Rob Ewell's Analysis
Another example of Bob discriminating against African American people is when Ewell claims that having black people in the neighbourhood would "devalue his property". Even though the Ewell's are the most notorious villagers in Maycomb, all because of their untidy, sickly (due to their poor hygiene), loud, obnoxious, antisocial, and vulgar way of life they are easily the most un valuable ground of people to the Marcomb community and to say that black people in the neighbourhood would "devalue his property" is somewhat of a joke and is discriminates against African Americans since he is judging this all off the colour of their skin.

    Eric Schwitsbebel's Analysis

    Eric Schwitsbebel’sargument in the beginning of the paper talks about not remembering the name of his roommate but also still being able to say some information about him. Which means that although he is not fully correct on the information he still does know some things. This goes with his example of the teacher and explaining prime number. He says that it is logical to think that one is a prime number but that it is not and it could bring some confusion to the students when they ask about it. So instead of confusing the kids and them thinking it is a prime she should specify in the beginning that every other number that are prime, except one. Although she may believe that one is a prime this would not say that she believes in it nor that…

    Analyzing Nicholas Carr's Article Summary

    In the article, Carr stated that one of source he used to write is paper stated that, “It is clear that users are not reading online in the traditional sense”; meaning that the way we read now is what you would call ‘skimming’ or reading “horizontally through titles, contents pages and abstracts going for quick wins”. Individuals who Reads on the web, don't read the whole article. Another problem with reading on the web is that there is always a temptation to skip from page to page causing readers to lose their concentration while read on the web which cause people to lose focus when looking at physical reading. Nicholas Carr used this particular example because it is something him and the readers can relate too. This information that Carr gathered and used, helps his article because it supports what he has said…

    Tim Seibles Analysis

    Warner Bro's Bugs Bunny and Tim Seibles Bugs Bunny are similar in that they're both humorous, they both speak with an accent, and they both say "What's up, doc?", however, attitude wise, they are somewhat different (and I'm sure all the children of the world are grateful for that). Tim Seibles Bugs is sardonic, sarcastic, and quite frankly, rude. Honestly, he probably would've made little red riding hood cry; for example, in line 8 when he bad-mouthed her mother and said "This was your mother’s idea? She been livin in a CrackerJack box or something?" or when he told the grim and graphic tale of Goldie Locks in lines 20-27 (which I'm sure was cry from the tale her mommy told her). I believe that the poet chose to "mix allusions" without the…

    Examples Of Racial Prejudice In 'To Kill A Mockingbird'

    An example, is that Atticus’s children are bullied by townsfolk, because their father is a known lawyer for the black community. “Your father is no better than the niggers and trash he works for,” said Mrs.Dubose. (Lee 135) This shows that even associating and/or working with black people in Maycomb county makes you “trash” and is frowned upon. This example plus many others throughout the book proves Maycomb experiences racial prejudice in “To Kill A Mockingbird.”…

    Rory Varrato debuted on Ted Talk discussing his view on friendships and how society is so infatuated with technology. With this infatuation growing rapidly we lose the sense of understanding genuine emotion. What causes the urge of wanting to “post a status” or express what we are “feeling” online? Asking myself this I began to dig deeper into the root of understanding what friendships truly are. Social psychologist Gerbert J. T. Haselager ran lead on a social experiment dividing preadolescents and adolescents to study their social age group. Clustering each age group together they analyzed their behavioral responses and profiled them into three categories: Socially Withdrawn friendship, Prosocial friendship, and Antisocial…

    Tommy Lee Hines vs Tom Robinson

    Being a Black man in Maycomb, Alabama was difficult; Maycomb was a racist town with people who did not want the Blacks to be equal to the Whites. People discriminated Robinson’s race to the point where his race was what defined his character. The Whites in Maycomb had a mentality that all blacks were not to be trusted. This affected Tom Robinson because during his rape trial his lawyer, Atticus Finch states “. . . You know the truth, and the truth is this: some Negroes lie, some Negroes are immoral; some Negro men are not to be trusted around women—black or white. But this is a truth that applies to the human race and to no particular race of men.” [Lee, 48] Atticus was trying to say that we need to judge people as individuals rather than by their race. Robinson’s race caused him to be discriminated against by the Whites in Maycomb, in particular Bob Ewell. Bob Ewell had seen that his daughter had kissed a Black man and was very upset. He said "I seen that black nigger yonder ruttin' on my Mayella!" [Lee, 84] Because Robinson…

    Robert Motherwell Analysis

    The artwork that I have chosen to critique is by an American artist named Robert Motherwell, (1915 -1991). The particular piece I have chosen is called "Open" # 150 in black and cream 1970 acrylic on canvas 69 x 204 1/4 inches at the Modern Museum. This artwork is a symmetrical balanced abstract painting that is about 41 years old and is horizontal in its organization and is made up of one neutral color cream rectangle inside at the top of one large intense black color rectangle. Counting a total of 7 actual lines, three straight vertical and four straight horizontal lines. The large rectangle is an extremely intense black color which contrasts dramatically with the off white (cream) rectangle. The colors in the painting are brilliant and extremely appealing to the eye. It was the first artwork that I came across and focused the…

