In this journal entry‚”An Immoral Law‚” Henry David Thoreau states his opinion on the ‘enforcement’ of the Fugitive Slave Act in his ‘community’. In spite of the fact that Thoreau and I have an age difference of over one hundred years‚ I realize we share a common belief. Which is to stand for what we believe in. Even though Thoreau isn’t that popular among his community for his beliefs‚ he continues to speak out on them. As a result‚ he then goes on to serve as a motivation for many other people

CALPURNIA Calpurnia enters into the story very early on in To Kill a Mockingbird‚ and is an integral part in the story. She works for the Finch family as their cook and mother figure. We get a very clear picture of Calpurnia in Chapter One. “She was all angles and bones.” This suggests the maybe she doesn’t have much money to buy food or that she is older. It also shows that she is older because “She had been with us ever since Jem was born‚ and I had felt her tyrannical presence for as long

February 17th I recently read a novel by Suzanne Collins titled‚ The Hunger Games. What I recall most about this book is the magnificent emphasis put on food. Every single meal eaten by the characters was described in such great detail that you would think the author was a former culinary student. As the name persists‚ food is a significant issue in this book. It’s a luxury for people living in the districts and a commodity for the capital. People from the districts often died of starvation while

Pride and Prejudice This book‚ a classic draws many different thoughts and opinions. While I first thought that there were too many characters and too many complications in the book‚ as the story progressed‚ I saw how all the characters‚ plots and storylines fit together perfectly.

Calpurnia Cares “Calpurnia was something else again. She was all angles and bones; she was nearsighted; she squinted; her hand was wide as a bed slat and twice as hard.” (Pg 6) This is how Jean Louise “Scout” Finch describes Calpurnia‚ a black woman who serves as the Finch family cook and maid in Harper Lee’s “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Although Calpurnia is employed by a high social class family she is still considered to be at the bottom of that social hierarchy because of her African-American descent

For one thing‚ Calpurnia is a better mother figure than Aunt Alexandra. When reading chapters ten through fifteen Calpurnia is a good example of a mother to Jem and Scout. The first reason she is a better mother figure is Calpurnia is always doing her best to help Scout out. Scout asked Cal if she could go to her house sometime and Cal said Scout could come anytime. Calpurnia always is willing to be around Scout and be a good female influents. Jem has been having some mood swings and has been mean
