To Kill a Mocking Bird

To Kill a Mocking Bird

The story takes place in the fictional town of Maycomb, Alabama, during the Great Depression. The protagonist is Jean Louise (“Scout”) Finch, an intelligent though unconventional girl who ages from six to nine years old during the course of the novel. She is raised with her brother, Jeremy Atticus (“Jem”), by their widowed father, Atticus Finch. He is a prominent lawyer who encourages his children to be empathetic and just. He notably tells them that it is “a sin to kill a mockingbird,” alluding to the fact that the birds are innocent and harmless. When Tom Robinson, one of the town’s black residents, is falsely accused of raping Mayella Ewell, a white woman, Atticus agrees to defend him despite threats from the community. At one point he faces a mob intent on lynching his client but refuses to abandon him. Scout unwittingly diffuses the situation. Although Atticus presents a defense that gives a more plausible interpretation of the evidence—that Mayella was attacked by her father, Bob Ewell—Tom is convicted, and he is later killed while trying to escape custody. A character compares his death to “the senseless slaughter of songbirds.” The children, meanwhile, play out their own miniaturized drama of prejudice and superstition as they become interested in Arthur (“Boo”) Radley, a reclusive neighbour who is a local legend. They have their own ideas about him and cannot resist the allure of trespassing on the Radley property. Their speculations thrive on the dehumanization perpetuated by their elders. Atticus, however, reprimands them and tries to encourage a more sensitive attitude. Boo makes his presence felt indirectly through a series of benevolent acts, finally intervening when Bob Ewell attacks Jem and Scout. Boo kills Ewell, but Heck Tate, the sheriff, believes it is better to say that Ewell’s death occurred when he fell on his own knife, sparing the shy Boo from unwanted attention. Scout agrees, noting that to do otherwise would be “sort of like shootin’ a mockingbird.”

(This story was Previously called The Lost Spirit Summoner) _____________________________________________________________________ Arcin Rina Lynch seemed to be living a fairly good life, her boyfriend was about to take over his father's company, and she was working as a graphic designer (part-time) which was something she wanted to do since she was a kid, and had no major issue with her high-class family at the time either. That all changed when her boyfriend suddenly broke up with her for no reason what follows is a fight with her step-mother. She chooses to get away from it all to try and get her emotions in check. However, she's got little time for that as one thing leads to another and now Arcin is in the magic-filled world of Medeis due to the god-like being Animus, hurt and with no clue how to return home. Follow Arcin as she explores Medeis doing as Animus asks in the hope to find a way to return. But as time goes on and more questions than answers appear, what is the reason this all began? What is the reason that the corrupt beings are after her? Will everything be said and done when she returns to Terra or will more await her? In the end, will she really want to return to the world of Terra after it is all said and done and never return? ________________________________________________________________________ Unable to use his magic he was trapped and sure that he was about to die he had no way to fend of the beasts and humans that made their way towards him. He closed his eyes not wanting to see the moment before death claimed him. 'Damn it if only I could have-' his thoughts were cut off by the sudden human scream in front of him. He opened his eyes in surprise to see a dark cloaked figure with a familiar fox mask that had a unique tattoo on their wrist. A being he met sometime before this, cut down beast and human alike with her staff weapon. Blood flew and sprayed the ground from both the group in front of him and the being that stood in front of him... protecting him. The being made quick work of the group in front of them (which was a group of 7). "Ha if they think that making me unable to cast any form of magic would put me at a disadvantage they are wrong this is nothing compared to when bullets are flying in a fight. I only broke a light sweat." The being laughed in a pleased tone before turning around. He quickly closed his eyes he could hear the figure get closer to him. "'Sigh'... you idiot I told you that you should a least carry a dragger. You managed to get dragged into this and you almost died cause you rely too much on your magic." The being sighed before touching his cheek lightly. "Luckily it seems he's only unconscious as he's breathing. I almost didn't make it in time... I'm sorry." The being muttered before lightly kissing them on the cheek healing the light injury on his face.

Jessica Lynch was a U.S. soldier. Her story was initially misrepresented by the media. In fact, she was injured in a vehicle accident during the Iraq War. Later, she was captured by Iraqi forces. The real heroism lies in her survival and recovery from the ordeal, rather than the over - hyped 'action - hero' narrative that was initially spread.
