He had to go live with his grandmother for some time, and he came in really nervous about living there. He said “There's nobody to play with” and “She doesn't even have a tv!” But later on, Nicky found out all of the fun things that his grandmother does.

He saved the raw that was stuck in the mudbank. He cared enough to save the fawn. It would have been stuck there for a long time if it wouldn't have been saved by Nicky. He also draws the fawn. All of the different animals help his newfound enjoyment for nature because they are other living creatures.
Finally, he ends up liking his grandmother. He came in expecting to have a terrible time. He expected to be sitting around all day, because there was no other kids and there was no tv. However, he ended up having a good time. He didn't like cornbread to start, which is what he expected the entire time to be like. However, he quickly started to enjoy the time when everything went well. His grandmother built a special relationship with Nicky because of their love of the outdoors.
Never judge a book by it's cover because it really could be the perfect book. Nicky shouldn't have judged his grandma because he got to do so many fun things, like go on the raft, he got to see cool animals, and he actually liked his grandmother. Nicky learns not to judge books by there cover. That is also the moral of the story. It is very important not to judge people by the first thing they see. Do you think judging people is
The characters in this story are some very interesting people. They each lead their own way of life, and have their own interests at heart. Some of the main characters in this novel are: Sarny, Lucy, Miss Laura, Bartlett, Stanley, and Sarny's two children Little Delie, and Tyler. Sarny is the central character in this book. She is clever and knows exactly what to even in the worst of times. She is very emotional though, and can break down and cry when the slightest of things happens. This is perhaps from what she has experienced as a slave earlier on in her life. Sarny is fond of teaching people, as a friend named Nightjohn once taught her. Lucy is Sarny's close friend. She is also quite wise, but is a bit too optimistic at times. She never stops smiling and is very friendly. However, she does help Sarny find her lost children. Miss Laura is a middle-aged woman who lives a very luxurious life. She gives Sarny and Lucy a place to live and offers them employment. She also finds Sarny's children for her. Bartlett works for Miss Laura as well. He is a quiet and patient man who is helpful and quite kind. He was however castrated as a young slave boy, and cannot have children. Stanley is Sarny's second husband, for her first died from being worked to death on the plantation. Stanley is a gentle, big, fun-loving man, but is not intimidated by anything. This leads him to his death when he gets mad at a white man, and is confronted by the Ku Klux Klan. Little Delie and Tyler are Sarny's lost children. After she recovers them, and they grow up, Little Delie starts to like business, while Tyler wants to become a doctor.
Judging a person is very common in today's society. People everyday, judge one another, whether it is judging another's appearance, which is the most common, or judging the way one behaves, everyone is guilty of it. However, in most cases one is making judgments about someone without even knowing a person at all. It is wrong to judge someone because one can really hurt another's feelings, or it may backfire on them, and they may be the one to end up getting hurt. The worst part about judging someone is the fact that most people's judgments are wrong, considering most people judge in a negative manor. In the stories "A&P", "Revelation", and "The Ministers Black Veil", all three of the main characters have come face to face with judgmental behaviors. In the stories "A&P" and "Revelation", both of the main characters are doing the judging, where as in the story "The Ministers Black Veil", Hooper is trying to stop people from being so judgmental.

Richie is portrayed as a figure that neither loves nor is loved himself. During Christmas dinner, it is revealed that Eleanor’s mother did not buy pumpkin pie, and instead bought the ingredients for a traditional Danish rice pudding treat for dessert. After the meal is finished and Eleanor’s mother begins to serve dessert, Richie realizes that there is no pumpkin pie, and due to his alcoholism, he descends into a spoilt rage, throwing the pudding into the wall and spraying it everywhere: “‘It’s rice pudding,’ Ben said, stupid with turkey. ‘I know it’s pudding,’ Richie said. ‘Where’s the pumpkin pie, Sabrina?’ he shouted into the kitchen. ‘I told you to make a real Christmas dinner. I gave you money for a real Christmas dinner’ (198). The relationship between Richie and Eleanor’s mother is in order to give an example of a relationship that is incredibly dysfunctional and utterly without love.

The story follows three girls- Jeanette, the oldest in the pack, Claudette, the narrator and middle child, and the youngest, Mirabella- as they go through the various stages of becoming civilized people. Each girl is an example of the different reactions to being placed in an unfamiliar environment and retrained. Jeanette adapts quickly, becoming the first in the pack to assimilate to the new way of life. She accepts her education and rejects her previous life with few relapses. Claudette understands the education being presented to her but resists adapting fully, her hatred turning into apathy as she quietly accepts her fate. Mirabella either does not comprehend her education, or fully ignores it, as she continually breaks the rules and boundaries set around her, eventually resulting in her removal from the school.
The film chronicles the histories of three fathers, and manages to relates and link their events and situations. First is Mitchell Stephens and his relationship with his drug-addict daughter. Second is Sam, and the secret affair he is having with his young daughter Nicole. He is somewhat of a narcissistic character because of his preoccupation with himself and pleasing himself, and his lack of empathy throughout the film for the others in the town. Third is Billy, who loves his two children so much that he follows behind the school bus every day waving at them. Billy is also having an affair with a married woman who owns the town’s only motel. On the exterior the town is an average place with good people just living their lives. But, beneath all the small town simplicity is a web of lies and secrets, some which must be dealt with in the face of this tragedy.
Huck and Jim’s oldest and most reliable companion, except each other, is their raft. It carries them away to safety and freedom and protects them from dangers along the way. I have chosen to replicate this raft for part five of my Huckleberry Finn portfolio. I imagine that this raft is from sometime after Huck and Jim’s encounter with the Walter Scott, from which they obtained the supplies.
In the novel Walk Two Moons by Sharon Creech it proves that you should never judge a book by it’s cover. Same thing the the short story The guest by Uma Krishnaswami. Both people in each book Judge a person and later find out the truth about them.
ince then, scientists have theorized how the lemurs would have successfully crossed a large body of water, the Mozambique Channel, to inhabit Madagascar. One argument was that ancestors rafted from Africa on a “floating mat of vegetation” in a storm (Gunnel 2013, p214). If there was a strong enough wind, it could have pushed them away from the coast and let them float towards the island. One problem with this theory is that there is a long distance to be traveled from Africa to Madagascar which does not provide any freshwater or food for the animals (McCall 1997, p663). However, some lemur species can undergo torpor which lowers the metabolism placing them in hibernation-like state (Schmid 2000, p175). If their ancestor could also go into a torpor state as well, they could have survived a trip lasting several days without food. Another argument against rafting as a means of travel is that today’s ocean currents
He sees how much an animal means to an individual, whether it be a cow to a farmer or a little poodle to an old lady. Each and every case is a brand new one. He feels for each and every animal, whether it is a bird or a horse.
Truly the narrator now realizes that a “quick to judge attitude� can blind you from the good within people all because you choose not to like them with no particular reason as to why you feel the way you do. We must learn that everyone is different and that our judgments towards others can be completely wrong. When we discover this problem and put all the pieces together, then we will live happier lives, because we have the satisfaction of truly knowing one another’s true character.
