Through Atticus and Tom Robinson, the reader gets a first hand account of the minority’s perspective, the hostility antipathy, that the African American race had to evade everyday of their lives, in work or at school.

Historical events support the theme of Challenging the power structure in both Pleasantville and To Kill a Mockingbird because power can be defined by a structured system that is challenged by the urge for change within it.

The classic book “To Kill a Mockingbird” and the movie “Remember the Titans” deals with the concept of social injustice in terms of racial prejudice through the setting and characters. Both stories took place in a time where in Southern areas, people were treated very poorly based on their race. In “To Kill a Mockingbird”, one of the main characters, Atticus Finch, was a white lawyer who was fighting to acquit a black man, Tom Robinson. Tom was being accused of sexually assaulting a white woman named Mayella Ewell, even though a lot of evidence in the case indicated that he was innocent. The jury declared Tom was guilty because of the racial prejudice against him.

Although characters may not appear to be similar on the surface, some can be found by digging deep. Two unexpected characters in Harper Lee’s, To Kill a Mockingbird, clearly have many similarities along with differences.

Tom Robinson has been accused of raping Mayella Ewell, the daughter of Bob Ewell, an alcoholic living on welfare.

Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell both have a reputation that precedes them, and both face discrimination. Atticus Finch and Bob Ewell have different personal

An author’s construction of the protagonist/s creates as compelling method to demonstrate the tension between an individual’s values and wider society’s intolerance. Marjane Satrapi’s Persepolis (2000), an autobiographical graphic novel, and Harper Lee’s To Kill A Mockingbird (1960), a traditional prose-fiction novel, use similar techniques to draw connections to the conflict between the two worlds, despite the two different textual forms. As Satrapi and Lee depict characters struggling to mediate between their individual progressive ideologies and society’s discriminatory dogmas, both texts ultimately present the irreconcilable nature of the divide between the personal and public. As such, the audience is able to establish a range of connections when both texts are considered together, through the confliction between the opposing public ethics and individual ideologies.

The book Coming of Age in Mississippi goes into detail about a very prominent time in United States history. The book takes us back to a time where the issue of civil rights began to rise eventually reaching its peak marking this an unforgettable time in history for that generation and for generations to come. During this time the south in general was already a tough place to be in, but the in the Deep South things were even worse, which is where the story takes place. Not only was race a huge issue other things factored into these trying times such as huge levels of poverty, and various acts of violence. Although all of these factors played a crucial part to the make-up of the Civil Rights Movement, the one that stands out the most is prejudice with the other factors such as unfair gender roles and poverty falling suit behind.

I contemplated long and hard about which book I preferred over the other. Although it was a hard decision, I eventually choose Maus. In my opinion, Vladek’s story was so vivid and the comic strips were so thoughtfully drawn. Although, there was a connection with young Marji in “Persepolis”, I did not feel as invested in her welfare as I did for Vladek and all of the other characters introduced throughout the book. In fact, I was so deeply moved by Vladek’s recollection of events that as I take note of our Nations’ current events it leads me to wonder if I would be able to survive such conditions. Despite the fact that I chose Maus, I must say that “Persepolis” was a great read and I was left wanting more.

Hi, teacher and fellow classmates. Today I will be talking about how a journey can have positive and negative impact on an individual.

To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee is a beloved novel published in 1960. After reading the novel there were some moments and people that I found particularly enjoyable. My favorite part of the novel was when the children went to Boo Radley's house to try to get a look at him. In addition, Atticus Finch was my favorite character in the novel. In my opinion the book was very good. I felt that it really showed the thoughts and actions, both good and bad, of the people in the South during the time of the Great Depression. At some points it was sad and at others it was comical but overall it conveyed the message that it was trying to send and everyone could learn something from it.

Set in revolutionary Iran during the 1980s and 1990s, Persepolis, a beautiful film, tells the story of a young girl, Marjane, growing up during the revolution. The theme of Persepolis is about tension and freedom: the tension of the country, the self-inflicted tension of Marjane, and the need of freedom for everyone. Director Marjane Satrapi and Vincent Paronnaud uses movement, humor, expressions, sound, and editing to pull this theme together. The combination of these different techniques in each scene completes the total effect of the movie.
