The Chronicles of Narnia: Book Report
Digory and Polly were good friends. They both lived in England for all of
their lives. One day they were playing when Polly wanted to show Digory her
secret place. It was up in her attic. She hid many things there. She hid
fruits and snacks to eat and a lot of other stuff to.
Digory noticed a door across the attic. Back then the houses were
connected together and they thought that if they would cross the rafters and
open the door they could sneak into a house and the next and so on. The reason
for all of this was that one of the houses down a ways was abandon.
So they started off, one rafter at a time. They had to remain extremely
silent for if someone would here them they would think it was a robber. They
opened the door and began the next house. After a while they came to the one
that they thought was abandoned, but after they opened the door and saw all the
books they knew that they were wrong.
They were in the forbidden study. That was uncle Andrews private room.
It seemed as if no one was in the room, so they decided to look around. Polly
noticed that there were several different types of rings on the table.
Suddenly Digory saw someone stand up from the chair, it was uncle Andrew.
He told Polly not to touch the rings, but it was to late. She disappeared into
the air. Digory was confused. He wondered what the rings did. Did Polly just
disappear or did she go to some distant land? Uncle Andrew explained how that
one ring would take you to this land and that the other one would bring you back.
Uncle Andrew was not sure that it worked yet because the only things that
entered before were guinea pigs.
Digory put two rings in each pocket with gloves(so he would not
disappear). Two were for Polly and two for him. He put the disappear ring and
felt funny as he went speedy to the new land. It felt as if he was swimming.
He swam upward to see where the water went. He came out of the water and saw a
beautiful forest. He noticed guinea pigs and far away a girl leaning against a
tree.
They noticed that there were many other puddles of water like the ones
they came out of all over the woods. They were going to explore the other
puddles, but wanted to make sure they could get back first. They went over onto
puddle, but it was shallow. They realized that ...

...about the wonders of the apple. She told him that one bite would let you
live forever. Digory was not so sure. He took off running toward Polly and
Fledge. He shouted get ready to leave. Just before Digory got on the witch
said do not let the lion have immortal life when you can. At that time Digory
was not sure what he was doing was right.
They took off to Narnia which is the land of where the lion lives. The
lion told them to throw it towards the mud. Digory did and it grew into a
beautiful tree. The lion told him how the tree would protect them from the
witch. Digory mentioned that she ate an apple. Then the lion thought for a
while and said she will spend the rest of her days practicing her magic and will
leave us alone.
Digory, Polly, and Uncle Andrew went home. Digory still had one apple left
from the tree that he planted in Narnia and he gave it to his poor old mom. The
next day Digory heard the doctor saying that it was a miracle. Digory planted
the core in the back yard. It grew very big, but the apples did not have any
powers at all. When Digory was older and the tree was knocked down he had it
made into a table or something that had magical powers.
On the way home the two boys told the story of the bear and how it was all coved in blood. They all tried to think about what had happened to that
The mistreatment of man by man can also be portrayed in the times in which lynching mobs are formed out of fear, prejudice, and selfishness. One
In the South, during the period 1880 to 1940, there was deep-seated and all-pervading hatred and fear of the Negro. There was an annual average of sixty-two lynchings for the years 1910 to 1919. However, beginning in 1923 lynchings bega...

...t the perseverance of past practices. In other words, there is complicity throughout the case of the lynching photographs. The act of lynching was far from a momentary phenomenon. “The motivation, organization and practice of mob killing were consistent with the most deeply held beliefs and social identities of the residents of the regions beyond the Alleghenies, where it held sway in the postbellum era.” People who executed lynching and those who did not agree with their actions were heavily invested in certain understandings of punishing violence as an implementation, in opposing views of “social status, culture and ethnicity as well as differences between men and women and adults and children.” Ensuring white domination and the recognition of what lynchers perceived as the difference between the races was the one difference that mattered the most for lynchers.
Every year doctors diagnose thousands of adults and children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. Due to the growing awareness of autism and recent developments in technology, scientists and doctors can now discover and observe the effects of autism on society, and people. Starting with its discovery, researchers have been able to diagnose people more effectively. Doctors are beginning to discover what causes this disorder, and are currently trying to find ways to prevent and treat it. Many places have opened their doors to people with this disorder, creating autistic friendly environments where people are patient and understanding. Schools have also become accommodating to autistic children and adults. Autism also puts great strain on family and home lives.

Not long afterward, Pip is summoned by the curious Miss Havisham to play at Satis House; her estate. It is upon his arrival that he meets the radiant, though stonyhearted, Estella. After many subsequent afternoons playing at Satis House, Pip begins to develop feelings for Estella as well as suspicious hope that Miss Havisham intends for them to marry. He is soon proved wrong when Miss Havisham instead arranges for him to take up apprenticeship under his blacksmith brother-in-law Joe, thus ending all possibility of him ever being able to marry Estella.

Part of the aftermath of lynching in the South was the psychological consequences on the rabbles involved. The entire culture of African Americans is marked by lynching because the root reason of why white mobs lynched Southern African Americans was skin pigmentation. This means the blacks were lynched based on ignorant intolerance; however, the supposed basis for the white southerners’ hatred is internalized by every black person in their skin color. In the words of Lee H. Butler, Jr., “Unlike a single traumatic event that has been experienced by one person, lynching is a trauma that has marked an entire culture and several generations because it spanned more than eight decades.”
In the words of Miss Ida B. Wells: The student of American sociology will find the year of 1894 marked by a pronounced awakening of the public conscience to a system of anarchy and outlawry which had grown during a series of ten years to be so common, that scenes of unusual brutality failed to have any visible effect upon the humane sentiments of the people of our land. She is depicting a period of time in American history stained with the blood of hundreds of free African American men, women and children. These people were unjustly slaughtered through the practice of lynching within the South. Wells was an investigative journalist and was involved in exploring, reporting, publishing literature on, and eventually campaigning against the tragedy that became lynching. Through initial research she became aware of these atrocities occurring as spectacle within an alarmingly large, and even more notably, segregated, population of the United States. She dedicated over a decade to her cause, publishing three pamphlets in eight years, while also traveling to England twice to gain support for her anti-lynching campaign. In reading her work, one may get the feeling that Wells really was a master of her craft. She became aware of an extremely barbaric aspect of society, and she utilized every asset available to her in order to expose the facts surrounding the half-truths and whole lies established to justify this inhumane act. She diligently gathered the truth and compiled her writing very carefully. Using reliable statistics employed to document the atrocious number of these occurrences and actual accounts of individual events used to precisely convey the gruesome details of the crimes, she put forth exceptionally convincing arguments an...
