On the 30th of December‚ 2016‚ I watched the TED talk of Ken Robinson‚ british author and public speaker. He explains his view on the role of creativity in children‚ providing his opinion that creativity is just as important in education as literacy‚ and that you grow out of creativity‚ not into it. Specifically he claimed that education eradicates creativity. As he said‚ “I believe this passionately‚ that we don’t grow out into creativity‚ we grow out of it. Or rather‚ we get educated out of it

Would you put an innocent man in jail? Back in the 1960’s if you were black it didn’t matter. This is why Harper Lee’s novel To Kill A Mocking Bird exaggerates that Tom Robinson is not guilty but convicted for his color. Also Harper lee expresses that the jury is flawed clearly. Being convicted causes Tom to lose his innocents literally. This is the theme that Harper Lee is trying to get across. While Tom loses his innocence so does Jem Finch mentally. Jem thinking that justice will always be served

The Moral Aspects in Robinson Crusoe Robinson Crusoe‚ by Daniel Defoe‚ is a novel with a deep moral aspect. Really‚ the author introduces his novel as an adventure story‚ but he highlights the moral aspect more than the adventure side. That is‚ he aims to teach the reader the importance of reason through the disobedience‚ punishment and repentance of Robinson. Crusoe’s shift from disobedience to obedience shows everyman’s journey from suffering to God’s grace and mercy. This moral theme is built

Review on Daniel Defoe’s "Robinson Crusoe" Daniel Defoe tells tale of a marooned individual in order to criticize society. By using the Island location‚ similar to that of Shakespeare’s The Tempest‚ Defoe is able to show his audience exactly what is necessary for the development of a utopian society. In The Tempest‚ the small society of Prospero’s island addresses the aspects of morality‚ the supernatural and politics in the larger British society. In Defoe’s Robinson Crusoe‚ the island’s natural

A Letter to the Editor Eugene Robinson Your article “You Have the Right to Remain a Target of Racial Profiling‚” was rather entertaining and not based on all factual evidence. I do not solely base my opinions on statistical data from one source. You quoted percentages from the Federal Bureau of Justice Statistics report which stated that Hispanics‚ African Americans and Whites were most likely to be pulled over for a traffic offense. Percentages can be alarming when used in this context‚ and

My musical composition was based on the part in To Kill a Mockingbird when jury declares that Tom Robinson is guilty and how Jem and Scout felt during that time. “I shut my eyes. Judge Taylor was polling the jury: ‘Guilty . . . guilty . . . guilty . . .’ ” (Lee 240). When the jury first walks in‚ Scout feels hopeful‚ but also partially guesses what was about to happen‚ which is that exact opposite of what she wanted to happen. So at the beginning of the piece it has a slightly hopeful air to it

Robinson Crusoe: The Lost Years The Preface Robinson Crusoe was made famous for the twenty-eight years he survived on an uninhabited island. There are no other written accounts of how he managed to survive apart from a journal he kept to track his progress‚ struggles‚ and eventual success- until now. Recently a team of anthropologists uncovered a hidden door in the back of the overgrown cave that they believe was Robinson’s primary residence. Beneath the trap door‚ among grain and some rudimentary

There are many biblical references in Robinson Crusoe‚ a novel by Daniel Defoe about a man‚ Crusoe‚ and his life as a “prodigal son.” The purpose of many of the biblical references in the novel is to compare Crusoe’s condition with that of the condition of certain individuals in the Bible. For example‚ on page 15 the captain of a ship upon which Crusoe sails away upon in order to run away from his parents compares Crusoe’s case to that of Jonah‚ saying‚ “perhaps this [storm] is all befallen us on

as a person‚ defending a person. A person that I believe to be innocent. Tom Robinson would pass Mayella Ewells house on his way to the fields everyday‚ to help her out with things around the house. This dose not make him guilty. Tom is a good man. He would never hurt a fly. In fact his owner made a statement that "hes never caused a speck of trouble." My first point of evidence has to do with DNA and blood. Tom Robinson has type AB blood‚ which was not found at the scene. Mr. Ewell has type O blood
