Literatura académica sobre el tema "Finch, scout"

This report will take Jean Louise Scout Finch, a little girl in To Kill a Mockingbird, as an example, to figure out the features that a motherless kid has in a certain period of time. Our discussion will base on three typical characters on Scout Finch.

This article begins by exploring the national climate in which Lee’s novel appeared, at the height of the civil rights movement in the South, which had a crucial impact on its composition and reception. The major film studios were not initially interested in the novel, but independent filmmakers Alan Pakula (producer) and Robert Mulligan (director), influenced by existentialism, felt attracted to stories with strong dramatization over the spectacular. The film is famously characterized by the voice-over narration of the adult Scout, which embodies a paradoxical duality of perspective: the events are seen from the perspective of the young Scout but described in the language of a mature and articulate adult Scout. In the novel, the destabilization of gender norms is the central theme, and the protagonist is clearly Scout going through the pains of growing up female in a South with very strict definitions of gender roles. This dimension is not prominent in the film version, which gave in to the demands of the Hollywood star system and made the girl’s father, played by Gregory Peck, the main character, and made racism the main issue. The article concludes with a necessary reconsideration of Atticus Finch, subjected in recent years to the complaint that both the novel and the film convey the historically inaccurate message that heroic whites, instead of blacks, were the leaders of the anti-racist movements of the twentieth century. Atticus Finch no doubt remains tied to the accommodating values of his class and he never openly questions the structural racism of which he himself is part, but moral horizons of previous eras are often narrow in comparison with our own, and we should avoid the excesses of presentism and maintain the historical perspective that allows us to celebrate the courage and success of fictional white liberals like Atticus and real ones like Harper Lee herself, who could only speak as whites, not as black victims. Despite all its limitations, Mockingbird did contribute to making hearts and minds reconsider race in America, and it remains a socially and historically important film. Thus, we should at least acknowledge its merit in taking a stand during a period when many films avoided controversial racial matters.

This review of Harper Lee's classic, 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' highlights its remarkable ability to intertwine an engaging narrative with profound thematic depth. Set in the American South of the 1930s, the novel presents the story of young Scout Finch, growing up amidst racial injustice and moral integrity. I particularly praise Lee's skill in presenting complex themes through the innocent eyes of a child, making the book accessible and relatable to a broad audience. The character of Atticus Finch is highlighted as an embodiment of morality, with his relationship with his children serving as a conduit for values of empathy and justice. Despite minor criticisms regarding character development and plot resolution, I deem 'To Kill a Mockingbird' an important and significant work in American literature. Recommended for a wide range of readers, especially those interested in American literature, social justice, and moral philosophy, the book scores a solid 9 out of 10. It is recognized as a timeless classic, continuing to resonate with new generations of readers and maintaining relevance in contemporary discussions about social and ethical issues.

The purpose of this research is to interrogate the effectiveness of developing board games to teach literary elements such as characters, setting and themes based on the literary text ‘To Kill a Mockingbird’ by Harper Lee. The development of board games in teaching English literature aims to help student teachers to critically examine their understanding of the approaches to teaching literature. It will further develop critical appreciation and cultural awareness for students whose English is a second language. This study is based on a course ‘Teaching of literature: Reading the word and the world’ taught to 45 Year 2 TESL undergraduate student teachers at the Faculty of Education, UKM. This case study was designed with four methods of data collection namely questionnaire, interview, student teachers’ board games and reflective essays. In this study, the student teachers had formed six groups and then had chosen either a theme or a character such as ‘Tom Robinson’, ‘Atticus Finch’, ‘Boo Radley’, ‘Scout Finch’, ‘Gender stereotyping’ and ‘Racism’ to be developed further into board games. They later reflected on the whole process of developing board games, identifying its strengths, weaknesses and suggestions on how to improve it. Generally, the participants perceived that developing board games helps them to teach the literary elements such as characters, setting and themes to the pupils.

