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.
Scout's family gathers for Christmas where she and her cousin Francis are forced to hang out. That's where she hears Francis and Aunt Alexandra talk badly about Atticus helping Tom Robinson. First, she starts chasing him but Aunt Alexandra gets Scout in trouble. Then after everything calmed down. Francis whispers to Scout that Atticus is a N*****-lover.
Francis disrespects Atticus by expressing the opinion of his superior. Scout, Atticus, Jem, and Jack go to Finch’s Landing. Scout and her cousin Francis go outside to play after Christmas dinner. Francis was telling Scout what his grandma says, when he said, “ Grandma says it’s bad enough he lets you all run wild, but now he’s turned out a n***** lover we’ll never be able to walk the streets of Maycomb again. He’s ruinin’ the family
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
Scout and Jem are forced to deal with racial slurs and insults because of Atticus ' role in the trial. Scout has a very difficult time not physically fighting with other children due to this. Tom is asfsd to be guilty, even after Atticus proves that Tom did not commit the crime. Atticus unintentionally offends Bob Ewell, the father whose daughter is accusing Tom.
Aside from learning about her fellow citizens of Maycomb, Scout also had to start to protect herself, and her father from their neighbors and classmates. The atmosphere of discrimination towards the black defendant, and hatred towards their father, caused many uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous situations for the Finch Family. When Scout is confronted by her uncle Jack about a fight between Herself and her classmate, Scout responds “-tell you one thing right now, Uncle Jack, I’ll be-- I swear before God if I’ll sit there and let him say something about Atticus.” (114) This quote explains how she had to protect her father, and she could not just stand around and let him say malicious things about Atticus. Those actions were very brave of Scout, but she did not stop there.
Iireh Lee Mrs. Han English AG 22 July 2023 Doing right can lead to consequences The scorching hot sun blazed on the two children who were having a standoff. “Nixxer-Lover” Francis, Scout’s cousin, whispered. Scout’s fist smashed into his mouth, but it was only a matter of time before she got into trouble with her Uncle because of it. Why was Scout the only one punished?
Not only against Cecil Jacobs, Scout also fought her cousin Francis (who spewed similar comments). Scout’s anger led Aunt Alexandra to notice her unruly behavior, which made Aunt Alexandra to chastise her niece for not behaving like a lady should. To conclude, the racial, sexist, and behavioral stereotypes in To Kill a Mockingbird affect how Scout and Atticus act, and thus shape the overall plot of the novel through how the Finch family endured
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.
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.
To Kill a Mockingbird is a book that deals with many current events during the 1930’s. A major event was the death punishment. The death punishment was used to punish criminals who committed a terrible crime. Tom Robinson was going to have to be given the death punishment.
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
