to keep out the varmints that feasted on Maycomb's refuse." This description paints a very vivid picture of the cabin and also tells a little bit about the Ewells themselves. From this we can infer that the Ewells took very little (if any at all) pride in their home and it's appearance. Later in the passage Lee adds, "What passed for a fence was bits of tree limbs, broomsticks and tool shafts, all tipped with rusty hammer heads, shovels, axes and grubbing hoes, held on with pieces of
Shirley Jackson’s short story “ The Possibility of Evil” is about a little old lady named Miss Strangeworth. She thinks she’s in charge of the town and to make sure it’s free from all evil because her grandfather built the first house on Pleasant Street. At first Miss Strangeworth is a nice little old lady, worrying about people and wondering what others are up to. Then in the middle of the story she becomes a little rude to a few of the townspeople. In the end Miss Strangeworth thought she was
I woke up that morning and was a little excited, but didn’t realize I was shaking, no trembling with fear. Fear that I wouldn’t pass the Beach Patrol test. I had been working hard for the past two months running swimming and the occasional row here and there. I packed an old worn beach towel, you know the one towel that looks like it probably should be thrown out, spare shorts, my favorite pair, ones that fit me just right, and slick dark SPF goggles in my bag, you know the expensive ones that cost

There is a chance that the monsters will not keep their promise and stay in Europe, evoking fear into the townsfolk. ***This paragraph is a little bit hard to follow. I think the problem is with the “if” statements. It would help to reword them as definite statements, because in the novel they already happened. Also, the last sentence doesn’t seem to fit into the flow of the paragraph. The

Everybody has to find out what they believe and take responsibility for it at some point. Our parents teach us what they know about the world, religion, and politics, but we can’t just ride on our parent’s beliefs forever. Judy relized at a very young age that she didn’t agree with the view points of he`r parents religion. Judy felt that it was difficult to grow up in a home where she was raised on beliefs she didn’t agree with and she often felt confined by its strict rules. I was very surprised
explained that my father would not be home for a while, being as he was rushing to Cooper Hospital to see my mother. At this point in time, being of such a young age, I started to block out a lot of what she was telling us all. I only remember a little bit of that period of time because of my memory block. When my father had come home from the hospital, he told us all that our mother had been envlolved in a serious car accident, and that she wouldn't be home for a few weeks. I don't remember

"It's surprising don't you think." the man said looking to his younger counterpart, "Well me and Alexander think so that's for sure." he said with a chuckle before looking specifically at Natalie. "It doesn't take a detective to realise that they do not belong here. I don't know were they got 4000 dollars from probably stole it from some aristocrat carrying too much money." He then moved a little bit closer toward were Natalie sat offering his

beautiful. I'd also like to thank everyone for coming today to celebrate the marriage of Kevin and Lisa. Personally I wish you'd all stayed at home so I didn't have to do this!! First of all, I want to say a little bit about being the best man. I feel the title "best man" says a bit too much. The way I see it, if I am the best man, what the hell is Lisa doing with Kevin? So, I think I will be happy just saying that I'm a pretty good man, And Kevin can be the best man tonight. Actually, being
like a year ago I was imagining what college life would be like and suddenly before my eyes, I would be a college student in a matter of four months. After attending my summer orientation, I started to adjust to the idea of college life a little bit more. I met new people, got to know a new area, and overall became more acquainted with the life I would be living for the next couple of years. Overall, orientation made college a reality for me. After orientation, I started asking others
as the dictator or fascist and Ralph as the prototype of a democratic leader. The island represents the archetypal garden and the conch shell represents power. Golding uses British schoolboys to show progressive degeneration and to prove that a little bit of evil exists in all of us. Each of these symbols aid in proving that we all have some evil in our hearts. Ralph begins the story as a carefree boy who does not understand the tragedy befallen upon the boys. Ralph soon realizes a need for
My Own Drama In drama I had studied three different plays which are 'Romeo & Juliet', 'A Taste Of Honey' and 'Saved'. For my performance I had to take out stimulus, themes and ideas from the plays I've studied and put it into my piece of drama. My play was mostly focused on the play 'Saved' so I took out the issue of teenage pregnancy, the abuse of a child and the prison scene. I used the issue of teenage pregnancy and crime between teenagers as my starting point because
In this analysis includes a summary of the characters and the issues they are dealing with, as well as concepts that are seen that we have discussed in class. Such as stereotyping and the lack of discrimination and prejudice, then finally I suggest a few actions that can be taken to help solve the issues at hand, allowing the involved parties to explain their positions and give them a few immersion opportunities to experience their individual cultures. This third case study takes place within the

innocent, defenseless creatures. What was the source of all this? Obviously these people had never experienced the joy an animal can bring to your life. Perhaps I could find some children with whom to share that joy. Perhaps I could teach them a little bit about how to care for and respect animals as everyone should. I started searching for a church youth group to whom I could talk. I called several churches and got several answering machines. After playing phone tag with voice mail and secretaries
and Malcolm had taken very different approaches in achieving equality and identity for African-Americans in the land of their birth. In order to better understand why King and X took the course of action each took, one must take into account a little bit of their background. Martin Luther King jr., was born in Atlanta, Georgia into a middle-class family. The church was his source of leadership development and it helped provide him with moral values. Home and church were the most important influences
looks at these colorful patterns in the kaleidoscope and asks Laojing to take a look at it. Laojing obviously has never seen a kaleidoscope before, and he grabs it up without thinking. XiuXiu is a bit angry: “Now you’ve ruined it, the pattern’s gone.” The pattern is so easy to be changed even a little shaking can ruin it. So when we enjoy the gorgeous summer view of the prairie, and appreciate for the innocent father-like love from Laojing to Xiuxiu, we are also worry about the beauty will be replaced
My target behavior was slouching, which is defined as not having my back straight, drooped shoulders and having my head head down. To record my behavior, I had a sheet made on my phone to record how many times I slouched that day, by the hour. So, at the end of every hour I checked whether or not I was slouching or not and recorded that onto my phone. I then took this data and transferred it daily to my graph on excel, to maintain a consistent record. The baseline data went for 59 days and the treatment
embodied traditional 19th century society. The two other female characters are not mentioned until much later in the story, after Marlow has arrived at the Inner Station. When Marlow reaches this point in his tale, he jumps ahead and tells a little bit about The Intended, Kurtz’s fianceé who was to marry Kurtz when he returned. The Intended woman does not appear until the very end of the novelette, in which Marlow visits her and lies to her about Kurtz’s dying words. The Intended had a more significant