Este artigo discute narrativas de professoras regentes em atuação na educação infantil, problematizando se os efeitos performativos da enunciação “ideologia de gênero” afetaram (ou não) o trabalho docente com a infância. Deste modo, nos fundamentamos nos estudos de gênero pós-estruturalistas, principalmente com as autoras Butler, Scott, Finco, Felipe e Paechter. A produção de narrativas com as docentes da educação infantil pautaram-se pelos princípios de Arfuch, na operacionalização de entrevistas dialógicas. Entre os resultados, as docentes enunciaram incertezas no entendimento do conceito de gênero e apontaram a ausência de discussões sobre o tema na formação inicial, porém, interviam em situações que emergiam no cotidiano. Consideramos que, de certa forma, as professoras resistem ao conservadorismo imposto nesses tempos, mesmo que por vezes sejam também afetadas por ele.

The reproductive behavior of the oak bug Urostylis annulicornis Scott, 1874 was studied for the first time. This species lives in the crown of tall Quercus mongolica Fisch. ex Ledeb. trees making it difficult to access for study and observation. Our study aimed to elucidate the timing of mating and oviposition of U. annulicornis and the effect of temperature variations on the lifespan of adults in natural conditions. Nymphs grown from eggs that had overwintered on rhytidome fragments were placed in stationary netting cages installed on oak saplings, where the bugs were kept until adulthood. The behavior of the control pairs was monitored for 15 hours a day (from 06:00 to 21:00). The duration of an uninterrupted tandem during copulation was confirmed by additional observations at night. To facilitate egg-laying, artificial shelters were created from pieces of oak bark stacked together, attached to the stem of the plant, and placed inside cages. The number of eggs laid by the female was counted and photographed. The process of oviposition by a female on the oak tree bark in natural conditions was recorded and documented for the first time. This study of the biology of U. annulicornis, from oviposition through the sequence of postembryonic development, documenting all stages of metamorphosis, was carried out on a single plant. A summer reproductive diapause was observed in the seasonal cycle of the species. The timing of mating in U. annulicornis was shifted to autumn, the laying of overwintering eggs occurred in October, as night temperatures decreased. Males were observed performing postcopulatory mate-guarding. The effect of night cold spells on the lifespan of bugs was recorded: natural mortality of adults occurred when the night temperatures dropped below zero.

Background:Current treatment approaches for autoimmune conditions comprise primarily of systemic immunosuppressants or cytokine blockade. The concentration of therapeutic molecules to the tissues that are the sites of autoimmune and inflammatory diseases is a promising approach with the potential to induce therapeutic benefit and avert risks associated with systemic immunotherapies. Pandion Therapeutics is developing a bifunctional antibody platform that can drive localized immune modulation by combining a “tether antibody” that targets a tissue of choice and “an effector end” that activates specific regulatory immune pathways to restore immune-homeostasis.Objectives:Here we report the engineering of a skin-tethered PD-1 agonist and a skin-tethered CD39 that inhibit T cell activation and function and deplete local ATP, respectively, modulating different arms of the immune system in a tissue specific manner.Methods:Biophysical assays were performed to characterize Skin-tethered immune effectors for drug-like properties and in vitro and in vivo assays for target binding, cellular activity and tissue specific-localization. Moreover, these bifunctionals were tested in pathway-relevant preclinical models such as Vitiligo and Contact Hypersensitivity.Results:Biophysical characterization of the bifunctional molecules showed desired drug like properties including specificity, stability, and manufacturability. The skin tethered bifunctionals showed effector activity in in vitro assays and selectively localized to the skin. Skin localization strikingly correlated with a tether-dependent efficacy compared to a non-tether control.Conclusion:We believe that this therapeutic approach has the potential to drive the resolution of cutaneous inflammation, providing an opportunity for developing new targeted therapies for autoimmune and inflammatory skin diseases.Disclosure of Interests:Susmita Borthakur Shareholder of: Pandion Therapeutics Inc., Employee of: Pandion therapeutics Inc., Purvi Mande: None declared, Daniel Rios: None declared, Patrick Halvey: None declared, Angela Boisvert: None declared, MIchael Rowe: None declared, Anisha Agrawal: None declared, Minasri Borah: None declared, Mike Cianci: None declared, Joanne L.

