Mockingbirds are a symbolic sign of peace and hope, people say it would be a sin if you killed one as did Atticus Finch in To Kill a Mockingbird. Atticus resembles a mockingbird as does Tom Robinson and Boo Radley in To Kill a Mockingbird. The three portray the acts and actions of mockingbirds through out the story. For example, they all give to the community in some way but never ask for anything in return. For Atticus he was a lawyer who defended people without asking for anything in return, Tom

Spirituality is a word freely used, however, a word that has many diverse meanings and many different perspectives. Christina Puchalski, MD, Director of the George Washington Institute for Spirituality and Health, declares that "spirituality is the aspect of humanity that refers to the way individuals seek and express meaning and purpose and the way they experience their connectedness to the moment, to self, to others, to nature, and to the significant or sacred." Some find that their spiritual life

old wounds have healed. When violence broke out again in the late 1960s, this time between Protestants and Catholics in Northern Ireland, it initially seemed that it would not cause any harm to the city's relations. Residents of the Catholic town and the Protestant Middleton speak of violence with a common voice, condemning violence. But when British troops are sent to Northern Ireland and tourism drops to the city because people fear Ireland is no longer a safe place to visit, attitudes are changing

As is evident in several of his works, Seamus Heaney was preoccupied by the sectarian subject during the period known as the Troubles in Northern Ireland. However, other preoccupations emanated from it: his need to find his poetic voice when pressured to speak for his own community; and the etymological study of the local landscape and its colloquialism. Firstly, this essay will analyse how Heaney dealt directly with the sectarian subject through three strands; pre-Troubles sectarianism, internal

The plays “Cathleen Ni Houlihan” and “The Countess Cathleen” are particularly interesting since both are analogies for what was happening in Ireland during the 1798 Rebellion. In order to portray the bleak reality of Ireland at that time, the atmosphere of both is marked with a distinct sense of desperation: “Cathleen Ni Houlihan”, encompasses the idea of honor and starkly nationalistic pride, support and service. The title character, Cathleen, appears initially as an old woman who goes throughout

"Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us.

She wasn't just trying to teach Scout a lesson, but she wanted there to be a powerful meaning behind it. Miss Maudie's main purpose was to stress that you shouldn't kill something

The Northern Ireland Assembly should be made up of 108 members being “elected from 18 constituencies” and having both an elected First Minister as well as a Deputy First Minister. While most issues are resolved via a common majority it is possible for members to subscribe a petition of concern which will lead to a decision being made via both a Unionist and a Nationalist assembly members’ majority. In addition to those, the assembly can decide on the legislation in Northern Ireland as long as it

The nativist social and cultural revival preached antagonism towards the social and cultural forms of Great Britain. In this way, the Irish language and literary movement can be seen to have not only encouraged Irish nationalism and separatism, but also fed the flames of Anglophobia which can thus be interpreted as a catalyst in inspiring the imaginations for those who later led the 1916 Easter Rising. The revival of Irish language and literature had a notable effect on the course of Irish politics
