From the beginning this passage talked about Faizula
doing things for other people, not really looking for anything in return. He didn’t
want to bother the person behind him by leaning his seat back, let other people
go ahead even though he didn’t really want to. For a while it didn’t seem like
he would catch a break but when he was nice to the guy selling roses, and he
saw how it impacted him, all his niceness payed off.
I think the roses in the story represent the beauty
that can come out of one kind act. It sounds cheesy but, in the story, it talked
about how Faizula felt good about giving the man a smile and extra money, even
though the whole day he was being kind to no avail. The man was trying to sell
the roses to many people but each one shot him down, then when Faizula changed
his mind and bought one it changed the man’s whole mood, and in a way gave him
hope.
Faiula’s culture influences the story by creating a
sort of guideline we know he must follow. Not only should one be always kind
but self-disciplinary. He showed self-discipline when he didn’t break his fast
and chose to focus on his work. Through out the story he was consistent with
his actions and thoughts and that emphasizes how good of a person he really is.
Summary of the research paper<span />
Answer:
Explanation:
Mr. Cunningham, a hard-working man who struggles each day to feed his family without using government assistance, typically leads a good life. However, he is one of the men that shows up at the jail, with violent intents towards Tom Robinson. He is one of many men from the town, who, if you see them in their everyday lives, seem normal, kind and decent. They are upstanding citizens. The "blind spots" that Atticus refers to is the fact that Mr. Cunningham, like many of the men with him, is blind to the fact that black people are their equals. They are racist, and their racism makes them blind to any sort of rational thought when it comes to black people. The blind spots that Mr. Cunningham has, leads him to the jail, to enact violence upon an innocent black man, just because he is black. Cunningham would never do this to a white man--he is blind to white man's cruelty, and overly sensitive to any possible scandal involving a black man. So, these men, who live normal lives of decency, turn into irrational violent men when it comes to race.
Atticus is different because he does not have these blind spots--he tends to see people based upon the "content of their characters," not upon the color of their skins, or the social circles that they fit into. He knows Tom is innocent, and so will protect and defend him--it doesn't matter if he's black. His blackness does not factor into the equation, whereas for the mob that shows up at the jail, the fact that Tom is black is the ONLY factor in the equation. I hope that those thoughts help--good luck
