“‘I know every last one of you’s in there a-layin’ on floor! Now hear me, Bob Ewell: if I hear one more peep outa my girl Helen not bein, able to walk this road I’ll have you in jail before sundown!'” Link Deas page 334
This quote shows bravery from Link Deas. In the time of this novel standing up for a black person was virtually unheard of and to stand up for a black person so viciously and with such enthusiasm was as rare as a half blue lobster. Link Deas taking Helen under his care after the death of Tom Robinson shows a lot of courage. Not only was supporting a black woman courageous but just choosing to help and take care of Helen and her kids despite the judgement of his white peers. Link Deas is courageous by choosing Helen over Bob Ewell. Instead of siding with his fellow white man he decides to side with who he believes is right. Helen is courageous as well by going through every day without Tom, as well as walking past the Ewell house to go work for Link Deas. Helen leaves her kids to be watched by someone else while she goes and works as a cook for a man.

-Jem, Chapter 1, page 8

This quote shows acceptance . Jem and Scout are quick to accept Charles Baker Harris “Dill” as their new friend and playmate. Jem and Scout don’t ask about his history or where he’s from before accepting him into their group. This shows how Jem and Scout are willing to accept anyone regardless of history. Jem and Scout are just kids and they have not yet learned to judge and ask questions before accepting someone or something. I think it says a lot about the personalities and moral standings of Jem and Scout that they were so willing, so quickly to accept Dill. They took a chance on accepting Dill and luckily for them it worked out well. It’s teaching Jem and Scout to take chances more often and be more accepting of other people. This shows how that they can accept other people regardless of the past and helps give reason as to why they want to get Boo to come out and see them. This quote also shows us what kind of person Dill is. He came to this new town possibly not expecting to make any friends but the first people he meets accept him and they all play together. Dill in return accepted them as well. Calpurnia and Atticus also accepted Dill into their home and their family table. Through all this mutual acceptance, Dill, Scout, and Jem all learn about accepting others which helps them in their mission to get Boo Radley to come out.

It was a dark Halloween night
and the city was filled with fright
Molly was walking around
with her friend Jessica not making a sound

They were both dressed up as fairies
both hoping for some candy and cherries
They walked from house to house
seeing costumes like a ghost, a witch, and a mouse!

When they came upon an old looking home
there were rats, blood and bones
“It looks scary!” Jessica whined
“Cmon don’t be a baby lets go inside!”
Molly and Jessica walked up the path
and the girls could feel the houses wrath
The wind howled and the trees shook
as the girls crept like crooks

They walked up to the door
the wooden steps groaned and moaned, the door covered with decor
the door was huge and scarred like an old circus elephant
Jessica walked up to the door and knocked all delicate

The door opened with a creak
standing in front of the girls was an old witch looking small and meek
“Trick or treat?” Molly asked, holding out her bag
“Of course my dearies!” mumbled the hag

The girls held out their bags and the witch walked back into the room
the witch had her hands closed and the girls were filled with gloom
She opened her hands to inside was a skull!
the girls were shocked and feeling null

The witch held the skull up and said
“You’ve been tricked now go home to bed!”
The witch smiled like a gnome
and the girls decided to walk home

The witch slammed the door in their faces
and when the girls looked back to see the house, nothing was there no traces
The moon was just a sliver in the sky
when the girls decided to never speak of this day and say good bye.

She is an ever burning hearth fire. She is constant, always there for the warmth or the comfort that fire can offer. When she is angry the fire grows and rages up towards the endless night sky. She is a calm sea during sunrise, the waters filled with fish and everything beautiful beneath the calm exterior. She is the sound of an entire stadium singing our national anthem personified.

She is a snake, slippery and deadly. She is the old magnificent Victorian house down the street, yet inside lives a hoarder. She is a beautiful carcass, dead inside. She is the horror you feel when a parent buries their child. She is the darkness, where all monsters hide. Her eyes are stars in the night sky, compared to the dullness and blackness of the rest of her body. She is a tornado, a hurricane, and a storm; unstoppable.

The story did a better job of capturing Edgar Allan Poe’s vision of the narrator. Edgar Allan Poe wrote the narrator so that you can see and feel his craziness. In the video it was harder to understand and the chaotic way of the narrator made the video confusing. The story showed how chaotic the narrators mind is without being overwhelming.