    Examples Of Inequality In To Kill A Mockingbird

    What is a very apparent concept in the story is the inequality and prejudice that exist in the small town. In Maycomb, the wealth of an individual is a way that consistently divided the social status of the townspeople. For example, The Finchers and other middle class people have more prestige and social status over the lower class townspeople, such as the Cunninghams and the Ewells. The most common and discriminatory inequality in the town is that the race of an individual would unjustly determine their social status. For example, the blacks, despite having more amiable qualities than the Ewells, still remain at the bottom of the social hierarchy for the only reason being their race. This lead to the Ewells exploiting the town’s racial prejudices…

    Caste Sytem

    In To Kill A Mocking Bird, Harper Lee portrays racial bias from low class whites to maintain their position above blacks in the social hierarchy. After Tom Robinson is accused of raping Mayella Ewell, a mob of white men goes to the Maycomb jail to lynch Tom Robinson. “ You know what we want,’ Another man said. ‘Get aside from the door Mr. Finch.” Tom Robinson has been accused of rape, but he has not been put on trail, but these men decide to take it into their own hands and kill him just because he is black. These men do not personally know Tom Robinson, but if he were to win this case then these men would be at the bottom of the social hierarchy because of their socioeconomic status and respect in the community so they have want to lynch Tom Robinson to show their superiority over blacks. People like the Ewells are terrible people, and a disgrace to the community and the only thing keeping them from the bottom of the social hierarchy is the fact that their white. “Every town the size of Maycomb had families like the Ewells. No economic fluctuations changed their status people like the Ewells lived as guests of the county in prosperity as well in the depths of a depression.” The Ewells are a disgrace to the community, and live off of everyone else but they still have a slightly higher status than the whites only because of the color of their skin. The blacks in Maycomb are a hard working people and should have more respect than the Ewells in the community so people like the Ewells try so hard to put the blacks down to keep from the bottom. In Maycomb the Blacks are better harder working than many of the whites, but the whites have more respect just because of the color of their skin.…

    Some could argue that racism is just another part of Maycomb’s culture and that is just how they run things, also that they turned out just fine and it might have even boosted their self esteem. However, in today’s society, racism and segregation are frowned upon and despite it being a “tradition”…

    The Tom Robinson Trial

    Even if all the evidence proves Tom to be innocent, the jury would be in favor of the Ewells because they are white. Tom Robinson would help Mayella with chores because it “looked like she didn’t have anybody to help her” (263). Because of this, Tom felt sorry for her. However, his feelings were invalidated when Mr. Gilmer exclaims, “You felt sorry for her, you felt sorry for her?” When Tom said he was sorry for Mayella, it implied he was better than her. In Maycomb County, a county divided along racial lines, a black person thinking he’s superior to any white person defies the status quo. The Ewells had been “the disgrace of Maycomb for three generations” (40). The Ewells, especially Bob Ewell, represent ignorance and white supremacy in To Kill a Mockingbird. Bob Ewell’s full name is Robert E. Lee Ewell (227); coincidentally, he was named after the general who commanded the Confederate army, or the army in favor of expanding slavery, during the Civil War. The Confederate army represented white supremacy and racial justice, as do the Ewells. Atticus says to his son, Jem, “In our courts, when it’s a white man’s word against a black man’s, the white man always wins” (295). Even with the Ewells labeled as the “disgrace of Maycomb” (40), they are still seen in a higher position compared to Tom…

    To Kill A Mockingbird Prejudice

    As pointed out by a pondering Jem, “There are four kinds of folks in [Maycomb]. There’s the ordinary kind like us and the neighbors, there’s the kind like the Cunninghams out in the woods, the kind like the Ewells down at the dump, and the Negroes.” (Lee, 302). The difference between these groups of people is based on their social class, their wealth, as well as their connection to the Finch family (as per Aunt Alexandra). This four tier system begins with the Finches and the townspeople at the top. These are the upper to middle class working people of Maycomb that contribute the most to the town. The second tier below that is the Cunninghams. The Cunninghams are poor farmers with an inbred, incestuous family tree and Aunt Alexandra refers to them as “trash” because of this. The third tier is the Ewells, who can also be referred to as “white trash” by their lifestyle and them literally living nearby to Maycomb’s dump. The fourth tier are the Negroes, which are despised by all because of typical Southern racism. These people are connected together by Jem’s explanation: “The thing about it is, our kind of folks don’t like the Cunninghams, the Cunninghams don’t like the Ewells, and the Ewells hate and despise the colored folks.” (Lee, 303). The natural hierarchy that this creates is due to prejudice, since the majority of every layer dislikes the layers below them and so on. They form assumptions in their head based off of the limited information they receive on the topic, leading to the ideology created by this demographic ranking system. This is how prejudice divides people in Maycomb’s…

    Prejudice In To Kill A Mockingbird

    “I seen that black nigger yonder ruttin' on my Mayella!" This obscene language, specifically the use of "ruttin," makes Tom Robinson and black men seem like animals, giving black men a beastial, non-human quality. Ewell does not like the fact that he is discriminated as the poorest and dirtiest in Maycomb so redirects it into hatred of others he does not like. He also adds to the non-human, bestial representation of Tom Robinson by referring to him as a “big buck.” “If [Atticus] was a nigger like [Tom Robinson], [he’d] be scared too” because colored people in maycomb are treated so badly they have become conditioned to be afraid of white people. In a way, those people who are afraid are also being prejudiced against white people because they assume that all white people are just as hateful as the Ewells, stereotyping them, so it is more of a two-sided problem. He also mentions that if people would take a moment to step into another person’s shoes, they might understand their side and their perspective of things, the way they see it through their eyes. Then they would not be so narrow-minded and interracial problems would be a thing of the…
