentlest creature alive, but he kills that rabid dog when he has to, without ever telling the children he knows how to shoot. They learn about cruelty the Tom Robinson trial and the plight of the Ewells. And they learn that they, too, can work to make the world a better place. In the end, they understand just why it would be cruel to make Boo Radley suffer any kind of scandal.

Throughout chapters 3 and 4, a boy named Burris Ewells insulted his teachers and left school. Convincing Scout wanting to leave school? Scout plays with Jem and Dill becoming Ms. Radley. Reacting the scene, when Mr. Radley, got stabbed with scissors by Boo. Atticus stops the play. Scout remembers she heard a laughter after the incident.

It was not until Walter talked back to his wife at the end (5) that readers see the only concern she presents is of worry whenever Mitty does not act in his usual and expected behavior. One can see that because they do not have much in common helps readers see why they have problems in their marriage There is many more intext context that contribute to Walter and his wife in this story; nevertheless, there are many more clues that the reader can conclude when looking on how these two characters think about themselves and each other.
