Character analysis-Arthur, Bob, and Charles

Arthur “Boo” Radley - A recluse who never sets foot outside his house, Boo dominates the imaginations of Jem, Scout, and Dill. He is a powerful symbol of goodness swathed in an initial shroud of creepiness, leaving little presents for Scout and Jem and emerging at an opportune moment to save the children. An intelligent child emotionally damaged by his cruel father. Boo provides an example of the threat that evil poses to innocence and goodness. He is one of the novel’s “mockingbirds,” a good person injured by the evil of mankind. Bob Ewell - A drunken, mostly unemployed member of Maycomb’s poorest family. In his knowingly wrongful accusation that Tom Robinson raped his daughter, Ewell represents the dark side of the South: ignorance, poverty, squalor, and hate-filled racial prejudice. Charles Baker “Dill” Harris - Jem and Scout’s summer neighbor and friend. Dill is a diminutive, confident boy with an active imagination. He becomes fascinated with Boo Radley and represents the perspective of childhood innocence throughout the novel.

Character analysis-Scout

Scout is a very unusual little girl both in her own qualities and in her social position. She is unusually smart, unusually confident (she fights boys without being scared!), thoughtful , and unusually good. In terms of her social identity, she is unusual for being a tomboy in the prim and proper Southern world of Maycomb. You will quickly find out when reading "To Kill a Mockingbird" that Scout is who she is because of the way Atticus has raised her. He has nurtured her mind, conscience, and individuality without bogging her down in fussy social hypocrisies and notions of propriety. While most girls in Scout’s position would be wearing dresses and learning manners, Scout thanks to Atticus’s hands-off parenting style, wears overalls and learns to climb trees with Jem and Dill. She does not always grasp social niceties, and human behavior often baffles her (as when one of her teachers criticizes Hitler’s prejudice against Jews while indulging in her own prejudice against blacks that doesn't make sense to her).

How to kill a mockingbird book analysis

The book To Kill A Mockingbird is a story about innocence, courage and knowledge . In the beginning the main character Scout starts out to be a very immature child not knowing the racist times around her. As the story goes on she gains knowledge of these times by fellow kids around her accusing her dad of being something he's not it was an insult. Her dad was being courageous of a black man being faulsey accused of raping a white girl. Her dad Atticus is a crimnal defense attorney only doing his job and not discriminating against this man. The line in the book "Shoot, all the bluejays you want, but remember its a sin to kill mockingbird" is referring to the black man in the story named Tom. He symbolises a mockingbird because all mockingbirds do is sing for our enjoyment and stay out of harms way so if you kill them its a sin. He is the mockingbird in the book and all he does is stay out of harms way and is accused of a crime and in the end is eventually guilty and dies.

MId-Summer Night's Dream Question #6

          In the play "A Mid-Summers Night's Dream" there are four young lovers Lysander,Demetrius,Helena, and Hermia. Some critics have suggested that the are indistinguishable meaning they are the same(or very similar). I do not think that they are all the same though.They may be similar but i think the differences out weigh the similarities. In the beginnings of the play Egeus is talking to Theseus about Hermia not loving Demetrius like her father wanted her to do. Hermia wanted to get married to Lysander her one true love and he loved her back. Demetrius was in love with Hermia as well but she did not like him at all! Helena was jealous of Hermia because Demetrius loved Hermia not her. She loves Demetrius but he hates her with a passion.
          So now that you have read who loves who and who hates who you probably think that they are all similar? Well there not they have so many differences. First of all Lysander and Demetrius may both love Hermia that's true but Hermia only loves one of them back, Lysander. Helena loves Demetrius but he doesn't love her she doesn't share qualities with any of the other characters. She is bigger than Hermia cause in the play she calls Hermia a dwarf. Nobody is in love with her (until later in the play). The characters are not the same the only time they are at most similar is when a magical spell is put on them. They are both couples and both in love with someone. But the true similarities should be judged based on their true selves not on them after a spell. If you tried to put Helena as Hermia's role it wouldn't work our because Helena is described as having long legs and tall where as Hermia is short like a dwarf. 
          In the group of lovers i personally liked Hermia the best because they made her out to be the prettiest and the most fairest in Athens. Helena is not compared to Hermia says Lysander and Demetrius before they are put on a spell. But that is just my opinion. So in conclusion they are similar in some ways but are different in more meaningful ways. The only thing similar about Hermia and Helena is that their names start with the same letter. If you think they are the same based on that then I don't know what to tell you...
