<title>To Kill A Mockingbird Quotes</title>
<link>http://www.bookstove.com/Drama/To-Kill-A-Mockingbird-Quotes.34035</link>

<![CDATA[<p>Scout is told this because Scout is mad at Miss. Caroline because she told her not to read. Scout sometimes cannot understand why people are the way they are. Atticus is the one that has to teach her these things because her mom passed away when she was young.  In the novel this quote associates with many people such as Boo Radley, Mrs. Dubose, Mayella Ewell, Mr. Dolphus Raymond her brother, Jem and many others. This quote can be bonded with many people and is the most predominant quote in this novel.</p>


 <p>The quote connects with Boo Radley because of numerous of reasons. One of them is that he is an outcast in the neighborhood and no one can understand him clearly. If you considered this from his point of view then you will see the world as a dangerous place. You would also think that people think you are eccentric and think that they won't like you. You would be a child's nightmare without even doing anything to them.</p>


 <p>The quote “You never really understand a person until you consider things from his point of view” also can be allied with Mrs. Dubose. Mrs. Dubose is an angry nasty person to many people, but if you take your time and think about it she is having a hard time fighting off morphine. Since she is fighting off morphine she is very depressed and cannot hold her anger, so she yells the kids. You can admire her courage to fight morphine to stop her addiction.</p>


 <p>I think that Mayella Ewell is the person that is most affected by this quote because of the way she has to life and abide by. She is abused by her father, Bob Ewell. She is also very lonely and unhappy. She has no education because Bob Ewell takes the money from the government and buys whiskey or other alcoholic items. In the court if I was Mayella I would have done sadly what she would have done, because she would of have been beat and abused if she hadn't lied in court about the case. It was not a choice for her, so it couldn't have been her fault.</p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FDrama%2FTo-Kill-A-Mockingbird-Quotes.34035"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FDrama%2FTo-Kill-A-Mockingbird-Quotes.34035" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Raisin in the Sun Characters</title>

<description>
<![CDATA[<p>Mama, the head of the family in <strong>A Raisin in the Sun</strong>, reminds readers of a typical, caring mother who wants to fulfill the needs of her loved ones in any way possible. She strives to keep the family bundled up together in their small apartment. She understands that they are in poverty and, while this may be true, she continues to try and do her part in order for her household to function like a normal family.</p><p> When she is in the process of receiving a check from the insurance company for the death of her husband, she has ideas to spend it not for her use, but for the use of the whole family. “Some of it got to be put away for Beneatha and her schooling' - and ain't nothing going to touch that part of it. Nothing. Been thinking that we maybe could meet the notes on a a little old two-story somewhere, with a yard where Travis could play in the summertime, if we use part of the insurance for a down payment and everybody kind of pitch in. I could maybe take on a little day work again, few days a week -“ (Hansberry, 44). In this quote, Mama talks to Ruth about her plans for her money. Furthermore, Mama only talks about the needs of others. This shows that Mama is a righteous, kind person.</p><p> Not only Mama is a respectful, understandable mother, but she is also burdened with the task of keeping the other members of her family in line. She believes that she is still the head of this house, even when her children are in their 20s and 30s. She rightfully forces them to follow the rules of her house, and punishes them if they do not do so accordingly. “Now - you say after me, in my mother's house there is still God. In my mother's house there is still God” (Hansberry, 51). Before saying this quote, Beaneatha was wrongly turning against God, one of the many things Mama attempted to infuse her children with when they were younger. Mama slaps her to make her stop arguing, then forces her to understand that God will always be believed in as long as they are living in Mama's house. In conclusion, Mama is probably one of the most hard-working people in her family; however, she does not show it physically, but mentally. The family needs Mama to survive, especially with their living situation. If she were to die, it would be an emotional blow to everyone around her.    </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FHistorical-Fiction%2FRaisin-in-the-Sun-Characters.34212"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FHistorical-Fiction%2FRaisin-in-the-Sun-Characters.34212" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>Of Mice and Men </title>
<link>http://www.bookstove.com/Classics/Of-Mice-and-Men-.34214</link>
<description>
<![CDATA[<p>A thoughtful title for chapter 4 in <strong>Of Mice and Men </strong>would be, “Story of a Lonely Guy.” The stable buck, Crooks, finally opens up and tells someone how he truly feels about how he hasn't got a single person who really cares about him. <strong>For example</strong>, he says in chapter 4, “S'pose you didn't have nobody. S'pose you couldn't go into the bunk house and play rummy "cause you was black. How"d you like that? S'pose you had to sit out here an' read books. Sure you could play horseshoes till it got dark, but then you got read books. Books ain't no good. A guy needs somebody, to be near him” (Steinbeck 72). Knowing Lennie is too stupid to tell anyone else or actually understand him, Crooks confides in him just for the sake of having a conversation with another human being. <strong>On the other hand</strong>, Crooks isn't the only person who feels lonely in this story. </p><p>Curley's wife expresses herself to the guys in terms of how much she resents Curley for him forbidding her to talk to other people even when he doesn't talk to her meaningfully half the time. She says, “Think I don't like to talk to somebody ever' once in a while? Think I like to stick in that house alla time” (Steinbeck 77)? Curley's wife's situation is <strong>in much the same way</strong> as Crook's situation. For their own reasons, they cannot socialize with other people, making them depressed and ill. <strong>Consequentially</strong>, neither of them will lead normal lives. They will never be happy due to the fact that they are alone and will always be alone.</p>
 
