the main characters to explore the theme of
prejudice. She also uses characterisation to show

characters in the novel to To Kill A Mocking Bird.

mocking birds. The name Finch suggests this.
Atticus was Harper Lees ideal man his only fault

any place for prejudice of any kind. He defended a
blackman Tom Robinson ...

toxic substances. Once mercury escapes to the
environment, it circulates in and out of the
atmosphere until it ends up in the bottoms of
lakes and oceans. Depending on its chemical form,
mercury may travel long distances before it falls

Safe In Their Alabaster Chambers This poem, one of
Dickinson's best-known works, contrasts the
qualities of stillness with those of life. In the
first stanza she emphasizes the timelessness of
death; the meek members of the resurrection sleep
in their coffins untouched by dawn or noon. They
are sealed in, closed off from time and the world,
by the oppressive weight of rafter and roof. The
second stanza lists some of the joys of a summer
day: the breeze laughs, the bees buzz, the birds
sing. Thei...
