He depicts Argos as though he were a puppy again, saying “as soon as he saw Odysseus standing there, he dropped his ears and wagged his tail’ (Homer 180). Argos’ blatant display of happiness at his owner’s long return is a sign of his faithfulness and love for his master This meeting pulls at Odysseus’ heartstrings as he takes in the shape of his old and mistreated hound, and he tears up. He hadn’t been taken care of properly in the years since Odysseus left, but Argos still remembered the man, proving his obedience.

It’s a good example when Elie says, “It’s over, God is no longer with us, but the march continued to go on”(76). Even though most of the people felt as if God wasn’t with them anymore, they continued to endure all of the physical and mental scarring. A twenty mile march wasn’t going to stop all the thousands of prisoners, they continued to overcome many obstacles throughout the book. All of the prisoners that survived put their minds to something, and they were able to overcome many obstacles. Obstacles can be very difficult, but you have to keep

Also, she walks the long worn path everyday just for medicine for her dead grandson that died from lye poisoning, according to the nurses at the end of the story, they say “she makes these trips on the regular”, “she lives way back off Old Natchez Trace” which probably means that she walks an exceedingly long time just for “medicine” that their is no use for. Furthermore, another reason why Phoenix Jackson is delusional is because

This comradery can be seen in the most famous terrorist attack of the twenty-first century: 9/11. Ozzy Custodio, one of my fellow church members, is from New York and had many family members and friends who were still in New York on September 11. He had never seen people of all beliefs, genders, and ages rally behind something so strongly as they did the American flag after the attack. To see an entire city, then an entire country, put aside their differences to support each other and provide relief for those directly affected was earth-shaking. These reactions represented an embodiment of the people of America.

Thesis: The well known and award winning novel To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee should continue to stay on the freshman reading list for years to come because of Atticus Finch’s wise lessons about courage, empathy, and equality do not only impact his kids, but many readers can learn and apply them everyday life as well. One of the most memorable lessons taught by Atticus is about courage, where he explains that courage is presented through thoughtful actions and perseverance, not with objects, such as weapons. One example of this is when Atticus’ had shot the rabid hound in chapter ten. When an ill and dangerous dog was found wandering the streets of Maycomb, someone had to shoot it. Heck Tate, the sheriff, was going to kill the dog, however, he was not as accurate as Atticus or “ One shot Finch” (Lee 128).

The black box in a sense represents tradition. The box is used year after year no matter what the circumstances are they always use that same box. “Mr. Summers spoke frequently to the villagers about making a new box, but no one liked to upset even as much tradition as was represented by the black box”, (Jackson pg.2). Nobody knows why they use the same box, or how they started using that particular box in the first place.” The black box grew shabbier each year”, so even though the box is in horrible condition the people still make no changes and just stick in little bits of paper to just cover up the blemishes and basically
