Boo Radley was a good person but perceived as someone who must be isolated. He himself chose to isolate himself from society. The justice about whether to judge him as a murderer or a defender was overlooked by Atticus because of Radley's history. The instability of Boo's family highlights the theme of how even within homes, equal human rights can be ignored. Aunt Alexandra is traditional and prejudice at first but becomes open to the views of Atticus because of her love for the family.

The term "tabula rasa" means "blank slate."
Locke believed that each of us were born with a blank slate. This means that our minds, according to Locke, were entirely blank -- without rules, preconceptions, or information.
This slate would slowly be "filled in" by sensory experiences. Our sensory experiences, Locke believed, would add the information and the rules necessary to learn further.
Here's where to begin:
Each paragraph should be five to seven sentences long. It does not matter how long they are, just as long as they aren't micro-sentences.
first, you will need to get your audience's attention. your first sentence will be a sort of "Listen up! I'm about to blow your mind!" it could be a startling statement, a rhetorical question, quotation, a short funny story, or a short dramatic story. Ask yourself this: why should your audience listen? is it relevant to them? How? why should they believe what you say?
the second paragraph should express the need for change. now that you have your audience's attention, you will need to clearly show them what the problem is and the extent of it. in order to do this, you can use examples to illustrate how it impacts them, such as their happiness, future, health, family, neighborhood, Etc. you can use statistics, facts, figures, graphs, and diagrams. just remember to cite your sources and remember to check for credibility! give a good testimony, the more authoritative the better! the goal at the end of this paragraph is to have your audience wanting to hear your solution. they should agree that there's a problem.
the third paragraph should outline your answer or solution and show the audience how it will work. to do this, you need to outline your solution clearly, demonstrate how it meets the problem, and use examples to show how effective it is. you should support it with facts, graphs, testimonies, and you know the drill. :) the outcome of this paragraph is to get the audience to save themselves, "yes. This is possible, practical and sensible."
the end of your speech should give the audience satisfaction.
Good luck! I'm glad to help and answer any questions you may have about this assignment.
