Be creative.\nAsk yourself lots of questions about that character - \nHow old is he/she?\nAre they married? Happily?\nWhat is their financial status?\nAny Brothers or sisters?\nWhat is their life like?\nWhat do they struggle with?\nWhat is that person's joy?\nFavorite food?\nHealth?\n\nJust think up as many questions that would influence a person's character based off of what you know.  If you don't know, or you aren't able to do research and find out, make it up.  And again, Be Creative.  Your analysis doesn't have to include everything, but it should reflect most of the character's personality and traits.  I one time did an analysis like the character was writing a letter and put in the character's thoughts and feelings during a random event.

Harper Lee's, To Kill a Mockingbird.\n\nI have found  10+  summaries for you to look at, via the links below.\n\nhttp://www.lausd.k12.ca.us/Belmont_HS/tkm/\n\nhttp://www.homework-online.com/tkamb/index.asp\n\nhttp://www.awerty.addr.com/tokill2.html\n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/book.php3?id=411\n\nhttp://www.antistudy.com/search.php?title=To+Kill+a+Mockingbird\n\nhttp://www.onlineessays.com/essays/literature/lit186.php\n\nThese links will give you a summary of the book, character analysis, plot and much more, so that you will be able to answer literary questions.  Here is a short extract of what you can expect from the summaries.\n\nContext\n\nNelle Harper Lee was born on April 28, 1926, in Monroeville, Alabama, a sleepy small town similar in many ways to Maycomb, the setting of To Kill a Mockingbird. Like Atticus Finch, the father of Scout, the narrator and protagonist of To Kill a Mockingbird, Lee’s father was a lawyer. Among Lee’s childhood friends was the future novelist and essayist Truman Capote, from whom she drew inspiration for the character Dill. \n\nhttp://www.freebooknotes.com/page.php?link=http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/mocking/&book=411\n\nGood luck.\n\nKevin, Liverpool, England.

An examination of the main character, Meursault, in "The Stranger" by Albert Camus would be excellent.  The book is a quick read, only about 120 pages or so.   One theme of the book deals with people's perceptions and the idea that just because people think something to be true does not make it true.  \n\nMany people judge the guilt of the main character based on certain observations of his behaviour, but none that should factor into his culpability regarding a certain act he commits.    \n\n(If you choose this topic, buy the Cliff Notes to read after you have read the book.  Quite fascinating.)

Yes.\n\nTo Kill a Mockingbird is a 1960 novel by Harper Lee, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1961. It was made into an Academy Award-winning motion picture starring Gregory Peck by director Robert Mulligan in 1962. A coming-of-age story, it is told from the point of view of Jean Louise "Scout" Finch, the young daughter of Atticus Finch, an educated lawyer in Maycomb, Alabama, a small town in the deep South of the United States. She is accompanied by her brother Jem and their mutual friend Dill.\n\nTruman Capote was a lifelong friend of childhood neighbor Lee, and allegedly was the inspiration for Dill's character in her best-seller. Capote frequently implied that he himself had written a considerable portion of her novel, and some have said he ghosted the entire novel. At least one person—Pearl Kazin Bell, an editor at Harper's— has gone on record as believing his assertions were true.\n\nThe title of the book is taken from Atticus's advice to his children about firing their air rifles at birds: "Shoot all the blue jays you want, if you can hit 'em, but remember it's a sin to kill a mockingbird". The blue jay is a very common bird, and is often perceived as a bully and a pest, whereas mockingbirds do nothing but "sing their hearts out for us". Metaphorically, several of the book's characters can be seen as "mockingbirds", attacked despite doing nothing but good. The mockingbird represents innocence, and to kill one is to metaphorically kill innocence. Note that the protagonists are also named after birds: Tom Robinson and the Finch family. However, "Finch" was also Lee's mother's maiden name.\n\nHarper Lee stated, "To get the ideas for the book I used recent events in my time like the Scottsboro Trials." (Harper Lee, Book Review, 1964)\n\nThe events of this book's publication and the following film are also subjects of the 2005 film Capote starring Phillip Seymour Hoffman as Truman Capote and Catherine Keener as Harper Lee. It is also an excellent film and will likely be considered in one category or another for an Academy Award.

