Fifty Shades Of Feathers Analysis

Fifty Shades of Feathers
Human nature is not black and white but black and grey. Graham Greene Growing up is tough. It does not matter whether it is physical or mental; change is always tough. It is stressful to move to a new school, to start a diet, to believe that yes, that person indeed won the national elections and not the other whom all sociological agencies predicted would be the final winner. Adaptation has never been a strong side of mankind. People are just not fond of the fact they need to change in order to survive both as species and personalities. And if all those small steps one makes to and fro their zone of comfort everyday are enough of a drag, how would this person feel if they suddenly lost everything they believed was

Innocence does not have a color, but once lost, the action is irreversible. Scout Finch, the main protagonist in the novel, is a character in development. She starts out as a six-year-old girl, who blindly believes the world is fair; there everyone gets what they deserve when they deserve.

Similarly to Boo Radley, the burden of the reality is too heavy for the characters to carry and they get crushed under its weight. Tom and Arthur embody the nature of innocence, which refuses to let go until the very last moment and is therefore, either murdered or forcefully kept hidden from the public eye. It is from those characters the reader learns that innocence is precious and fragile
