The governor did not understand the Native American’s procedure for murder. (If an incident like this occurred, they would “redeem the life of a man that is so slain with a 100 Arms length of Roanoke” (beads that they make, and use for money.)…

Jem and Scout are two of the main characters in the story. One day they both get air rifles. Their father, Atticus, gives them a reminder before they can shoot their guns. He says, "I'd rather you shoot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds. Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird" (Lee 119). Atticus is stressing the value of morals to his children. He's telling his kids that it is immoral to kill a mockingbird because they are harmless, innocent creatures.…
One of the noticeable aspects from the short story is that king depicts Aboriginals as migrating birds, in which he uses parody to find humor their culture and identity, one example from the short story is that feathers are used to identify the aboriginal tribes. “Amazing, says Bob. How can you tell? By their feathers, says Bill. We got a book” (King page 204) through this satire, it belittles Aboriginal culture and identity through reducing their its significance by identifying their culture through the feathers of birds. By finding humor in down playing the identity and culture of one group, even after knowing that idenginous people have been terrorized by white settlements makes this short story less impactful when king is supposed to convey his arguments. Through out the short story the majority of the dialogue is spoken by White characters consiting of Bob, Rudy, and Bill, however no dialogue is given to the Aboriginal people except the sounds of “Whup! Whup!…
But, Jim’s character re-enforces the uneducated stereotype, due to not being able to say words correctly. “Yo’ole father doan’ know, yit, what he’s agwyne to do. Sometimes he spec he’ll go ‘way, en den again he spec he’ll stay” (Twain 21). What Jim meant to say was, “Your old father does not know yet, what is he going to do. Sometimes he expects he will go away, and then again he expects he’ll stay”. This shows Jim’s lack of education for pronunciations. Jim shows ignorance by jumping to conclusions that King Solomon was unwise because of chopping a baby in half, when he did not know King Solomon’s intentions in the first place.…
As Huck travels further with Jim, their bond grows stronger. He realizes how Jim and others are being mistreated and taken advantage of. Despite this, Huck was still bombarded with the idealisms proposing slavery. When faced with the options of turning Jim in or not, it was a difficult choice for him to make. With his decision to assist Jim in his escape, he was overcome by guilt and remorse, when in fact, morally this was the honorable and right choice. Unfortunately Huck only came to this conclusion from his feelings of guilt towards Jim. "Dah you goes, de ole true Huck; de on'y white genleman dat ever kep 'his promises to ole Jim." (page 124). Jim's loyalty to Huck was infinite and he put so much faith in Huck that he could not bear to betray Jim like that.…
Scout is asking Atticus if he is an n-lover and if all lawyers defend black people. Scout then asks if Atticus is going to win the case, he replies “Simply because we were licked hundreds of years ago before we started is no reason for us not to try to win”. Atticus was right, everybody in Maycomb knew that Tom would be declared guilty, even though he was clearly innocent. Although Atticus knows he will not win, he is not going to go down without a fight. He is trying to make a stand to everybody, even though he will loose, he is making a statement to everybody in Maycomb, that he is still defending a black man with his heart and soul. Atticus not only carves his own path, but makes a trail for other people to follow, and people do follow it. Tom is moved to a jail in Maycomb, and a mob, led by Walter Cunningham, go to the jail, with intentions to hang Tom. However, they are met by Atticus simply sitting by the cell, not armed with any weapon. The mob is trying to get to Tom, but Atticus stops them and gets into a heated argument with Mr. Cunningham. Atticus says to him “You can turn around and go home again, Walter” Atticus is being very courageous during this whole incident. Atticus was foolish not to come without any protection because he could have been easily harmed or even killed. This was all to protect Tom Robinson, a man who would be declared guilty no matter…
Jim Crow laws were not a good thing; they were very unfair towards African Americans. They were ridiculous to have such rules because we are all people and equally as nice and good no matter what your race is. The Jim Crow laws were laws about White people and Black people having different rights. This relates to To Kill A Mockingbird because it was the time of racism. Black people had to follow the Jim Crow laws. They had separate places to sit in the courtroom in To Kill A Mockingbird…
Society conditions people to believe what is right wrong. So how Huck feels guilty about taking Jim is because in the South he…
In the novel it says, “Jim sucked and sucked at the jug, and now and then he got out of his head and pitched around and yelled; but every time he come to himself he went to sucking at the jug again. His foot swelled up pretty big, and so did his leg; but by and by the drunk begun to come, and so I judged he was all right; but I'd druther been bit with a snake than pap's whisky.” (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn). Rattlesnakes are very poisonous and many people know this, therefore the mention of the snake bite and ravage swelling of Jim’s leg strikes a bit of worry and fear in the reader. This formulates an aura of high tension around this point in the book, as the reader does not know what is going to happen next with the injured and immobile Jim. The tension here is produced by the reader’s uncertainty of the future of Jim. Jim has been on the run since the beginning of the book, and has now been immobilized by the bite. Most readers safely assume that this occurrence is not just a coincidence, but leads into a bigger conflict or issue later in the novel that permeates through the pages of Twain’s writing. In conclusion, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a good book that seems to have a high level of tension throughout it. But the tension in this book is welcome, as it adds a level of depth and action that would not be…
He is the epitome of natural law. His choice to save Jim represents the purest truth because of the fact that his morality is untarnished by any ‘sivilized’ learning. Huck saves Jim because it is the truly right thing to do, according to natural law. This goes against what the civilization teaches. Huck makes this choice based on the evidence of Jim’s goodness and sacrifices, not the color of his skin as many others would.Rather than behave as other white people who immediately try to capture, sell, and profit off Jim, like the men on the river, Huck deliberates. He examines Jim and his words and actions. Huck decides to save Jim with great care and caution while in prayer. The amount of time Huck spends reflects the gravity of the decision he has to make; Huck understands Jim’s value in a society that claims he has…
Jim was obviously heavily affected by society as he was part of the slave society. “Jim said that bees won't sting idiots, but I didn't believe that, because I tried them lots of times myself and they wouldn't sting me.” (pg. 1215) This quote even though isn’t directly from Jim himself I feel like it describes the person that he is perfectly. He is the most affected by society and yet he still continues to somehow absolutely horrifying things and put a positive spin…
Determining the rights of non-human animals and deciding how to treat them may not be a choice available to our human society. As an advocate for the rights of animals, Tom Reganʻs three main goals are to abandon the use of animals in any scientific research, discontinue all commercial animal agriculture, and to completely terminate both commercial and sport animal hunting. To support these intentions, Regan argues that every human and non-human animal possesses inherent value, which makes them all more than a physical object or vessel. He then states that possessing inherent value allows every human and non-human to have rights of their own. To further his argument, Regan claims that the any human and non-human retaining rights requires equal treatment and respect from others. To conclude his argument, Regan states that due to these reasons, non-human animals cannot be treated as resources and must be treated by humans as equals. In this paper, I object to Reganʻs third premise, which states that non-human and human animals must be treated as equals and with respect, because our communication barrier with non-human animals restricts us from determining their notion of equal treatment or respect, and that attempting to do so could…
After a few hours when all of the animals were in a deep sleep, Napoleon walked down to the shed with Pilkington to observe Napoleon’s livestock. At this point, Napoleon and all of the farmers were very drunk off of Napoleon’s homemade whiskey. Little did they know that Squealer wasn’t drunk at all and had a plan to kill Napoleon for power. Squealer had a big mouth, so he had to tell the animals, Squealer had persuaded the animals to hate Napoleon, and that he himself was going to make the farm a better place. The animals were cheering for squealer; this commotion resulted in Pilkington snooping into the barn.…
