To Kill A Mockingbird Reference Letter

The Scout Executive of Southern Missouri presented me with a medal and a badge. The award recognized the accomplishments and requirements that an Eagle Scout fulfills. I accepted the award and took my seat. Once the applaud of my fellow scouts and friends died down, I thanked everybody for coming to recognize my accomplishment of becoming an Eagle Scout. I continued to express my gratitude to all the leaders and parents that made my time as a Boy Scout some of the best times I spent in the outdoors. I reflected over the many campouts I took when I was younger and did not yet possess the skills or the equipment that I have since gained. I concluded my speech by thanking the business that sponsored my final service project.

I am writing this letter in the regards of Luke Wiesboeck. We have been close friends for 3 years, through different student organizations at Missouri State University. I have acted like as a mentor to Luke during this friendship. I am very proud of Luke’s progression as a leader.

In the book, “To Kill A Mockingbird” there are many allusions the author uses to impact the story and characters. Three of them which stood out was “No money to buy it with” (Lee 6),“Here’s a quarter” (Lee 25), and “Nothing to fear but fear itself” (Lee 6). All three impact Lee’s narrative, add to the reader’s experience and connects to the world. Lee used these allusions to pull the reader into the book. The first quote, “No money to buy it with” (Lee 6), shows the reader what type of town Maycomb is.

Caleb Donnenworth played a major role in my life by inspiring me to become an Eagle Scout. After moving to Texas, I decided to join the Boy Scouts of America. Straight from the beginning, I aspired to become the first Eagle Scout in my family. The road to becoming an Eagle is rough; however, I knew that Caleb could help me. Caleb loves mentoring people. So much, in fact, that he helped me achieve my ranks, know how to use my resources, and plan my Eagle project. All of the knowledge and skills he passed down to me I would use for the remainder of my life. Within the years I knew him, Caleb had a substantial influence on my life. If not for Caleb, it is probable that I would not be the Eagle Scout that I am today.

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.

Before the whole thing started the day, we were walkin' down the street watchin' all these people walk by. They were gettin' ready for the same thing we were: Tom Robinson's Trial. We weren't really supposed to go, but I wasn't stayin' home, and Scout and Dill don't let me go anywhere without them, so they ended up comin' along too. "You goin' to court this morning?" I asked Miss Maudie.

It is with great pleasure that I write this reference letter for Courtnee Hayes. I have been neighbors with Courtnee and her family for many years. Courtnee has been a babysitter for my 6 year old son and several other kids on the block for many years. Courtnee even helps to assist, on many days, watching all the younger kids in the neighbor that play outside with her younger Brother. I have complete trust in Courtnee that she will effectively watch over and care for my son. She is wonderful with the children and has a true genuine caring nature. Her joyful and relaxed personality gives the children great comfort. Not only is she respectful of the children but she is extremely respectful to all us parents. I feel that Courtnee would a

Twenty-seven years in prison could not shake his resolve to transform laws in South Africa. Innocent people shot down in front of him did not scare him away. After his death, NBC News reports that “…Mandela was a figure of enormous moral influence—a symbol of revolution, resistance, and triumph over racial segregation” (Connor). Similarly, Harper Lee shows us in To Kill a Mockingbird that one person standing alone has the power to influence the minds of people and challenge them to make sensible decisions. There will be many obstacles to overcome but one person can change society’s actions by taking courage to stand up for what’s right and urge other people to view situations differently.

Central High is improving. Sometimes I miss my old school but I remember, I’m doing this for the greater good of this country, and our people. Well people of other races too, equality should be for everyone. By segregating schools we can give everyone a fair shot at life, that's what everyone deserves a chance. It gets hard though, Sometimes I feel like I can’t do it, like I Just want to give up and cry. Being a warrior is not all that easy. I know Grandma said the Lord will protect me, but sometimes I just can’t help but to worry. What if something happens to me. I just hope I can do it.

Ewell wrote on the back of the envelope and looked up complacently to see Judge Taylor looking at him as if he were some fragrant gardenia in full bloom on the witness stand, to see Mr. Gilmer half-sitting, half standing at his table. The jury was watching him, one man leaning over with his hands over the railing. 'What's so intrestin'?' he question. 'You're left handed Mr. Ewell,' said Judge Taylor.” (Lee 117). This scene not only brings out Atticus’s intelligence, but proves to the audience that they cannot trust a single word Bob Ewell speaks.

My "To Kill a Mockingbird" project will be the last option on the menu of projects, designing my own. My project will be a typed paper of Atticus's aphroisms. Over top the aphroisms will be a drawing of Atticus. The rationale behind my project is to display my art ability and to appreciate the wise words Atticus shares throughout the book.

Yesterday (19.2.2016) one of the most influential authors of our time parished. At the age of 89, Harper Lee had lead what could only be describes as an eventful life. 1960 she wrote the classic To Kill A Mockingbird, a book wich tackles hard hitting issues like rape and racial inequality with a pecular warmth. What better way to celebrate this icon than to make a drink named after her Pulitzer Prize winning best-seller?

The thought simply occurred to him while driving home from church one morning: Why not pursue youth ministry? The question came with the understanding that he simply enjoyed working with those who were younger than him, helping them grasp topics concerning Christian spirituality. Returning to college the very next morning, Sean met with his academic advisor and decided to weave ministry classes into his schedule in order to double major in Intercultural Studies and Youth Ministry. Eventually this gave way to a full-fledged Christian Ministries major with a focus in youth ministry.

than the rest of us. If you were not as I think you are, then
