What Happened To Jimbo's Life?

The Mirror Image During the depression, the town of Maycomb, AL is old and run-down; this mirrors the characters as they passively travel through the days. The first two chapters of Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird are very uninteresting, and do not contain much action. The first chapter is used to introduce the town and characters. The narrator, “Scout” Finch, is arguing with her older brother, Jem. They are debating who is to blame for the breaking of Jem’s arm.

Looking around I was shocked: no animal heads on the wall or blood on the floor and there definitely wasn’t his arm in a glass case. In fact, it looked like any other home to me: a warm fireplace and pictures on the wall of friends, family . . . and medals? I was pulled out of my thoughts when a warm scent hit my nose. I looked over to see him holding a tray of cookies and warm cocoa. He offered me a seat and I eagerly asked about all the pictures and medals.

Musing on his adolescent years, he reminisces; “What was there for me to do after supper? Usually I had learned next day’s lessons by the time I left the school building, and I could n’t sit still and read forever. In the evening I used to prowl about, hunting for diversion”, and “One could hang about the drug-store, and listen to the old men who sat there every evening, talking politics and telling raw stories. One could go to the cigar factory and chat with the old German who raised canaries for sale, and look at his stuffed birds” (105, 106) Jim’s socioeconomic status created a singular expectation of him; furthering his education, a task naturally simple for him, allowing him nearly limitless free time to wander the town, witnessing everything around

Annie got the freedom of the streets, from her mother, as soon as she could say her telephone number. She memorized the neighborhood, making a mental map of it in her head and rehearsed it while she was in bed, picturing herself making turns onto different streets on her bike. She loved this boy who played football, but only spoke to him once in two years, so nothing happened there. Also Annie disobeyed her father’s wish to not go to Frick Park, but her mother let her as long as she did not tell her father. At Frick Park she started to learn more about wildlife by getting a bird book from the library and seeing how many she could spot at the park. She never met anyone at the park, but she would think about if a bum did come up to her she would

He looks over to a closet with two locks. The seems of the door have been taped to preventing any air from escaping.

"Whatever, let's go to the party" he said half heartedly and clearly trying to hide his bitterness. When they got they received V.I.P treatment. It seemed like they were long them friends rejoicing about coming back together. They all enjoyed themselves and Santiago picked up 12 new friends. After, the party they spent the night star gazing.

Jim had always been an average country farm boy that went through the same routine every single day, except for Sundays of course when he went with his family to the local church. Jim lived in Wilmington, Pennsylvania, far from where all the hustlin’ and bustlin’ of the city was at. The farthest away from his hometown that he ever got was where he went to market. He went there with his father every Saturday to sell the crops they had grown and the meat they had killed that week. His mother and sister enjoyed sewing, knitting, and cooking while they were gone.

“Hey” Rodney said grunting while sitting next to Ricardo. Rodney was Ricardo’s best friend and secret crush. They’ve been inseparable since freshman year of high school. Ricardo didn’t respond to Rodney and just shook his head, gesturing a simple ‘Hi. Rodney looked at him and grabbed him by the chin and saw the tear streaks rushing down his face. Rodney looked dissatisfied and Ricardo just turned his head and looked down.

Jim Kendall seems like a very outgoing person who kept the city in an uproar. He also kept the town laughing almost like the comedian of the town. Jim always came to the barber shop on Saturdays, he came so much that he has his own little personal chair. Jim seems to have a humorist personality because the narrator says that Jim would always say something about his rosebud nose. Everyone in the town knew who Jim was, so his personality was something people liked about the young

One day Mrs. Johnson awoke from her routine, leisurely afternoon nap. She stood, stretching her arms clear to the ceiling. She was thinking about what she was going to do for the rest of the day. Once she concluded what to do she put on one of her favorite outfits. This put a huge smile on her face and a hop in her step. She opens the door and inhales the refreshing smell of New York City. She glances around taking in the vibrant colors of the flowers on her porch and the laughter of nearby children. She is absolutely positive that this afternoon will be perfect.

It was a time when he could blend into the crowd and just be like many of the other people around the city. He looked out of his window and saw the usual sprinklers going the wives either talking over the fences or looking through the windows at each other. The only irregularity in that perfect or rather mundane image was the house which had just recently been occupied. Every morning since the last few days the house was sold there had been no such activity. James had first planned to buy the house as a bachelor pad for his friends since he was not allowed to throw parties in the mansion, but he had waited too long and the family had paid a higher price for the

The protagonist Tom is summing up the whole story through his memories with his mother Amanda and his sister Laura. Tom works at the shoe warehouse to support his family and Amanda worries about Laura and her limp and tries to find Laura a suitor, since she is quite antisocial and dropped out of high school and private courses just to be at home polishing and arranging her collection of glass animals. Soon, Tom gets pressured by Amanda to find a suitor and Tom gets Jim to come join them for dinner. They have Jim join them for dinner and though Laura was hesitant, feigning being sick to avoid the deal. Eventually, they get it to where Laura and Jim are alone together. The two share some moments together, from Jim breaking the unicorn in Laura’s

A home that can be considered paradise, if compared to its surroundings. A family that values filial piety and education. Yet when I step out of the house and put forth a foot into the street, my scenery changes, I see unimaginably amount of homeless people. Doesn’t matter the age or gender, they’re all out there. A glimpse into the eyes of the elderly revealed they lost hope; while looking at the younger generation, a small spark that was dimming could be seen. This was the environment where I grew up. It allowed me to be a selfless person who is considerate.

he most important thing about Jimmy and Bob is their devotion to this friendship. Both men has utter respect for this not ideal friendship. Bob said, “we agreed that night that we would meet here again exactly twenty years from that date and time.” The author briefly explains how the characters have fond of their friendship by showing that no matter what they have in their life, they would meet at the exact place and time. they treasure their respect for each other in their heart and not skip the day they will meet one another and the expressed it by showing the importance of friendship. Jimmy especially respected bob’s “companionship” that was built of the years that they grew together not to arrest Bob himself. The author used irony in the