 
 
 
 <h3>“Red and Blue and Green Rabbits”</h3>
 <p>I think a nice title for chapter 1 in <strong>Of Mice and Men</strong> would be, “Red and Blue and Green Rabbits.” This chapter is about how George and Lennie escape from Weed and have to start their jobs over. The title references to George and Lennie's dream of owning their own land, with their own house, their own crops and livestock, and a vegetable patch filled with multi-colored rabbits, which is the one thing Lennie is most excited about. <strong>For instance</strong>, Lennie tells George, “Let's have different color rabbits, George.” “Sure we will,” George replies, “Red and blue and green rabbits, Lennie. Millions of "em” (Steinbeck 16). Lennie"s whole image of seeing himself tending the rabbits in their new home is one of the main things that keep him and George going throughout the story. <strong>Also</strong>, when George reminds Lennie to keep out of trouble, he threatens him by telling him that he will not be allowed to tend the rabbits if he does get into trouble. This order holds on to Lennie in the story, making Lennie more careful and aware of his actions so that he will be allowed to care for the rabbits. <strong>Despite this</strong>, it may be hard for George to achieve his dream if he expects Lennie to help him get it. Already in chapter 1, George gets mad at Lennie a few times because of Lennie's immature behavior. </p>

<p>As an example, George explodes at Lennie, “God a'mighty, if I was alone I could live so easy. I could go get a job an' work, an' no trouble. No mess at all, and when the end of the month come I could take my fifty bucks and go into town and get whatever I want. An' whatta I got? I got you” (Steinbeck 11)! The relationship between Lennie and George might not be strong enough for George to keep taking care of Lennie like a younger brother. George might give up or just forget his dream. <strong>In my opinion</strong>, after reading the first chapter, it looks like there is a 50/50 chance between them parting ways or obtaining the land they want successfully.  </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FClassics%2FOf-Mice-and-Men-.34214"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FClassics%2FOf-Mice-and-Men-.34214" border="0"/></a>]]></description>

<title>A Raisin in the Sun</title>

<![CDATA[<p>“Well, for god's sake -if the moving men are here -LET'S GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE,” said Ruth when she and her family finally had resorted to move out of their battered old home to the new house they bought out in Clybourne Park (Hansberry 149). This is how the family felt after they told Mr. Lindner they were going to move into the new neighborhood. They all felt proud and excited of what they had done, regardless of the other problems the family would have to face once they move there. Nothing could stop them from what they were doing now. They all had become fearless due to the fact that they had finally been awarded what was owed to them for living in their cramped, old home for all these years. Moving into their new house was going to be the start of an endless happiness that would be experienced by everyone living in the family. The happiness created and generated by the family will never fade, and will keep them moving forward. They will all lead enjoyable and successful lives in the years to come. Each of them will be able to taste the newfound happiness the entire family had helped to achieve. </p>
<p>When the author Lorraine Hansberry wrote this book, <strong>A Raisin in the Sun</strong>, she poured her own experiences into her story, good and bad. The rest of the character's lives in the story are some of the author's better experiences. All of their lives will change in some way. Some might change radically, while others might change only slightly. However, all of the changes will be for the good. Mama, Walter, and Travis are three of the story's most important characters in terms of their future.</p>


 <p>	Mama, the mother of the family, may only change a little bit. She is the oldest member of the family, and therefore might not be able to accept too many new changes to her personal life. She will continue to live her life with the same values and goals as before they moved, but with a new position in the household. Mama has finally given Walter full authority over the family. She has made him the true head of the house. In this quote, Mama totally shuts Mr. Lindner off by saying that Walter's word was final. “I'm afraid you don't understand. My son said we was going to move and there ain't nothing left for me to say” (Hansberry 148-149).</p>

