This physical feature, bringing him such high status in the club, shows the prejudice African-Americans had toward each other since the closer they were to white, the better. Mr. Ryder also had a neat style of dress, was very well-mannered, and had the morals of a white: man making him “worthy” of being the dean of the Blue Veins
He would have been hanged for this offense if a ship full of supplies didn’t arrive from England at this time. When he finally did leave Virginia in 1609, it was because a bag of gun powder mysteriously exploded in his lap while he was taking a nap. Smith wanted his readers back in England to see him as a brave explorer and a good man. To boost his image, he wrote very highly of himself. John Smith wanted his readers to understand what a selfless, competent leader he was, see how moral he was, realize what a brave man he was, and notice that he was in high favor with God.
Josh Lucas did an outstanding job as coach Don Haskins. In moies.ign.com movie review, Jeff Otto writes, “The movie […] was well-acted. The acting is commendable. Josh Lucas excels in the sparse dialog, creating a physical presence that makes his character seem like living granted at times. Emily Deschanel has few scenes and lines, but she still creates a beautiful character for the coach’s wife.
Atticus is a very skilled lawyer and this is proven when we points out that Bob Ewell is lying about Tom Robinson, without being rude and impolite. Atticus treats everyone with great manners and kindness be it Jem or Scout or the man he is fighting in court. Be it in his own home, or out on the streets of Maycomb, Atticus Finch has the same values and respect for people, be it his children or the African American members. Atticus doesn’t favour anyone; be it his children or even the Ewell family. As Atticus said, “I do my best to love everybody” (112) and because of this attitude, Atticus sees there to be no reason to why he should act any different around different people.
He is highly respected within Maycomb, Judge Taylor says that he is “always courteous to everybody” and Miss Maudie proclaims “we trust him to do right.” Even though Atticus actions of protecting Tom Robinson brought him to be the object of scorn in Maycomb ironically he is a heroic figure in the novel. He is a widower left with two lovable children, Jem and Scout. Lee presents him as a conscientious father, he is honest, straightforward, and throughout the novel he listens to them and deals with any questions they may ask. He says to his brother Jack, “when a child asks you something answer him.” Atticus treats his children as adults; he believes they can “spot an evasion quicker than adults.” Atticus practices the ethic of sympathy and understanding that he preaches to Scout and Jem and never holds a grudge against the people of Maycomb despite their callous indifference to racial inequality. He is sensitive in his treatment of people and he understands other individual’s feelings.
"Well, as genius as he was onstage, he was the greatest friend you could ever imagine: supportive, protective, loving. It's very hard hard to talk about him in the past because he was so present in all of our lives," Crystal added, sharing personal stories of Williams' ante-upping banter with the former's own immigrant relatives in private moments. "For almost 40 years, he was the brightest star in the comedy galaxy." Though the best testament to Williams' manic and diverse comedic range was in the star's own words — as shown in a video montage of the comedian's clips and quips. After the montage, the lights faded and the photo of Williams receded into the
The black community treats Mr. Raymond’s mixed race children as outcasts even when they look just like the average black citizen. As Jem tells Scout and Dill, “They don’t belong anywhere. Colored folks won’t have ‘em because they are half white; white folks won’t have ‘em because they’re colored, so they are in-betweens, don’t belong anywhere.” (Lee, 161) The bottom line is that the good, bad, and ugly can be found in all racial groups, all age groups, and in both genders. People are people and the sooner we learned to see our faults and learn to deal with them the better off society will be. Harper Lee’s enduring themes still matter.
In Harper Lee’s award winning novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch is one of the most well known citizens in Maycomb. Because of his calm wisdom and his respectful manner, Atticus is respected by many, even the poor and black citizens of the county. Although, many peoples opinions change toward him when he agrees to defend Tom Robinson, a black man, in a very racial and prejudiced society. Throughout the novel, all aspects of Atticus’ personality are displayed as he and his children, Jeremy and Jean-Louise Finch, endure various situations. He struggles with his age as he grows more and more feeble, but his respectfulness and wisdom overshadow his feebleness.
. . “Now class, say it all together, ‘We are a democracy.” (245). The U.S. say they are a democracy but yet the minorities always get less rights or are always judged; this is a perfect example of hypocrisy because Miss Maudie says that they are a democracy yet blacks and whites are segregated and they whites have more right than the blacks. Atticus is fighting for Tom’s rights he should have never been accused he is physically incapable to rape
Because of this, all armed forces were eventually desegregated. This is a huge step to equality as it shows to people that black people can do the same jobs white people can do. Although this may have been apparent, many white people still treated black people as second class citizens. You could say to an extent that they treated them like children as white Americans thought that they were still smarter than African Americans even though this has been proved wrong in WWII. Even though African Americans have shown that they can do what Caucasian Americans can do there is still De Jure segregation in the south which is commonly known as the Jim Crow law.
