scout for the Confederate army, failed to do his job for General Lee. Because of this, the Union was able to gain control of the high ground for the remainder of the battle. It was the bloodiest battle of the war, and the bloodiest battle ever fought on North American soil to this day. The bloodiest single-day battle was the battle of Antietam. The first major engagement of the battle was the fight for Cemetery Hill. Union General John Buford’s cavalry scouts reported that the main body of…

really gives us any details about Annabel Lee herself; she doesn’t talk and we don’t really know what she looks like so this allows the reader to characterize Annabel Lee however they see fit. Also, this could be the poet’s way of showing that she is perfect in his eyes and is made of pure beauty.

Harper Lee was born in Alabama in 1926. She was the youngest of four and considered herself a tomboy (similar to Scout). Her mother suffered from a mental illness and rarely left the house (similar to Boo Radley).

In her novel, To Kill a Mockingbird, the social and gender inequalities are the main issues. Lee approaches…

Watchman, both by the renowned Harper Lee. In my reflection of reading these two stories, I viewed one as an innocent example and the other as a wake up call to reality. I agree that the character of Atticus Finch has indeed been added value to – in some ways that most people would not prefer. The fact is, he is the same person in both stories, only to be distinguished by the perspective of Scout and the reader. Most critics would be displeased in Harper Lee because Atticus demonstrated a…

This paternalistic theme continues in Lee’s work. This time, Lee denounces Northern liberalism. When Scout starts first grade she meets Miss Caroline, her new teacher who is implemented a new method of teaching that Jem incorrectly calls the Dewey Decimal system. While the Dewey Decimal system refers to the library classification, Crispino argues that the new method of teaching Scout is referring to the is the methods taught by John Dewey.
