Culture In Lord Of The Flies

Baseball is a happy place for Santiago. DiMaggio is his role model and the old man uses him to measure his earnings and experiences. He also represents a common man attaining out of the park achievements through perseverance and dedication. Baseball brings joy and excitement to his life and a reason to walk up every morning as well as to keep him going.

(1) This passage comes right after his pitcher almost got hit by a baseball and got shook up. So as exhibited in the passage, he displays great concern for the safety of his team. He also shows that he dedicates a considerable amount of effort to the success of the team. Therefore, the main concept that people should learn from Mr. Galanter would be that taking care of people should always have the highest priority. Mr Malter displays himself as a dedicated father throughout the book.

The poem represents more than just the son’s recount of childhood baseball because the son wants to “let this be the sign” to his father that he loves and appreciates him (21). Moreover, the title of the poem, “Sign for My Father, Who Stressed the Bunt,” adds to this sense of the poem expressing the love the son shares for his father. Another symbol, or even implied metaphor, is the bunt which represents self-sacrifice by extension. Since the father desperately wants his son to understand the value of the “bunt,” he clearly cares deeply for his son. The son claims that his father “could drop it [the bunt] like a seed,” which implies that the father’s sacrifice has been gingerly placed in order to grow strong one day (8).

He sticks to his goal of trying to prove that he is the luckiest man alive during the whole speech by giving several examples and explanations from his life. While communicating this point, he is also showing to the audience that there are many things to live for even when some negative things are happening. Overall, the most persuasive appeal used is pathos because it really makes the audience open up and believe what he is saying. Lou Gehrig’s farewell to baseball speech was about much more than just baseball.

I think by reading this book, that perhaps Harper Lee has fulfilled her intentions with me as a reader, that I have therefore become a better person. I find Atticus a very idealistic, moral character. He has a great sense of humor and tries his best to raise his children as a single parent. I like how Lee used the first part of To Kill a Mockingbird for us to get to know Atticus as a person and a father, not just as a white lawyer defending an African American. Atticus also has strong views on the treatment of whites toward blacks; I loved what he said in the book: "As you grow older, you'll see white men cheat black men every day of your life, but let me tell you something and don't you forget it - whenever a white man does that to a black man, no matter who he is, how rich he is, or how fine a family he comes from, that white man is

McMurphy stands up for the other men and teaches them valuable life lessons. As a result, he becomes a well-needed hero and role model as he leads his twelve “disciples” into a new life of freedom. In fact, his abbreviations, RPM, which stands for revolutions per minute, are a reference to his heroic actions.

He showed courage within his daily life constantly. He made it a point and a continuous effort to raise his two kids Jem and Scout to grow up with a sense of pride. When Judge Taylor approached Atticus on the porch late at night in chapter 16, I knew he was only being appointed because Judge Taylor saw something in Atticus that made him fit to defend Tom Robinson. It takes a lot of courage to willingly defend someone who at the time was looking down upon because of the color of their skin. Adding on to the fact that Atticus wanted to teach his children to grow up free of prejudice; Atticus gives Scout an important life lesson.

Baseball loved Jeter, especially how he played. Even if the Yankees lost, Jeter would win at something. Baseball wanted Jeter to play forever no matter what happened. Baseball gave him money, fans, and more friends to try and get him to stay. Eventually Jeter was getting old and got hurt.

In the book, Atticus’s educational quotes and ideas make the book to sound judicious.

d. Instructional Ideas: I can have my students read this book as encouragement. Nobody is perfect, even the best, such as Casey, who gets out. If you fall, get back up. Casey did not let that strikeout ruin his baseball career. It motivates you to give your best and to never quit no matter what.

One of the main themes through The Chosen is the use of eyes and sight. Beginning with the baseball game where Reuven loses his sight, this theme plays a large part throughout the book. The baseball game changes how Reuven sees his life in the literal fashion as seen when he says “I wish I was outside,” I said “I envy them being able to walk around like that. They don’t know how lucky they are.”
