    Character Analysis: To Kill A Mockingbird By Harper Lee

    At the trial Atticus questions Bob’s position as a father and as a member of the community. Bob Ewell, upset by the fact that Atticus would question his story and give his loyalty to a black man confronts Atticus. Abusing Atticus calling him “niggerlover”, he spits in his face. In response to Bob’s abuse Atticus shows inner and mental courage by choosing to walk away. He tells Jem, “Jem, see if you stand in Bob Ewell’s shoes for a minute. I destroyed his last shred of credibility at that trial, if he had any to begin with. The man had to have some kind of comeback, his kind always does, so if spitting in my face and threatening me saves Mayella one extra beating, that’s something I’ll gladly take”. The writer wanted the reader to understand the importance of inner courage; it is more then just deciding not to retaliate. It is also about understanding the attacker and accepting why that feel that way. It is hard to walk away from a fight; it is hard to not get the last word because you feel you haven’t won the battle. But the writer wants the reader to see that when you walk away, you are the bigger person and show more courage then the person that attacked you. This makes me think about non violent protest from India and the black civil rights movement. Mahatma Ghandi led India to its independence from the British colony…

In the article, “ How History Got the Rosa Parks Story Wrong”, Theoharis uses documentary evidence to show how Rosa Parks was a lifelong activist, a rebel and an outspoken person to challenge the belief Rosa Parks was a quiet woman.…

    Out For Vengeance Analysis

    The director of the film Out For Vengeance--he's the writer and the director--his name is Salar Zarza. Two things that struck him. First, this is shooting overseas. So one thing that struck his interest was my special skills in my resume, and that was martial arts. Because this is an action film, and if you read the synopsis about it, it's an action film. In fact, one of the producers is Michel Qissi, and he played Tong Po in Kickboxer. He was fighting {Jean-Claude} Van Damme in the ring--he was the bald guy. So what struck their interest was my martial arts background. And, of course, they saw that I had paid some dues on set with all my credits that were smaller roles and bit parts. It's one of those times when you could say I got lucky or that they gave me a break. They gave me my first big break. My role is…
