Miss Maudie Loves To Garden Analysis
Miss Maudie is always seen in her garden taking care of her plants. Scout admires her for it and helps her out every now and then. Even though Miss Maudie is a widow, she is still happy and content and I believe gardening helps her cope with any issues or problems she faces. Over her heart I have placed a pot with flowers inside to indicate what she loves most; gardening. Miss Maudie’s husband has passed which makes her a widow. To show that I have placed a gravestone in her background. It is known that Miss Maudie loves to garden. Scout almost always catches her in her garden taking care of her plants. I drew a garden in the background to show how Miss Maudie loves to garden. An unfortunate predicament that has occured in ¨To Kill a Mockingbird¨

    | Rose bush grows in such an unlikely place to offer comfort to prisoners entering the jail and forgiveness from Nature to those leaving it to die on the scaffold. The rosebush by the window of the prison is wild. It symbolizes freedom from the confinement of society. These soft, red roses offer a small but bold contrast to the strict, black and white world of the puritans. The vibrant flowers give a splash of life to the monotonous, dreary scene…

    workers face today? Illegal farm workers have been and continue to be prejudiced of many injustices through history. Despite the 1970 movement, by César E. Chavez, there has not been a radical change in respect to living and working conditions, wage, and improvements in health care. Immigrant workers remain in the shadows because of their legal status in this country. Many feel that speaking up means they will be deported back to their country of origin. Working conditions are of great concern because they face many health risks, from being highly exposed to pesticides to having back problems from being bent all day picking up strawberries and other products. Yet not only are the workers highly at risk, but so are their families and especially children.…

    The poem at the cemetery, walnut grove plantation, south carolina, 1989 by Lucille Clifton is a six stanza poem with many repetitions throughout the poem conveying the idea of how the slaves that worked in the walnut plantation were forgotten and not honored. The speaker of the poem, who is taking a tour around the plantation and cemetery, expressed anger throughout the poem as the tension slowly escalates ending with repetitions of “here lies”. Putting all the elements of the poem together, paradox and repetition, it perfectly articulates the underlying meaning of the poem, which is to remember and honor the dead slaves, men and women, whom worked in the plantation and treat them more humanely.…

    Miss Maudie is a laid-back woman who has been around for quite a while. She understands what it can be like as a young girl growing up and learning about the world around her. This helps Scout immensely as it gives her someone to turn to. It also helps her learn things from more reliable sources than her friends. For example, when she asks about Boo Radley, Miss Maudie responds, “His name’s Arthur and he’s alive” (Lee 57), with the reasoning that, “he’s alive… because I haven’t seen him carried out yet” (Lee 57). Calpurnia is also a mother figure that Scout has in her life to go to when times get rough. Though there is no blood relation between Scout and Cal, they are very close and grow even more so as the novel progresses. She gives Scout refuge in the kitchen when the boys won’t let her join their games. Kenneth Rubin states, “Friendship promotes the development of perspective taking and moral reasoning skills” (Rubin). At this point in Scout’s life, having good role models like Cal and Miss Maudie is a great benefit to her learning and developing ideas. They are both wise women and teach Scout things in their own ways; though she may not know it now, it impacts the rest of her…
