... with all of the teammates. It is recorded that in one practice session Bill Cartwright was hit in the face by Micheal Jordan. They were in a disagreement as to if Micheal distributes the ball to the "bigmen" enough. Sam Smith also says that Jordan is known throughout the Bull's organization for not getting along very good with fellow players. Even with all of the problems inside the club they still looked good on the court and were good enough to win. The Jordan Rules did a very good job of describing a whole year of basketball in one book. It had good, in depth, logs of exactly what the players do on off days and before their games. Although it tells that J ...

... of them living together. As a kid Janie lived in the house where her grandmother was a nanny for a white family. She was treated the same as the white children, they ate together, played together, even got punished together. Janie, unlike most of the blacks at that time, did not see any discrimination while she was growing up. That was the building block of her strong personality. There was some teasing in school about her living in a white folks home, but she did not pay much attention to that. Now if I may go off the subject for a moment I would like to say how beautifully and descriptively the book is written. There is one passage in particular that I tr ...

She was obviously mad at me for ruining her chewing enjoyment but I didn't want her getting sick because knowing Atticus, I'd be the one who would have to take care of her and that wouldn't go over to well with me since I know I could have stopped her from getting sick. I think I yelled at her and said that isn't she supposed to know that she isn't allowed even near those trees. We all know about that weird guy Boo Radley and we know that property is off limits. I told her that she would probably get killed if she were caught. She said in defense that I touched the house once. This was a clear reference to Boo Radley's ...

... and cause damage to a living, and or a non-living thing. Thirdly it is courageous of Atticus to be willing to charge Jem with Bob Ewell's death. He risked the loss of Jem in the process. He also risked the chance of Jem getting mad at Atticus, and never talking to him. Also It was courageous of Atticus to teach his children not prejudge others until they really know what they are really going through. There is a quotation that Atticus said “Never judge anyone, until you have been in their shoes, and walked around in them.” (86). When saying that to Jem, and Scout he risked the chance of them not listening to him. Lastly it is courageous of him standing up to the ind ...

... the Invisible Man is declaring that he will not put up with this kind of treatment. Who would expect the Invisible Man of all people to make a statement such as this one? The second literary technique Ellison uses is antagonism. The narrator's reaction to an advertisement sign stating that whiter skin is better shows the black man moving towards a feeling of importance. Using the sign as an opposing force, Ellison shows his passion for the negative attitude towards blacks by giving the Invisible Man a sense of hostility towards the advertisement. The opposing force of the white man taking away the old couple's belongings was also an inspiration for the black ...

The number of hunters kept on growing and he began to get other kids to hunt with him. They soon had a routine (the dance) and whenever they did thad they had to kill, because they got so pumped up when they did it. Jack then began killing as if it were a luxury.

He was a bully who always wanted to be the leader and be looked upon with ...
