Confession of the Jews and First Confession
In comparing the books "Confession of the Jews" and "First Confession",
I have found there to be similarities and differences. For example, "First
Confession" deals with a boy converting from a boy to a young man by going to
confession and telling his sins for the first time. "Conversion of the Jews"
deals with converting a boy into someone he has never really seen which was a
free thinker which only older people usually do.
In "Conversion of the Jews" Ozzie, who was the main character, had a
problem with getting along with the priest Rabbi Binder at Hebrew School. Rabbi
Binder didn't really like Ozzie because he was always asking a lot of questions
and Rabbi Binder was always getting angry at him. In "First Confession" Jackie,
the main character, also had a problem. Jackies problem was similar to Ozzies,
but also different. Jackie had a problem with his sister Nora. Nora believed
that Jackie was always lying and being bad. On his confession day his mother
sent Nora go with Jackie. Nora ordered Jackie to tell all of his sins, including
how he was mean to the grandmother who lived with them.
Ozzie seemed troubled to Rabbi Binder in "Conversion of the Jews". In
reality Jackie wasn't bad at all, he was just a boy who wanted answers to his
questions. And that was proved when Ozzie asked a question in class and Rabbi
Binder went crazy and hit Ozzie because he thought Ozzie was trying to be a wise
guy. So Ozzie tried to prove a point to Rabbi Binder and his fellow classmates
by running to the roof and making believe he was going to jump. With Ozzie
being on the roof it gave Rabbi Binder a bigger belief that Ozzie was crazy and
troubled. Ozzie wasn't really crazy, he was just trying to make a point that he
really wasn't dumb. Ozzie just wanted to believe that there was really a Christ.
So with the point that Ozzie was trying to make helped to convert everyone and
their beliefs.
Jackie, like Ozzie, was also troubled in "First Confession". He was a
young boy who lived with his family, including the grandmother. Jackie believed
the grandmother didn't like him very much, so he did mean things to her like
hide under the table when she cooked dinner. When it came time for his first
confession he went with his sister Nora. Nora tormented Jackie and scared him
into believing he was a sinner and he will pay for all of his sins.
Adolph Myers, a kind and gentle man "[ is] meant by nature to be a teacher of youth"(215), however, the towns' people can not understand that the male school teacher - a not so common phenomenon at the time--spoke soothingly with his hands and voice only to "carry a dream into the young minds" (215) of his students. The young school teacher was wrongfully accused of doing "unspeakable things" to his students, and as a result was beaten and run out of town without being given a chance to explain the his love for the children was pure, and that he had done nothing wrong. Therefore, as young Adolph Myers, whose only crime is of being a good and caring person runs out of Pennsylvania, old Wing Biddlebaum, the lonely and confused victim of a close-minded society walks into Winesburg Ohio.
Jackie Robinson has made one of the biggest impacts on the game of baseball to date. Jackie was born in Cairo, Georgia on January 31, 1919. He was born to Mallie and Jerry Robinson and was the fifth child and the fourth son. Jackie’s father ran out on his family in hopes of a better life when Jackie was only one years old. After his father left, they moved to an all white suburb. At that time most neighborhoods were segregated, so his neighbors made a petition to relocate his family which fortunately did not work. Jackie was raised by a single mother and in poverty. When Jackie was about fourteen years old, he was part of a street gang. One of the people on his street told him that if he would keep hanging out with the gang he would disappoint his mother (Scott 31). In my opinion those words saved
Jackie was the youngest of five children. Times got tougher when Jackie’s father walked out on his family. Jackie’s mother, Mallie, had to care for all five children and run the farm by herself. Mallie didn’t want her children growing up as feeling unequal, so she made the decision to move to California. Jackie was only sixteen months old when his family made the weeklong trip to California.
...express all the ideology of modern day feminism. Unfortunately, neither of these scenarios is faithful to the scenario of an unconventional Victorian woman as portrayed by a Victorian female author. This is not to say that the filmed versions of Emma are not entertaining or without merit in their own right. rather, it is to suggest that instead of faithfully recreating Austen's work, the filmmakers felt it necessary to add their own personal interpretations of the work, modern interpretations that serve to undermine Austen's text. Like the tightly controlled, oppressive environment of Victorian England, Austen's Emma is best understood from within the confines the ideology of that elitist microcosm, not through the lens of modern interpreters who try to impose their own values on it.
Within the novel, Emma has seen a naïve young girl but often appears as the most masculine figure of the entire book. All the women in this novel are more masculine figures than their male counterparts. Mr. Knightley attributes Emma masculinity by commenting on the fact that she has commanded the household since she was twelve. Knightley also attributes Emma masculinity by stating she can “supply her visitors in a much more satisfactory style [than that of her own father].” (Austen, 1961) Emma holds her stance with the ideals of a true man through her rejection of many of the eligible bachelors. Emma wants to marry and find love, but she did not want to confine herself to the dainty role of an Elizabethan housewife. During this era, Emma ultimately must surrender to this role and marry. Emma tries to adapt to this new role through her painting. But she found herself getting frustrated and abandoning her work without finishing it. Emma is wanting to break what people now call the ideology called separate

He is a very poor man. So he tells his young daughter, Tess, to go find job at their “family’s” town, but Tess’s mother never warned her about how mean man can be.
...n her mind is more important than his words. It is an example of the patriarchal society that they live in; although he is her father and has the parental power over her he would most likely not speak to a son in such a demeaning tone. He makes her seem to be slow, as if she cannot carry on a conversation or listen to him, which is quite demeaning.