Other characters\nAunt Alexandra is Atticus’ proper sister, who came to live with them to make a lady out of the tomboy Scout and restore proper Southern order to their home.\n\n_________________________________________________________\n\nIn these chapters, prejudice comes to the forefront in numerous ways. Aunt Alexandra refuses to allow Scout to visit Calpurnia because young white girls don’t spend time in black people’s neighborhoods, and definitely not inside their houses. In fact, Aunt Alexandra thinks that Atticus should terminate Calpurnia’s employment with the family. Significantly, Atticus defends Calpurnia, saying, “‘I don’t think the children have suffered one bit from her having brought them up. If anything, she’s been harder on them in some ways than a mother would’ve been.’” If the thought hasn’t occurred to readers by now, they’re confronted with the fact that for all the prejudices African Americans endure, Atticus has allowed a black woman to raise his children, and in fact, sees this woman as “a faithful member of this family.” Atticus’ attitude is certainly atypical of the Maycomb majority.\n\nAtticus’s attitude toward African Americans is further exposed the morning after he faces the mob at the jailhouse. Aunt Alexandra chastises him for remarking that Mr. Underwood “despises Negroes” in front of Calpurnia. But characteristically, Atticus responds, “‘Anything fit to say at the table’s fit to say in front of Calpurnia.’” Aunt Alexandra is afraid that the black community will gossip about the white community, but Atticus proclaims that maybe the white community shouldn’t give them so much to gossip about. While Alexandra worries about appearances, Atticus constantly reminds her of reality.\n\nIn the American South during the 1930s, segregation was not only the norm, it was the law. Blacks were given special places to sit, they often used separate entrances, and they used separate restrooms and drinking fountains. The fact that blacks can’t sit on the main floor of the courtroom or that they have to let all the white people into the courthouse before they can begin going in themselves, is an accurate description of what would’ve happened at such a trial. When Reverend Skyes offers the children a seat in the “Colored balcony,” they happily and naively accept. They have no idea that they’re breaking a cultural taboo. Many whites would miss the trial before they would sit amongst people of another race. Ironically, Scout feels like they have a better view from the balcony than they would from the floor—unfortunately, what they’re going to see won’t be pretty. Significant, too, is that four black people rose to give the minister and three white children their front-row seats. Some would argue that they gave up their seats out of respect for Reverend Skyes; others may say that they gave up their seats out of respect for Atticus. In truth, they would be expected to give up their seats for any white person who wanted them.\n\nLee introduces an interesting discussion of what makes a person a member of one race or another through the character of Dolphus Raymond—a white man, rumored to be a drunkard, with biracial children. Worse than being black is being “mixed.” Children who are part of both races “don’t belong anywhere. Colored folks won’t have ‘em because they’re half white; white folks won’t have ‘em ‘cause they’re colored, so they’re just in-betweens, don’t belong anywhere.”\n\nWhen Jem points out some biracial children, Scout can’t tell that they’re “mixed” and wonders, then, how Jem knows that they aren’t also mixed. Jem has discussed this topic with Uncle Jack, who says that they may have some black ancestors several generations back. Somewhat relieved, Scout determines that after so many generations, race doesn’t count, but Jem says, “‘around here once you have one drop of Negro blood, that makes y

I believe Harriet Beecher Stowe wrote Uncle Tom's Cabin. Robert E. Lee was the head General of the Confederates. Grant the Union head General; Jefferson Davis, I believe was the Confederate President, Lincoln the Union's.  Sojourner Truth was like a Harriet Tubman, she was one of the first women involved in the Underground Railroad and spoke out against slavery (I believe).  Don't know about Mat Turner. John Brown was an extreme abolitionist who was notorious for the massacre at, I believe, Harper's Ferry where they seized munitions for the slaves to rebel against; he was eventually hung.  Harriet Tubman was a black woman fighting slavery through the Underground Railroad, leading escaped slaves to the Canada/Vermont area.  Clara Burton did something, but I can't remember (go to wikipedia and look her up). John Wilkes Booth assassinated Lincoln while in a theater.  And I don't know who Mary Chesnat is either, but you can wikipedia her as well.

http://www.antistudy.com/search.php?title=good+country+people\n\nHere is one excerpt from the above site:\nO'Connor poses the contrast between the old and new South in her short story "Good Country People . Mrs. Hopewell and Mrs. Freeman symbolize the old South because of the way in which they carry themselves and their traditional beliefs and values. Mrs. Freeman works for Mrs. Hopewell who states "the reason for her keepin her so long was that they were not trash. They were good country people . In contrast to Mrs. Freeman and Mrs. Hopewell, Joy/Hulga represents the new south that is not concerned with self. Hulga did not care to participate in the morning gossip between the older ladies. O'Connor describes Hulga's disregard for the old south and its sense of manners. Within this short story, the reader is presented with two differing views of religion: the devout Christian and the atheist. The devout Christians, Mrs. Hopewell and Mrs. Freeman, represents the old south. The story ends with the atheist being deceived by one who pretends to be a Christian.

She's afraid she will become a lesbian. \nFootnote: Harper Lee based her characters on people she knew and the town on Monroeville, AL. Atticus was based on her father, Dill was Truman Capote. There have been rumors for decades that Capote actually wrote the book and let his childhood friend Harper Lee submit it for publication for herself.
