...Book Review Parallel Journeys Parallel Journeys, by Eleanor Ayer with Helen Waterford and Alfons Heck, compares the life of two young people in Germany during the rise of Hitler and the outbreak of World War II. They were born within sixty miles of each other, but their lives took dramatically different paths. Alfons, is a boy who grew up on a farm in Germany. When Hitler came to power he became involved with the Hitler Youth. Alfons grew up on a farm but was a Nazi boy who became a commander at age sixteen. This book truly depicts Hitler's impact and influence on the youth of Germany. Alfons was brainwashed by Hitler's promises, a full pledged Nazi youth is how it is presented in the book he participated in all rallies. He started his training to become the future of Germany and eventually of the world. There he learned discipline and order. He trained to become a soldier and he learned the ways of warfare. He was taught to be a follower of anti-Semitism and was told to hate the Jewish people. He along with millions of Nazi’s believed that they were the reason for Germany's problems. As years went by, Alfons rose through the ranks of the military until the end of the war where realized what atrocities had been committed, he than took off his uniform and went on to help people. On the other side of the spectrum we have Helen Waterford a young Jewish girl who grew up in Frankfurt, Germany. She married Siegfried Wohlfarth and moved to Amsterdam because of tension brewing...

...no matter what color their skin is. Also, when Scout asked Atticus why he took the Tom Robinson case he said, “I'm simply defending a Negro- his name's Tom Robinson. He's a member of Calpurnia's church, Cal knows his family well. She says they're clean- living folks. Scout, You aren’t old enough to understand some things yet, but there’s been some high talk around town to the effect that I shouldn’t do much about defending this man. It’s a peculiar case- it won’t come to...

...Chapter 22: 1. After Atticus lost the case with Tom Robinson, Jem, Scout, and Dill were bitter about this and could not believe what had happened during the trial. They thought that it was unfair, and so then Miss Maudie had to comfort them and explain why thing were how they are. She then said that the case have made a “baby step” in this right direction. She says this because after this case about Tom Robinson, a new light have been shown to Maycomb, that not all black people are bad. This may have lessened the racism against black people, which is taking a step towards the right path, even though it is just a baby step, but it is still a step in the right direction. Chapter 23: 2. The trial ended with it in Mr. Ewell’s favor, however Atticus...

...The Robinson Trials was the biggest event that had occurred in Maycomb. The reason behind the hearings was because of Bob Ewell. Mr. Ewell urged Heck Tate, the sheriff of Maycomb county, to go to the Ewell houses. Heck Tate arrived to the property, he found Mayella, Bob Ewell’s daughter, bruised and beaten. When she was asked what happened, she said that Tom Robinson raped her, even though it was false. Heck Tate believes this statement partly due to the fact that he was a colored man. Tom Robinson was a hardworking man and everyone in the town knew it. When Tom was getting interrogated he states that “she reached up and kissed me ‘side of th’ face” (Lee 260). This statement must have brought up many questions. What Mayella said next is what...

...confused at the same time I looked away and she paid no attention to me after. Then the doctor walked in and did a couple of tests on the boy to see what was wrong. In the hall I heard Scout ask. “Is Jem dead?” “Far from it,” he said. “He’s got a bump on his head just like yours, and a broken arm. Scout, look that way-no, don’t turn your head, roll your eyes. Look over yonder. He’s got as bad break, so far as I can tell now it’s in the elbow. Like somebody tried to wring his arm off… Now look at me.” “Then he’s not dead?” asked Scout. “No-o!” Dr Reynolds said. I stopped listening at this point and went back into my thoughts. Why me? I didn’t deserve this. I did the right thing didn’t I? What am I talking about of course I did, I saved two children from being murdered. I mean is it that bad I killed one of the most hated men in Maycomb. So that makes it ok, right? I came back to Earth when Scout and Mr. Heck Tate walked into Jem’s bedroom. “Jem…?” asked Scout. I could tell she was worried but I just stood in the corner and didn’t say a word. “He can’t hear you, Scout, he’s out like a light. He was coming around, but Dr. Reynolds put him out again.” Atticus...

...Ackerman, Diane. The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story. New York: W.W. Norton & Company, Inc., 2007 368 pages To consider a story about the Holocaust to be lovely appears grotesque and ironic. However, Diane Ackerman’s non-fiction work The Zookeeper’s Wife: A War Story, begs to differ. Ackerman presents the true story of compassion and its polar opposite very wisely, and in an manner that manages to be both grim and exuberant. The tale to be told set Ackerman up for greatness, and she executes its telling impeccably. The story begins in the summer of 1935 in Warsaw, Poland, where we are introduced to a young couple, Antonina and Jan Zabinski. Antonina and Jan were the directors of Warsaw’s lush, fecund zoo in which the animals not only inhabited cages, but in habitats (engineered by the couple) to recreate the animals’ natural habitats. Both Antonina and Jan’s backgrounds were far from the norm; Antonina being a Russian-born Pole whose parents were murdered by the Bolsheviks during the early stages of the Russian Revolution and Jan, born a Polish Catholic, but raised atheistically by his father in a working-class Jewish neighborhood. It was these unique and differing foundations that made the Zabinski household almost a madcap bohemia, constantly hosting artists and intellectuals, and not to mention a seemingly never ending rotation of non-human companions, ranging anywhere from muskrats to lion cubs (all of whom had names). From this information, it is evident that Jan...

