Miles Letter Of Expulsion From School

lly understand the reasons for my suspension due to inefficient academic progress. During my time attending APSU, I had the burden of solely operating a small business. It was during the first quarter of 2011 when new contracts arose for the business, I experienced a dramatic increase in work. My priorities and responsibilities as a student eroded as my obligations for the business expended. My past attendance at APSU did not show my strengths as a student. I would like to ask for reconsideration for

I’m writing to you, in hopes to appeal my academic dismissal of the nursing program at Adelphi University. I am aware that my grades are lower than required, and I take full responsibility for being on academic probation. I was surprised when I got the news that I have been dismissed from the nursing program because I did not receive any form of notification of dismissal from the University earlier. I was informed by my guidance counselor prior to the start of spring semester that I would say in the program as long as I did not obtain a lower GPA than I had. As a result of my GPA increasing I was surprised to receive the news of my dismissal. Despite this I believe that I did not handle my situation correctly and should have maintained sufficient grades to avoid academic probation. As stated before I recognize and

Children like Scout try to fit in at school or around their friends so they don’t get judged. Shortly after they planned to go look at Boo Radley, Scout tries to “fit in”. Scout was asking many questions so Jem orders her to go home. Scout begs

Atticus is the town’s most respected lawyer. He is not wealthy, but he is well off in the community and is very kind towards everyone. As a single parent, he faces the world, raising his two children with his maid, Calpurnia, who experiences better conditions and responsibilities than other African Americans of her time, due to Atticus’ beliefs. He has a reputation for being an open-minded, fair man, and a unique personality that is overflowing with honesty. He has been assigned a case of defending a black man who is apparently accused of rape. Now Atticus is both loved and unloved by the townspeople. Since they live in the South during the 1930’s, Atticus gives a lot of advice to his children, Scout and Jem. Atticus tells Scout and Jem that they should not say anything about a person especially when they do not know that person. Atticus describes what he means in a quote “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view – until you climb into his skin and walk around it”(Lee 39). Atticus defends a black man named Tom Robinson, who is accused of raping a girl. Atticus has the confidence and the courage to defend Tom and prove that he is innocent. Scout does not believe that her father is nice enough or has the courage to defend Tom. Atticus proves that

Growing up happens during the magical times of freedom given to children in their early years. Wise parents discern when freedom is necessary for their children, are very clear about their expectations, and determine fitting consequences for actions out of line. Harper Lee personifies this role of a wise and caring parent in the father figure of her novel To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus Finch, a character made to mirror the author’s own father, is a lawyer and a well-respected citizen of his Southern Alabama town. Through Atticus, Harper Lee establishes a standard of good and evil, developing the theme of morality during his interactions. Atticus establishes right from wrong in most every relationship, especially with his children, his

After starting school, Scout comes upon his first lesson from Atticus. When Walter Cunningham refuses to take a quarter from Miss Caroline to pay for his lunch, Scout begins to explain to her teacher that “The Cunninghams never took anything they can’t pay back.” Scout had overheard her father talking to one of his clients, Mr. Cunningham, about how he would pay Atticus for his work on his entailment. Atticus explains to Mr. Cunningham that the money was the least of his worries. Scout later learns that the Cunninghams pay in what they have, for example, stovewood or turnip greens. When Atticus says “ If you can learn a simple trick, Scout, you’ll get along a lot better with all kinds of folks. You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view- until you climb into his skin and walk around in it.” Scout learns that some people live differently than her, and that it is important to always accept that some people are different. When she explains the situation to her teacher, she gets in trouble, in turn making her not want to go to school anymore.

The main character of the novel, Scout, was the only character that suffered a loss of innocence and responded in a way that did not ruin her life. During the novel Scout gradually lost her innocence due to the fact of her ever-increasing knowledge of the world. Being the child that she was, Scout had a kind of blind faith in her community that it was as good and as moral as she believed it to be, but she realized after the trial how wrong she was. Throughout the

“I thought Mr. Cunningham was a friend of ours...You told me a long time ago that he was...He still is. But last night he wanted to hurt you… He might have hurt me a little,” Atticus conceded, “but son, you’ll understand folks a little better when you’re older. A mob’s always made of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little southern town is always made of people you know…” (pg. 157). Though this discussion Scout began to learn about the unbending prejudice of people who have been raised in a racist environment. Through this event she learned that people in groups are capable of doing things that they wouldn’t ordinarily do on their own.