I still remember the thrill of reading for the first time, as an undergraduate, Frederick Ahl's seminal articles ‘The Art of Safe Criticism’ and the ‘Horse and the Rider’, and the ensuing sense that the doors of perception were opening to reveal for me the (alarming) secrets of Latin poetry. The collectionWordplay and Powerplay in Latin Poetryis a tribute to Ahl, and all twenty-two articles take his scholarship as their inspiration. Fittingly, this book is often playful and great fun to read, and contains some beautiful writing from its contributors, but also reflects the darker side of Latin literature's entanglement with violence and oppression. For the latter, see especially Joy Connolly's sobering discussion of ‘A Theory of Violence’ in Lucan, which draws on Achille Mbembe's theory of the reiterative violence of everyday life that sustains postcolonial rule in Africa (273–97), which resonates bleakly beyond Classical scholarship to the present day. Elsewhere there is much emphasis (ha!) on the practice and effects of veiled speech, ambiguity, and hidden meanings. Pleasingly, Michael Fontaine identifies what he calls ‘Freudian Bullseyes’ in Virgil: a ‘correct word that hits the mark’ (141) that also reveals – simply and directly – the unspoken guilty preoccupations of the speaker: Dido's lust for Aeneas, Aeneas’ grief-stricken sense of responsibility for Pallas’ death. A citation from F. Scott Fitzgerald'sTender is the Nightprovides the chilling final line of Emily Gowers’ delicious article about what ripples out beyond the coincidence of sound of Dido/bubo. The volume explores subversive responses to power (for example, the articles of Erica Bexley and David Konstan), as well as the risk of powerful retaliation (Rhiannon Ash considers the political consequences of poetry as represented by Tacitus). There are also broader methodological reflections on interpretation, from musings on the reader's pleasure at decoding the hidden messages of wordplay such as puns, anagrams, and acrostics (as Fitch puts it, ‘the pleasure of wit, combined with the pleasure of active involvement’ [327]) to exploration of the anxiety of a reader who worries that they may be over-interpreting a text. Contributions variously address the ‘paranoia’ of literary criticism and the drive to try to ground meaning in the text and prove authorial intention: while John Fitch asks if the wordplay ‘really is there’ in the etymological names used by Seneca in his plays (314), Alex Dressler's article (37–68) helps frame the various modes of interpretation that we find in subsequent articles, by putting interpretation itself under scrutiny. His intriguing analysis introduces the helpful motif of espionage (interweaving Syme's possible post-war role in intelligence with Augustan conspiracy and conspiracy theories) and concludes that – like double agents – ‘secret meanings’ need a handler (53) and we readers need to take responsibility for our own partisan readings.

This book is the first anthology of perspectives on the future of text, one of our most important mediums for thinking and communicating, with a Foreword by the co-inventor of the Internet, Vint. Cerf and a Postscript by the founder of the modern Library of Alexandria, Ismail Serageldin. In a time with astounding developments in computer special effects in movies and the emergence of powerful AI, text has developed little beyond spellcheck and blue links. In this work we look at myriads of perspectives to inspire a rich future of text through contributions from academia, the arts, business and technology. We hope you will be as inspired as we are as to the potential power of text truly unleashed.

Abstract Neotropical migrants have been affected by the loss and fragmentation of forests in the eastern United States (Askins ct al. 1990). Changes in western forests and the effects of these changes on birds may be different from those in the East. While timber harvesting is widespread in the western United States, the purpose of silvicultural systems on public land is to perpetuate forests, not to convert forests to agricultural land or residential areas. Western logging has resulted in landscapes that are primarily composed of forests of different ages and treatments, rarely isolated forests. The silvicultural systems used to manage these forests, however, include timber harvesting, intermediate treatments, and stand-regeneration practices that usually result in forests different from presettlement ones (Thompson et al., Chapter 7, this volume). Managers interested in maintaining western birds need not be as concerned with deforestation as with the loss of old growth and whether managed forests successfully substitute for unmanipulated forests. While baseline studies on birds in most forest types in the Rocky Mountains exist (e.g., Marshall 1957, Salt 1957, Flack 1976, Winternitz 1976, Balda and Masters 1980, Finch and Reynolds 1987, Raphael 1987a,b, Scott and Crouch 1988, Block et al. 1992, Morrison et al. 1993), studies on the effects of silvicultural practices on songbird populations in the Rocky Mountains are relatively rare. Most studies consider only the effects of timber harvesting.
