Why would Mayella lie? Mayella would lie because the only family she has is her father Robert E. Lee Ewell. Everyone in Mayella’s family has either left or died. Mayella and her father do not want to show disgrace to their social life in the community. In reality, the Ewells have no social standing. They are considered poor, ignorant, and unlearned.

How I Got My Brace We lost our soccer games, 2-1. On the ride home I was sitting in the back with a friend, while my sister sat up front, her long red hair hanging over the seat. We both saw the same dark blue punch-buggie fly passed us on the highway. She turned around and looked at me, I looked stared back at her. She screamed, “Punch buggie blue!” We both went to punch each other, our hands colliding. I let out a yelp of pain and retraced my hand back, spikes of pain spreading through it. It

I completely agree with you that Tom Robinson in no way could have choked, punched, and raped a girl at the same time. With one hand that would be impossible to do all at the same time without Mayella being able to get away. If you think about it Robinson would have to have quite a rhythm in order to actually accomplish it, but if Mayella really was thrashing about he could not have gotten into a rhythm. Robinson’s movements would have gotten clunky and Mayella’s kicking and thrashing should have

in a right-handed society, I have been able to witness some of these examples. Well, for starters, a leftie is mostly called a Southpaw. A Southpaw by definition is a left-handed boxer. We have many advantages on other people. Don’t be jealous though! We are just special! For the most part, Southpaws have a strong advantage in sports. Certain sports such as basketball and baseball are the most complex. In basketball, it is difficult for the defense to play defense. Since most players are right-handed

react, and change? As an interpreter reading the speech “Ain’t I A Woman” I was impacted by Sojourner Truth (Isabella Baumfree). This was possible only after I analyzed her speech for hidden meanings. The speech addressed Baumfree’s views on women’s rights, specifically African American women. She used rhetorical devices such as pathos, ethos, logos, allusion to make her argument more impactful, and it worked.

The first thing I would talk about is the main character Jonas, exactly like the book,

Daniel Wallace’s essay “Killings,” which was recently featured in The Bitter Southerner, is a very honest explanation as to how the author ended up killing a chicken. The essay features a section in which the Wallace discusses “the early years” of his experiences with death, and the childhood he describes is one that is very stereotypically Southern. Playing outside and messing with bugs are much more common in the South than in the North, so this essay embodies Eudora Welty’s idea that the location