<p> Released of the responsibility of making the rules for the family, she is given the opportunity to rest, relax, and enjoy her remaining life until the end of her days. Still, she will keep the task of mediating a fight between two family members when the need arises. In this quote, she explains to Beneatha how Walter is feeling and how Beneatha should understand what he is going through. “Have you cried for that boy today? I don't mean for yourself and for the family "cause we lost the money. I mean for him, what he been through and what it done to him. Child, when do you think is the time to love somebody the most? When they done good and made things easy for everybody? Well then, you ain"t through learning -because that ain't the time at all. It's when he's at his lowest and can't believe in hisself "cause the world done whipped him so” (Hansberry 145)! Mama is one of the characters who keeps passing on her information to others, regardless of where they live. Incidentally, Mama will always help out those asking for it. Moreover, this trait is one of many that Mama will keep the same as before they moved. Mama will live a fruitful new life in her new home, while still assuming the position of mother to the family. Walter, on the other hand, will go through some more changes than Mama.</p>
 <p>	Walter, the newly christened “Head of the House,” will change in many ways. He will stop his drinking problem and concentrate on paying off the house. Walter will strive to get a better job than what he had, and work hard at that job so that he can support his family the way he was meant to support them. His relationship with Ruth will be as strong as ever, consequentially bringing the whole family closer than it has ever been. Walter will try to become as great as his father was; working hard for the good of the family. He will try to make it easier for his son, Travis, to lead his own life when he grows up. In this quote, Walter speaks to Mr. Lindner about how Walter"s father earned them the house in which they are about to move. “And we have decided to move into our house because my father -my father -he earned it for us brick by brick. We don't want to make no trouble for nobody or fight no causes, and we will try to be good neighbors. And that's <strong>all</strong> we got to say about that. We don't want your money” (Hansberry 148). Walter has at last taken on the role that his father once was. Not only is Walter heading the house, he is also going to become a better father. In this quote, Walter talks about his son being the sixth generation of his family in the United States. “What I am telling you is that we called you over here to tell you that we are very proud and that this -Travis, come here. This is my son, and he makes the sixth generation our family in this country” (Hansberry 148). Walter will provide the family with enough supplies so that Travis does not have to work as hard as he or his father did when he grows up. Walter wants Travis to lead a better life than what he did. All in all, Walter will definitely become just like his father. He will try to be as successful his father was for what he could do. His son, Travis will be happy with the life Walter left out for him.</p>
 <p>	Travis will change the most in the future, only because of his age. As he grows up, he will understand how hard his father works to support the family. Travis will help out as much as he can and learn new things everyday. He will grow into a successful adult, more than his father or grandfather ever was. In this quote, Mama tells Travis to stay and hear what Walter has to say to Mr. Lindner about how they were going to take a chance and move into their new home. “No Travis, you stay right here. And you make him understand what you doing, Walter Lee. You teach him good. Like Willy Harris taught you. You show where our five generations done come to” (Hansberry 147). </p><p>Travis stays and witnesses Walter standing up for the family to Mr. Lindner. Travis feels proud of his father and understands how important he is to the continuation of their family. Travis is the one person that is going to get the most out of moving to a new neighborhood and starting fresh. He is going to have many new opportunities now that the family is one step closer for successful lives. Walter feels so excited about his second chance, he promises Travis that he will provide him with the best of his ability so that Travis can mature and survive like a normal human being. In this quote, Walter tells Travis of what will happen to him when he becomes older. “Just tell me where you want to go to school and you'll <strong>go</strong>. Just tell me, what it is you want to be -Yessir! You just name it son…and I hand you the world” (Hansberry 109)! Travis feels like he can do anything now that his father believes in himself. He will become a smart, intelligent man who will make good decisions. His role model will be his father, Walter, who has laid out a road for a perfect life for Travis. All Travis has to do is walk on it. </p>
 <p>	In conclusion, the Younger family will become the happiest ever. Each of them will grow into what they can truly become. Mama will be able to sit back and watch the family she helped create live together joyously, successfully, and lovingly. That will be her ultimate pleasure, and when she dies, she will die peacefully. The entire family will have been changed from a group of people leading meaningless lives in a shabby old home, to a family that lead wondrous lives in a clean and tidy new home. Each of them will not be able to wait for the next day of their lives from now on.   </p><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FHistorical-Fiction%2FA-Raisin-in-the-Sun.34213"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=&u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bookstove.com%2FHistorical-Fiction%2FA-Raisin-in-the-Sun.34213" border="0"/></a>]]></description>