...Sitting peacefully in my chair, I was overlooking the long weekend that had just passed. There was suddenly a knock at the door, and Jem answered explaining it was Mr. Heck Tate. I thought very little of it, and told him to let Mr. Heck Tate come in. Jem looked at me with big eyes explaining there were also big men at the door, and they wanted me to step outside. Walking outside, Tate said he didn’t want Tom to stay in jail the night before. He was very angry about the case. There were back and forth threats made between us, and suddenly the phone rang. The men laughed as Jem opened the front door and they walked away. Sunday evening I grabbed a lightbulb and an extension cord and drive to the jail. It was very quiet until four cars showed...

...Harper Lee depicts Atticus Finch as an insightful character, a respectful character, and a moral character to reveal a model of a simple man. In my opinion, Harper Lee depicts Atticus Finch as an insightful character to reveal a model of a simple man. In To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus says “Courage is when you know you’re licked before you begin but you begin anyway and you see it through no matter what” (Lee,149). Through Atticus’s perspective, it is learned that he figured out what Mr. Dubose was doing....

...In the article “What Makes A Hero” by Dr. Alex Lickerman he describes what he believes make a person a hero. In the novel To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, there are a few characters that might be considered heroes. Boo Radley is one of the many heroes in the book. He puts himself in more danger in order to protect others. Dr.Lickerman has his own opinion on what qualities he believes makes a person a hero. He says “What actually makes a hero? I’d argue it’s the willingness to make a personal sacrifice for the benefit of others.” He goes on to explain how one of his patients is a hero because he risked his life to donate a kidney to his brother with AIDS. It was a fact that his brother was going to die and giving away a kidney would cause...

...The theme to kill a mockingbird drives the novel through the innocence of the three mockingbirds. Mrs.Maudie introduces this concept by saying “Mockingbirds don’t do anything but make music for us to enjoy” (page.103). Stating this acknowledges that they don’t know any better than what they are doing. Innocence is the important characteristic that leads to the building of the characters of Mayella Ewell, Tom Robinson, and Boo Radley. “I wonder if anybody had ever called her ma’am or “Miss Mayella” in her life, probably not as she took offense to routine courtesy what on earth was her life like?” (page.244) this was said by Scout as she realized the innocence of Mayella. Even though she was doing wrong in the story, by lying about Tom Robinson and accusing him of rape, being mistreated and disrespected her whole life has made her unable to see what she is doing is wrong. As Scout realizes Mayella didn’t know any better she starts to have empathy for Mayelle no...

...Both sides argue valid points but in the end Atticus’s side seems more realistic than the Ewells. Although Atticus’s side was very convincing, the defendant, Tom was still found guilty. He mentions, “But there is one way in this country in which all men are created equal…”(274). This statement is a good example of what seems true to people is, in reality wrong. In the juries point of view, Tom was guilty. Their decision is bias mainly because Tom is black and Mayella is white. In reality, despite bias opinions made by the jury based on ethnicity, Tom Robinson is actually innocent. Finally Atticus states, “I am confident that you gentlemen will review without passion the evidence you have heard…”(275). This remark accurately agrees with truth versus reality. Atticus believes that the jury will make a true, fair decision based on the evidence given. In reality the jury makes a decision based on bias...

...when Hollywood movies like HOTEL RWANDAH and BLOOD DIAMOND clearly show us what the heck is happening, they are still Hollywood-ized. There is a sad glamorization of those events that causes people to watch films like these and still feel disconnected. Simply put ITS AMOVIE. Although to a Rwandan AMERICAN, it’s more than a movie, for some, those scripts were their bedtime stories, told by parents or grandparents who lived though them. If you asked a Salvadoran American about the Civil War in El Salvador, they would be able to give you a great “new” idea for a film about the events, but when other Americans watch that film, it would NOT be reality. While people, have been exposed to similar stories, histories, ancestral past, they still do not know one another stories, because that was NOT what they were exposed to. KONY 2012, in my opinion, simply exposes us to ONE person in the world who is evil. People know/will know about KONY, NOT because he has weapons of mass destruction, NOT because our government has political and financial interest in the country, but because ONE man was EXPOSED to the dire situation of another. This one man had the means and resources of physically being exposed to the hostility and desperation of a society created by colonizing countries like ourselves. Most of us DON’T. Though with access to the Internet, more people can be exposed to it with out having to travel, heck with out ever having to step...

...“Eddie Sue’s Child” is “not” what people said when they told others whose child I was, nor was it what I answered with when asked, “Whose child are you?” Eddie Sue’s Child was a catcall my friends started using against me when I became a teenager and when I was high school. They did so, I’m absolutely positively sure, because the name Eddie Sue is as crazy a mixed-up name as any that a parent could name their girl child. Since my friends could not humiliate the bearer of that crazy mixed-up name, why not torment the bearer’s defenseless child? I supposed was there only option. So with that, what is in the name, Eddie Sue? Not much, I’ll say! But it did offer a slick comeback for a few who dared to use Eddie Sue’s Child against me....
