they would have to face the people of Maycomb and then they would be shunned

Boo Radley was also the victim of prejudice. The people of Maycomb county
did not understand Boo, he was not seen outside of his house and people did not
know what to think. They made up their own ideas of what he was like and made
him out to be some sort of monster. They pre-judged him because he was
different than they were. Scout later met Boo and discovered that there

The Right To Privacy By Robert Bork.
Words: 875 / Pages: 4 .... the use of condoms in the
hope that it would prevent adulterous affairs. This deduction is as absurd as
banning all sales of chocolate in order to prevent obesity.

of government officials to enforce the law. Yet, Bork disagreed with the method
used by Justice Douglas to overturn the conviction of two doctors distributing
information on condoms. Bork felt that Douglas's liberal use of penumbras to
create a zone of privacy was an excessive use of judicial power. Bork feels a
judge must follow the Constitution and should not imply anything from the
various ideas in th .....

Beloved: The Symbolism Of Trees
Words: 2036 / Pages: 8 .... harmless aspects of life, such as nature and especially trees.
With the tree's symbolism of escape and peace, Morrison uses her characters' references to their serenity and soothing nature as messages that only in nature could these oppressed people find comfort and escape from unwanted thoughts.

directly uses faith as the carrier of a flaw. That is, she does not contain
enough self-control, or faith to refuse the calling of the Devil. Even with the
emotional plea from her husband, “Look up to heaven, and resist the wicked one,”
(1590) Faith cannot resist the Devil's temptation and has “uncertain sorrow,”
(1587) after submitting to him. The character of Faith which Hawthorne
portrays is one o .....

Words: 950 / Pages: 4 .... is enough evidence to convince proponents of either opinion. It’s probably not so much the evidence as it is the predilection of the proponent that determines their choice. A person who has an imaginative soul or who finds it easy to rise above the mundane restrictions of everyday life would probably argue that Peter Quint and Miss Jessel are ghosts, where as a more logical thinker with a literal sense of mind would probably search out the explanation in psychopathology. The decision is really left up to the reader.

Words: 1332 / Pages: 5 .... appearances, an individual can keep
up a good front and be accepted into the circle when they are out of town

in their pursuits to really belong. “Madame Bovary” is about a sense of
self, a search for personal identity and reality versus illusion. The
symbolism throughout the story is clearly indicative of this fact (Barron’s
5).
To what social class did the characters belong, in reality, in appearance?
Did they move from one class to another during the story? In the following

classes: working and .....
