Superstition

That the little boy will die at birth just because he did not move. Superstitions like step on a crack break your momma back. 

He man who was almost a man

He is in third person and they talk in southern accents.

His mother gets upset and says no. 

He was very nervous and tried not to tell the truth.

It represents the ride to his manly hood. 

He wanted to prove that he was a man so he a bought a gun.

Mrs. Maloney

I think that if Mrs. Maloney tried to do this in our society then she would have definitely not of been able to get away with it. The detectives would try and get closer to the wife and make sure that she would not get away with it. 

In my own opinion she probably been able to get away with it because she got rid of the blood stained leg of lamb and she did not kill him in a way that can be traceable. She was able to think right on her feet and quick. She planned this out very well. 

Blog 2: Holocaust Dictionary

Anschluss was one of the ones that surprised me the most. Anschluss means that their was an alliance between Austria and Germany. I did not really think that their was really an alliance. 

Blog 1: Part I Reflection

When you was taken from her family. It must of been very sad for her and she would be scarred for life. When someone is taken from someone they love, it hurts deep and it is very painful. 

News Report Chapter 4

Today very bad things have happened. I am a Nazi and I personally witnessed this outbreak. I did not try and help because I did not want to. I just stood their and watched it all happen. All of the Nazi's and me were making all of the Jewish people walk around the town so people would know that they were Jewish.

It was a very cruel, and If I was not a soldier I would of tried to help stop it. Since I and a Nazi reporter, I will not tell you my name. All I would say is that if I was not being forced to be a soldier, I would make sure it would stop and never happen again.

Post Taming Exam Response

In the start of the book, Petruchio states that he will tame Kate and make her his wife. He is positive that it will happen. He has a good conversation with her father and he makes her his wife. She has no say in if she marries him or not. He makes sure she does not like what she wears or what she eats. He also makes sure she does not sleep a lot. 

In the end of the book, the men have a wager about which wife will do what the husband says. Kate was the only one to come because she knows that she has to not only live and be married to Petruchio, but she also has to respect, love, and do what ever he tells her. She goes on saying a soliloquy about how the widow and her sister should feel about their husband. Petruchio then knows that he has properly tamed her and he has a great wife. 

Katherine soliloquy

In the end of the story, Katherine is told by her husband Pertruchio to tell the men and their wives why they are very good with each other. She says that she does what ever Pertruchio asks for and obeys his wishes. She is not like the other women, they are their own person. She is Pertruchio's property. 

Blog 12 A shrew is as a Shrew does

In the play, Taming of the Shrew, one character is a very mean and angry person and a man thinks he can try and change her. In the process of changing her, that very person changes into the mean one. It is a character change that makes the play very funny. They are two different people at the start of the play, but it changes.

The two characters are Pertruchio and Katherina. Katherina is the shrew in the play and Pertruchio is trying to tam her. Pertruchio ends of being the mean one and lies and does all of the things that Katherina did in the beginning of the play. He becomes the shrew and Katherina is the one that has to tam him. He is marrying her because of a lie and she is going to have to deal with it.

Point of View Trial

I am a black citizen of Maycomb county and I am here watching the court case of Tom Robinson.When Judge Taylor stated "Tell me what you know, everything that you know. You can do that right." I thought that he trying to say that Tom Robinson is to stupid to know what happened. He knew and he said everything the way it happened. 

Even though their are a lot of people a against Tom Robinson, I believe that he did not do it. His lawyer, Atticus Finch, is very good and he has stated many things that will not work with the lady's story. If Atticus keeps this up, he may have a chance of winning this.    

TKAM, The beginning of the Trial

If I was asked from my friend to take part in a trial to stand up for a person who was charged for stealing the PHHS scholarship fund. I would definitely take this offer because my friend asked me, and it sounded like a interesting case. Even though the student had the money in his bank account, it doesn't mean that it was from the school's scholarship fund. 

For a defense I would say that this person has never committed a crime for something or was accused of doing the crime. All of his coworkers had to say the only nicest things about him. In To Kill a Mockingbird, the person was also accused of making the crime and there are some factual information about him. He knows that he is right, but the jury is all white and they do not really like black men.
