However, because they let their feelings and religion overpower them they do more harm to the deviants than the deviants do to them even though they claim the deviants to be harmful and violent. I chose to analyze this quote because it shows how in the Land of Fringes people do not believe that the crosses on their dress helps them unlike the people in Waknuk. And it marks Petra and Rosalind as people who are against deviants because those crosses are suppose to protect them from deviants as the land of Fringes is the place where deviants from other towns are sent. Secondly, this quote is significant because Petra and Rosalind realize that their society has tried to brainwash them thinking a cross, representing God can protect themselves against deviants. However, their society classifies them as deviants making the cross useless and another way of indoctrinating people. it shows why the Fringes resent this cross as they were sent away for being deviants even though the cross is suppose to protect them against becoming a deviant. Which makes Petra and Rosalind wearing the cross is disrespect towards the
This image, and the detail that goes into it in the Torah’s description, loom large in the Jewish imagination, and our conceptualization of our community. As the Israelites move forward into the desert, surely they can rally behind this glorious homage to God’s greatness – surely they will be proud to march to the Promised Land behind this banner for holiness, the ultimate reminder of God’s presence. And within the Ark, the tablets themselves, perhaps the broken first set alongside the second set that Moses carved himself. What could be more powerful?

Firstly, Brave Orchid is a woman warrior because she receives an education later in life. Kingston writes, “Not many women get to live out the daydream of women – to have a room, even a section of a room, that only gets messed up when she messes it up herself” (Kingston 61). In this passage, Kingston reveals that a woman going off to live at school was not a commonality. Amongst the other women she lives with, she is by far the oldest. Despite the fact that older women are supposed to be wiser, Kingston does not provide any characters at school that share Brave Orchid’s age; she is about twenty years everyone’s senior. Therefore, being a fully grown adult woman attending medical school must have been a rarity. She did not subject herself to

Courage is not something that we are born with, it is a skill that takes time to learn and only a few are lucky enough to have it. To Kill a Mockingbird is not only about life in a world full of hate, it is about standing up for anyone’s beliefs being brave enough to do it. In this story, Harper Lee says “Courage is not a man with a gun in his hand. It's knowing you're licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what. You rarely win, but sometimes you do” (Lee 112). In To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee illustrates courage through Atticus Finch, Mrs. Dubose, and Arthur Radley.
