Innocence vs. Experience The book “To Kill A Mockingbird” by Harper Lee perfectly portrays both innocence and experience in the characters as well as the theme of personal growth. The character Jean Louise Finch‚ otherwise known as Scout‚ has a very complicated development compared to the rest of the characters. Firstly‚ she talks almost like an adult all throughout the story. She learned how to read before going to school‚ which she takes some pride in‚ “ ‘Scout yonder’s been readin’ ever since

Child Beauty Pageants: Robbing Little Girls’ Innocence There are over 5‚000 child beauty pageants held annually across the United States with girls as young as two-years-old competing in them. Little girls strut across the stage with make-up painted on their tanned faces‚ hair teased into big and luscious curls‚ fake teeth‚ and a raunchy dance to complement it. There’s no doubt that the very young girls do not resemble their age when they are on stage and performing; they’re transformed into “sultry

The holocaust was a time of pain‚ and misery; of loss‚ and death for six million innocent people. Sometimes‚ though‚ when faced with a plethora of appalling statistics that illustrate the immensity of this genocide‚ we lose sight of the individual victims themselves. It is helpful at such times to narrow our focus to an instance or two‚ to close our eyes to the devastation played out on a vast scale‚ in order to appreciate the suffering each individual or families experienced.

more about life than characters like Jem or Scout. Usually most perspectives develop at an earlier age through experience; what one eats‚ what one wears‚ one’s hobbies‚ etc. Throughout the story Harper Lee uses children’s lack of experiences and innocence in To Kill A Mockingbird for the readers to see what an innocent‚ unprejudiced perspective towards racism is in the early-mid 20th century. Scout being inexperienced and unexposed to the real world‚ has no bias towards

Hemingway shows

In the poem “So Mexicans Are Taking Jobs from Americans” by Jimmy Santiago Baca‚ he is able to prove how a recurring belief by American politicians is false using facts and without calling everyone racist. Due to the way that he defends his position I believe that this poem is the best of the ones that we have read.

18 year olds off to fight for their country-when most had never picked up a gun. The question always remains‚ whose war are we fighting? In Tim O’Brien’s short story "The Things They Carried" there are many examples of the psychological loss of innocence of a young soldier. Similarly‚ in Louise Erdrich’s "The Red Convertible‚" the reader becomes acquainted with the effects of war after returning home. In both works the trauma that a young soldier experiences is made painfully real. In essence‚ each
