<span>I believe that this line has a literal and figurative meaning to it. The literal meaning would be that What your child does and what a child does is what is in there world and what they would live on from that world. Meaning that if your child is in a world of violence that the child will exhibit the violence and there fore lives on it, or in it. The figurative meaning would be your child lives on certain needs, they have the physical which is obvious, food, water, shelter, and then they have the mental needs which is what i believe this line is referring to. The mental needs would be that they need comfort, love, compassion. So what your child does, is what they need in life. If your child is acting in anger and aggression, they need compassion to live on.</span>

1. be clear and concise - don't make it too long

2. highlight key parts about your life but don't go into too much detail

3. indirectly describe yourself. e.g you may be a confident person, but maybe, instead of outright stating it you could list a few things that have connotations of being confident. e.g public speaker

To kill a mocking bird

1. Dalton Conley says that the differences between how black and white people describe themselves are as follows:

a. Black people emphasize their skin color while white people do not.

 

b. Blacks demean themselves by stressing their classes based on wealth.

c. Black people think that they cannot rise above their levels because they are not upwardly mobile in their thought patterns.

<h3>Why does Conley Believe the Differences? </h3>

Conley believes these differences exist because of his personal experiences living among the black communities.

 

2. One will tend to agree with Conley because blacks still worship whites, assuming the whites to be angels from heaven because of their color.

<h3>Personal Descriptive Adjectives: </h3>

3. Many adjectives can describe a person. The following are prominent: Persistent, Genuine, Enthusiastic, Disciplined, Straightforward, Modest, and Tenacious.

 

On the other hand, the following adjectives took longer to think of: Generous, Independent, Resourceful, Courageous, Practical, Energetic, Motivated, Adaptable, and Truthful.

 

Some adjectives are easy to think of more than others. When you look at a person, some qualities are visible while others remain concealed.

<h3>Racial and Class Distinctions </h3>

4. When Dalton Conley says that <em>“race and class are nothing more than a set of stories we tell ourselves to get through the world,”</em> he means that people should not over-emphasize racial and class distinctions because they do not make a person human.

 

I concur because race and class are like appendages. People can live without making distinctions based on race and class.

 

Thus, we can agree with Dalton Conley's expressed opinions in "Honky," noting that "To Kill a Mocking Bird" was authored by Harper Lee.
