Types of Bravery & Social Codes

Types of Bravery & Social Codes

 Part A
Personal & Emotional Hardship - when someone has experienced something in the past or is experiencing now and must be brave to get through it.
ex: Mrs. Dubose quits her addiction to morphine and dies peacefully.(148)
Physical Bravery - when someone is brave enough to do something that puts them through danger. 
ex: Atticus hasn't shot a gun in over 30 years and he is brave enough to go up to a mad dog and shoot it. (127)
Courage for Family - when someone has to be brave to stand up for there family members when someone makes fun of them.
ex : Jem attacks Mrs. Duboses' flowers because of what she said about his father even though he heard that she carried around a pistol and he knew that Atticus would be very angry.(137)
Part B
1. White- are able to do as they wish. They can go to Church and school wherever they want to without any danger. They can own them and put them through hard labors.
2.Black- are discriminated against by white people.  They are not allowed the rights that white people are allowed. They work for white people and usually are hired for very harsh work and little pay. They are allowed only a small beat up church and they are usually very poor.
3. Men vs Women- Men are considered stronger and inferior over women. Women stay home cooking and cleaning for the men while they go work wherever they want to and are the head of the house.

 But their Monday night trip to Dallas comes as the rival Cowboys (1-4) are reeling, having lost two in a row.


They would seem to have plenty of talent, but they lack an identity. Sure, there is the talented quarterback Tony Romo.


On defense, DeMarcus Ware is a sack artist (will the Giants use Shawn Andrews, who has been useful in run-blocking situations, to bolster their offensive line in pass protection?). But for some reason, the Cowboys have not been able to put it all together. Owner Jerry Jones has publicly supported Coach Wade Phillips, but if Dallas continues to play poorly despite having the highest payroll in the N.F.L., the questions is: How long his confidence will last?

When Golding describes that, "He was the only boy on the island whose hair never seemed to grow." the boy he is referring to is Piggy. The quote describes how Piggy is the symbol of reasoning and practicality in the book.  Piggy's appearance doesn't change at all during the book while all the other boys' attitudes and morals change. His hair is still curly and short, and he is still plumper than the rest. This represents that not even Jack can change his opinions or views on what is right or wrong. He demonstrates that no one should ever make you change your mind or make you believe what they want you to.

In the quote, "He was the only boy on the island whose hair never seemed to grow." the boy  referred to is Piggy.  Ralph is describing how Piggy is the symbol of reasoning. Piggy does't change at all during the book while all the other boys turn to savages. In this part of the story, all of the other boys appearances on island change, while Piggy stays the same.  His hair is still curly and short, and he is still plumper than the rest. This represents that no one on the island will change his opinions or views on what is right or wrong. The moral of the story is that no one should ever make you change your mind or make you believe what you want them to.
