Huck Finn – Themes Formal Education vs Moral IntelligenceRepeatedly Huck encounters situations which require a moral decision. He usually can differentiate between a bad moral choice and good one.

Journal #6 – 23 Skidoo We’ve recently watched the movie 23 Skidoo both in class and on our own time at home. When I first saw it in class‚ I was a bit confused and I didn’t really understand what was happening in the film. After re-watching it‚ I understood that it is a film about a post-nuclear bomb explosion. What’s different about this movie is that there is no narrative‚ or actors‚ but there is music. I find that it makes you concentrate more on what’s happening in the film because no one’s

Invisible Man Journal Entry #1 To me‚ the most interesting part of this novel so far is the interaction with Jim Trueblood and the story that he tells. The different reactions that Jim gets from white people and black people is especially interesting because the whites‚ upon hearing about what Jim did with his daughter‚ describe the act as something disgusting but to be expected of or typical of black people and yet they offer Jim support while the black community shuns him. I find it hard to

Life of Pi: Journal Response #1 The narrator of this book has his own view about zoos. He tries to make it seem as if his view is absolutely true and is scientifically proven and that he is 100% politically correct. According to him a zoo to an animal is like a home to a human. But I totally disagree with his view on the zoos. In the book the narrator’s view is totally opposite. He assumes and thinks that keeping animals in cages is normal to them and they don’t mind… He persuades us to think

Cry‚ the Beloved Country Dialectical Journals Theme: Racial Inequality & Injustice Quote Response “Kumalo climbed into the carriage for non-Europeans‚ already full of the humbler people of his race…” (43) How there’s a carriage exclusively for non-Europeans is understandable at the time period that this novel is set in‚ but people who read this in the 21st century might think that this is odd how Europeans couldn’t stand to ride in the same carriage as non-Europeans. “Black and white it says‚ black
