Francis said to Scout. After Francis said that, he ran through the house getting Scout in trouble by Uncle Jack. He spanked her and sent her to bed. It came as a shock because Atticus never spanked Jem or Scout. Uncle Jack was Scout's favorite.
When Scout fights Cecil, she reacts violently to his ignorant comment and with the imagery of her clenched fists, a reader sees the anger that she feels. “My fists were clenched and I was ready to let fly.”(pg 74). Her anger fuels a sudden and violent release of emotion that doesn’t change or fix Cecil’s ignorance or her own; in fact it goads Cecil to insult Atticus again the next day. In the end, Scout’s violence didn’t solve anything, it just made a path for a problem to arise the following day. Next, Scout and Atticus are juxtaposed as their reactions to Cecil’s comment differ.

He’s ruinin’ the family
Being a parent can be difficult to discipline your children. In “To Kill a Mocking Bird” By Harper Lee, Uncle Jack had Punished Scout Finch without hearing Scout’s side of the story. Scout and Scout’s cousin Francis had gotten into an argument about Scout's dad Atticus Finch's court case. Atticus had to defend a black man in court which was disliked in Maycomb County during the 1930s. Scout’s Punishment was unfair.
Francis, scout's cousin, says on page 110 chapter 9, “If Uncle atticus lets you run around with stray dogs, thats his own business, like grandma says, so it aint your fault. I guess it ain't your fault if Uncle Atticus is a n***r love besides, but i'm here to tell you it certainly does mortify the rest of the family-”. She proceeded to beat Francis up due to the insults. In response to Scout beating Francis up, her uncle wore her out but then listened to her part of the story and apologized since he heard her reason for punching

As human being were constantly judged by our appearance and by our actions. Sometimes the way were judged may cause people to get the wrong idea of us. Being constantly judged was a common thing in the city of Maycomb back in the 1930’s, where almost every white person was racist or discriminated the blacks. Tom Robinson was a victim to discrimination and later on lost his life for a crime he hadn’t committed. When people are perceived this way it has the ability to change people’s lives forever.
Specifically, Francis was saying mean things to Scout about Atticus defending a person of a different race. To illustrate, Francis saw Scout at her house for Christmas and called Atticus an n-word-lover because he is defending Tom Robinson in his court case. Scout then hit him in the mouth because he was saying this, and then this caused Scout to get in trouble and everyone took Francis’ side because he is the one who got punched in the face. To describe how Scout teaches this to Uncle Jack Harper Lee writes, “Uncle Jack put his hands on his hips and looked down at me. ‘And why do I not understand children, Miss Jean Louise?
She doesn’t tolerate people ridiculing Atticus and fights most everyone she can over it. At Christmas, Cousin Francis says Atticus is ruining the family. Scout responds by punching him: “This time, I split my knuckle to the bone on his front teeth” (Lee 112). This quote shows Scout is not afraid to stand up for what she believes is right.
Mistreatment is a problem that can change and affect the way people present themselves, and can affect the whole social ladder of society. The novel To Kill a Mockingbird, written by Harper Lee, shows the importance of both learning and demonstrating empathy through events experienced by Jem, Scout, Atticus, and Tom Robinson. To Kill a Mockingbird is both a young girl’s coming of age story and a drama about the roots and consequences of racism and prejudice, probing how good and evil can coexist within a single community or individual. It is about Scout and her brother Jem trying to understand and relate to their father, Atticus, who is a lawyer charged with defending a black man falsely accused of raping a white woman. Harper Lee shows acceptance to all types of people in a couple of ways, including Atticus defending a black man, Scout not being afraid of Boo Radley, and Scout accepting the fact that Walter Cunningham is poor.
The justice system has always been the heart of America. But like this country, it has many faults. Prejudice has played a major role in the shaping of this system. In the 1930’s the way a courtroom was set up was completely different from how it looks to day. In the book To Kill A MockingBird, Harper Lee shows just how different it is.
Punishment in The Scarlet Letter In life everyone falls short of making the right decisions, but mistakes do not define a person, one is defined by the deeds they accomplish and the tasks they are able to overcome even in the most difficult trials. In The Scarlet Letter, Nathaniel Hawthorne asserts the fact that self punishment is more conflicting than social punishment in order to prove the Puritans customs were askew. He rebuts the Puritans through the main characters Hester Prynne and Arthur Dimmesdale as they face hardships of the societal humiliation as well as the forgiveness they must give themselves. At times, the punishment should fit the crime, but under certain circumstances, the crime itself holds all the punishment that is
World War I, referred to as the Great War, is depicted tragically, but no less accurately, by “All Quiet on the Western Front.” In detail, the film accurately portrays the horrific realities of World War I. During the Great War, government propaganda manipulated civilians’ thoughts, which led them to believe that the war was worth fighting for, and thus convinced individuals to go to war. “All Quiet on the Western Front” begins by painting a picture in which a professor teaching Paul and his classmates emphasizes on how the war is in need of men of character and strong will, who will triumph as brave heroes. Moving on, the professor, imbued with admiration, exclaims that Germany is a country of success which needs their help, which is used
