On the 30th of December‚ 2016‚ I watched the TED talk of Ken Robinson‚ british author and public speaker.

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

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

Humanity: A Look at Robinson Crusoe “Daniel Defoe achieved literary immortality when‚ in April 1719‚ he published Robinson Crusoe” (Stockton 2321). It dared to challenge the political‚ social‚ and economic status quo of his time. By depicting the utopian environment in which was created in the absence of society‚ Defoe criticizes the political and economic aspect of England’s society‚ but is also able to show the narrator’s relationship with nature in a vivid account of the personal growth and development

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
