.... let out into civilization. Because of this Boo has to be a little loony, it can’t be helped. That’s just the way things are. He’s going to be a little crazed because he had to put up with his brother. Boo’s brother practically took ownership over Boo, and controlled his life. Boo did help the children in “little” times. Like when Gem got his pants stuck on the fence. It was Boo that sewed them up, and when the neighbors’ house was on fire. It was cold out, and Boo came to scout with a blanket. He wanted to be there for people. Another argument about Boo is that he killed someone. I have many sides to this topic. It’s possible that Boo killed Mr .....

.... children trying to get Boo Radley next door to come out of his house. To them he is a mean monstrous person. But for some reason they seem to think that tormenting him is the best way to occupy their time. In fact, to the whole town the Radley family are mean people that kept to them selves. "There goes the meanest man ever God blew breath into," said Calpurnia (page 12). This shows how mean people can be just by judging others by their outsides. What gives these people the right to make these kind of conclusions without ever even meeting the person(s). Later in the book the Finch children find presents hidden in a tree next to the Radley place. They .....

.... in large part due to their excessive wealth and "soft" living. Their slavish lifestyles, particularly in their willingness to serve absolute despots and their grotesque use of eunuchs, the practice of circumcision, and their strange gods further distinguished them from the Greeks. By contrast, Herodotus’ viewed the Greeks as virile and independent, proudly fighting in defense of their cities, their families, their gods, and for their own freedom and dignity. Thus, the theme of The History of Herodotus is the struggle between the East and the West. The East, represented by the Persian Empire, signified tyranny and oppression. The West, represented by .....

.... of being well-liked surpassed anything, even if stealing was necessary to keep Biff's popularity. Habitual thefts because of Willy's influence led to Biff's desolation and ultimately led Biff into jail. He encouraged Biff to cheat off Bernard on the math final exam.

This description is more significant because it has been said by Helen, and she herself is extremely mature. One of Miss Temple’s most outstanding qualities is her ability to command (perhaps unconsciously) respect from everyone around her, “considerable organ of veneration, for I yet retain the sense of admiring awe with which my eyes traced her steps”. Even during their first encounter Jane is “impressed”… “by her voice, look and air”. Through .....

Though it was ordered for Hester to wear the letter, it was still her own choice to make it in a vivid scarlet, "so fantastically embroidered and illuminated upon her bosom." Hester chose red as the color of her .....
