Jim Is Guilty For Killing Animals
Jim, who feels guilty for shooting down the birds, is encouraged to shoot down the last crow alive. In this scene, Jim’s opinion was not delivered clearly to Bill. When Bill tells him to shoot, Jim quietly refuses but he shoots down the bird anyways. Jim, who is a Mohawk, must’ve been well aware of what it means to kill animals for amusement since majority of the Natives take the lives of living things very seriously and animals usually play important roles in their culture and tradition. Thus, he must have known that it is not right to do such thing but ends up killing the bird. If i was Jim, placed in the same situation, I would have stood up for what is right. Instead of being quiet and soft, I probably had said that it is not right to kill

    On September 11, 2011, our client, John Dunham, shot and killed three trespassing hunting dogs on his property. He then used his dog as a deadly weapon to injure Jesse Hester, owner of the hunting dogs. Dunham raises an affirmative defense that he was merely protecting wildlife on his property and possessed a legal right to do so. Pursuant to my research, Dunham will most likely be charged with three crimes and unable to raise an affirmative defense to protection of wildlife on private property.…

    One of the noticeable aspects from the short story is that king depicts Aboriginals as migrating birds, in which he uses parody to find humor their culture and identity, one example from the short story is that feathers are used to identify the aboriginal tribes. “Amazing, says Bob. How can you tell? By their feathers, says Bill. We got a book” (King page 204) through this satire, it belittles Aboriginal culture and identity through reducing their its significance by identifying their culture through the feathers of birds. By finding humor in down playing the identity and culture of one group, even after knowing that idenginous people have been terrorized by white settlements makes this short story less impactful when king is supposed to convey his arguments. Through out the short story the majority of the dialogue is spoken by White characters consiting of Bob, Rudy, and Bill, however no dialogue is given to the Aboriginal people except the sounds of “Whup! Whup!…

    Jem and Scout are two of the main characters in the story. One day they both get air rifles. Their father, Atticus, gives them a reminder before they can shoot their guns. He says, "I'd rather you shoot at tin cans in the back yard, but I know you'll go after birds.

He's telling his kids that it is immoral to kill a mockingbird because they are harmless, innocent creatures.…

    Scout is asking Atticus if he is an n-lover and if all lawyers defend black people. Scout then asks if Atticus is going to win the case, he replies “Simply because we were licked hundreds of years ago before we started is no reason for us not to try to win”. Atticus was right, everybody in Maycomb knew that Tom would be declared guilty, even though he was clearly innocent. Although Atticus knows he will not win, he is not going to go down without a fight. He is trying to make a stand to everybody, even though he will loose, he is making a statement to everybody in Maycomb, that he is still defending a black man with his heart and soul. Atticus not only carves his own path, but makes a trail for other people to follow, and people do follow it. Tom is moved to a jail in Maycomb, and a mob, led by Walter Cunningham, go to the jail, with intentions to hang Tom. However, they are met by Atticus simply sitting by the cell, not armed with any weapon. The mob is trying to get to Tom, but Atticus stops them and gets into a heated argument with Mr. Cunningham. Atticus says to him “You can turn around and go home again, Walter” Atticus is being very courageous during this whole incident. Atticus was foolish not to come without any protection because he could have been easily harmed or even killed. This was all to protect Tom Robinson, a man who would be declared guilty no matter…

    I believe that this quote means to me was how unfair of the government to contradict their own people in which African-Americans were not able to have the same rights of the White Americans. Jim Crows laws were so cruel to the extreme that they were able to control the lives of the African-Americans. In this essay I will be reviewing over some of the Jim Crow laws and further explain the effects it has on each individual African-American.…

    In the novel it says, “Jim sucked and sucked at the jug, and now and then he got out of his head and pitched around and yelled; but every time he come to himself he went to sucking at the jug again. His foot swelled up pretty big, and so did his leg; but by and by the drunk begun to come, and so I judged he was all right; but I'd druther been bit with a snake than pap's whisky.” (The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn). Rattlesnakes are very poisonous and many people know this, therefore the mention of the snake bite and ravage swelling of Jim’s leg strikes a bit of worry and fear in the reader. This formulates an aura of high tension around this point in the book, as the reader does not know what is going to happen next with the injured and immobile Jim. The tension here is produced by the reader’s uncertainty of the future of Jim. Jim has been on the run since the beginning of the book, and has now been immobilized by the bite. Most readers safely assume that this occurrence is not just a coincidence, but leads into a bigger conflict or issue later in the novel that permeates through the pages of Twain’s writing. In conclusion, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a good book that seems to have a high level of tension throughout it. But the tension in this book is welcome, as it adds a level of depth and action that would not be…

    He is the epitome of natural law. His choice to save Jim represents the purest truth because of the fact that his morality is untarnished by any ‘sivilized’ learning. Huck saves Jim because it is the truly right thing to do, according to natural law. This goes against what the civilization teaches. Huck makes this choice based on the evidence of Jim’s goodness and sacrifices, not the color of his skin as many others would.Rather than behave as other white people who immediately try to capture, sell, and profit off Jim, like the men on the river, Huck deliberates. He examines Jim and his words and actions. Huck decides to save Jim with great care and caution while in prayer. The amount of time Huck spends reflects the gravity of the decision he has to make; Huck understands Jim’s value in a society that claims he has…

    Jim was obviously heavily affected by society as he was part of the slave society. “Jim said that bees won't sting idiots, but I didn't believe that, because I tried them lots of times myself and they wouldn't sting me.” (pg. 1215) This quote even though isn’t directly from Jim himself I feel like it describes the person that he is perfectly. He is the most affected by society and yet he still continues to somehow absolutely horrifying things and put a positive spin…

    Jim Crow laws were not a good thing; they were very unfair towards African Americans. They were ridiculous to have such rules because we are all people and equally as nice and good no matter what your race is. The Jim Crow laws were laws about White people and Black people having different rights. This relates to To Kill A Mockingbird because it was the time of racism. Black people had to follow the Jim Crow laws. They had separate places to sit in the courtroom in To Kill A Mockingbird…