Trying to do right from wrong was a huge problem in To Kill a Mockingbird. Nobody wanted to stand out from the pack of people who wanted to do wrong except for Atticus Finch. Atticus wanted to show his children, Jem and Scout how to follow their heart and do good deeds. When everyone said to Atticus not to defend Tom Robinson, he did not listen and did what was appropriate to do. Atticus gave Tom a fair chance at court and fought every second for him. He did not care what anyone thought or said about him, he did what was need to do to show his children the correct way of doing things. When Mr.Ewell spat in Atticus’s face, Atticus did not start a fight or stir up drama. He wiped his face and walked away because he knew Jem was watching. Atticus wanted to make the better out of a situation and never the worse. This shows students how distinguish good from bad and right from wrong. You want everyone to see you as a good-hearted and generous person. When you are honest and sincere you make superior choices that are positive for you.

Instead of explaining to his children how the white society should treat others of a different race, he teaches his kids about equality. He says to Scout: "I do my best to love everybody... I'm hard put, sometimes—baby, it's never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesn't hurt you" (Lee 144). In other words, Atticus declares that he does his best to love everybody, which teaches Scout that she should not judge or mistreat others by race, but to give equal respect to all mankind. Moreover, Atticus gives his children a perspective on what real courage is. He says to Scout: “I wanted you to see what real courage is, instead of getting the idea that courage is a man with a gun in his hand. It's when you know you're licked before you begin, but you begin anyway and see it through no matter what” (Lee 149). Atticus’ statement gives Scout a lesson. She learns that courage is not doing a hard task and being able to succeed in it. It is about believing in something and doing your best to achieve it, even though you may not succeed. Atticus teaches his kids moral values by telling them the act of true courage and leads them to the path of

This demonstrated the emotional journey that the kids are going through realising that they don’t have a mum and the fact Atticus feels a sense of despair and sorry as he listened to their conversation. In the end Scout has grown matured and has overcome the prejudice and has understood the neighbourhood gossip does not necessarily tell the truth judging by her self-experience.

(page 171). She did not want Aunt Alexandra to come live with them. She had no choice but to say she. She did not want to make a bad impression on her. She learns that in life, sometimes you have to to do something that seems bad and hope for the best. Another experience is when Scout is effected when she is told by her father tells her that “before I can live with other folks I've got to live with myself. The one thing that doesn't abide by majority rule is a person's conscience” (page …). She learns that her father is going to have to live through whatever the judge chooses for Tom Robinson. The city only approves white people and after they lost the case it is going to be hard for him to consider what others say. Although Scout has learned that you could be the unique one from others and lose but have to live with

Atticus teaches the children how to not only recognize this problem of prejudice, but also how to defeat it. When a mob of men try to lynch Tom Robinson at the jailhouse and Atticus protects Tom, Scout innocently involves herself in the situation and as a result forces Mr. Cunningham to put himself in Atticus’s shoes. In his moment of realization, he disbands the mob, which saves Tom’s life. Atticus later explains to his children that “A mob’s always made up of people, no matter what. Mr. Cunningham was part of a mob last night, but he was still a man. Every mob in every little Southern town is always made up of people you know - doesn’t say much for them, does it?” (Lee 179). Atticus says this in order to give his children a better understanding of the events of the previous night. He also wants the children to understand that all chains have a weak link, and finding that weak link in Mr. Cunningham

When the governess first arrives at Bly, she receives a letter from the school Miles attends. It tells her that he will not be allowed to return for an unknown reason. The governess begins to believe

Furthermore, as Atticus is seen as a role model he is challenged by Scout. Atticus is challenged as Scout is determined to find out if he is a good father who doesn’t only do things for the well-being of Maycomb County, but also does things for her by being an ideal father. At times, this has an effect on both Atticus and Scout, as Atticus starts being honest with his daughter. This honesty also leads to Scout having faith and trust in her father. The qualities and characteristics that Atticus and Scout have, enhances’ the relationship between them as they both learn that they need each other’s support to overcome difficulties and hardships.
