The theme of tolerance. Tol·er·ance (noun), the ability or willingness to tolerate something, in particular the existence of opinions or behavior that one does not necessarily agree with. When you practice the act of tolerance, you accept one another along with their ideas and beliefs/ opinions— even if you disagree or find them nonsensical. Tolerance is a big matter in both The Boy in the Striped Pajamas and Glee. It is also important to have tolerance because if not, destruction and chaos may transpire. Glee conveys the message of tolerance by including many minorities and different people in Glee Club. Santana is Hispanic, Mercedes is an African American, and Rachel is a Jew with two gay dads. They were born that way and aren't afraid to show it no matter how many times they get “slushied". Beginning with the first episode, Fin (the quarterback) stood up to the football team when they put in Artie into the porta potty. “I’m not afraid to be called a loser ‘cause I can accept who I am. But I am afraid of turning my back on something that actually made me happy for the first time in my sorry life.” He becomes tolerant of what he actually wants, to stay in Glee Club regardless of what his peers say. Anther way that they convey tolerance is by having Kurt Hummel be a gay kid in Glee Club. The moment he walks into the choir room he …show more content…

Both are primarily using tolerance with friends no matter how different they are. Fin and Rachel are both really close as well as Bruno and Shmuel with or without other people not tolerating them. The “highest” class is tolerate of the “lowest” class nonetheless. This is a good thing because accepting each other no matter what others think or say is important. People like the jocks, Nazis, cheerios, Sue, and Hitler aren’t tolerant of things they do not like and make people suffer rather than thrive because of

The show does an incredible job of including four major ethnicities, draws little attention to their differences, and simply goes about the show acting as though nothing is out of the norm. This is a wonderful portrayal of having a multiethnic friend group and displaying how everyone’s differences are welcome and accepted. Next is the conversation between Lina and Angela when Angela asks Lina where she went to college and Lina explains that she never did, but works as a waitress and a stylist. This was an interesting conversation because it is one of the first times in the show a stereotype is pointed out. The conversation is left feeling a little awkward, but is brought back up minute thirty when Lina tells Jane Angela was rude to her, and Jane explains that they call her, “Weird Angela,” because of her social skills, but she meant no harm.

In Our Town, Thornton Wilder arranges an empty stage to portray life in Grover’s Corner as a stereotypical American town, and he seeks to enlighten his audience on a more relevant aspect of the seemingly boring village in this way. Wilder puts emphasis in displaying an altogether normal community through the narration of the stage manager and the stage presentation to provide viewers with an understanding of the emotional complexity of a human’s life. For instance, in the beginning of act one, he sets a literal stage as an introduction into the setting of the story: “No curtain. No scenery. The audience, arriving, sees an empty stage in half-light.

The Sneetches, by Doctor Seuss is a literary masterpiece for children of all ages. The simple and humorous book with vivid illustrations is more than meets the eye.

The black man on the back porch is afraid of the rattle snake because it is bad luck, or the innocent little slave is quick to believe everything one tells them at the drop of the hat. These are just some of the many racist stereotypes of the 1840s. A character named Jim is the star African American whom Twain bestoys the mission of being the stereotypical black man to prove a point. He along with his much more pallor companion Huck go on exciting adventures that unfold the events which expose the racist conduct of the time. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Twain saturates his novel with potent images of acute racism severe enough as to create a satirical mien that exposes the absurdity of prejudice.
