In life, everyone makes mistakes. Some are minor, some are major, but all in all, it happens. Eddie Rake made his fair amount of mistakes in life but managed to gain forgiveness back from every player and family because of the positive impact he made on the lives of the people of Messina. In John Grisham’s, Bleachers, Neely Crenshaw, one of Rake’s former players, said, “Coach Rake was not easy to love, and while you’re playing here you don’t really like him. But after you leave, after you venture away from this place, after you’ve been kicked around a few times, faced some adversity, some failure, been knocked down in life, you soon realize how important Coach Rake is and was” (Grisham 223).

When my mom asked if I wanted to see this year’s Lakeside musical, I honestly was a bit unwilling. It’s not that I didn’t want to support my two or three friends up on stage and in the crew; I just don’t have a very good track record with high school performances. I’m a critic: I have always been very critical of myself, and very critical of others. I unwittingly judge the actors onstage, and end up feeling guilty because I probably could have done no better. On top of this warped superiority/inferiority was the nature of the musical they were performing; all throughout third grade I had been obsessed with the movie-musical Hairspray. I knew all the songs, most of the lines, and wasn’t sure if anyone could top Queen Latifah. But I was mistaken.
“Folks call me Dill” (8). Thus did Dill Harris, a young boy in Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird, enter the town of Maycomb. Dill plays an important role in To Kill A Mockingbird, a rather dark and dreary tale of racism and corrupt justice. If the story went on in a monotonous tone of dread for its entire length, it would not have been met with the acclaim that it was. But Dill solved this problem as the comic relief at times when the reader thought nothing could relieve the situation’s solemnity. The appearances that Dill makes at these moments are anything but boring, and his stellar abilities of fabrication add even more hilarity to the character. However, Dill’s personality does not include nothing but jokes and games. He also possesses a sympathy to Scout, not only in his rather premature marriage proposal, but also in the way he gives her his time when Jem grows out of their ways and is not available for play. Dill’s storytelling abilities, his love for simple fun, and his sympathy all blend to
