Intrapersonal:
a. Who would you want to be friends with in the novel? Explain.
I would like to be friends with Atticus in the novel. Atticus is a helpful man, and does not care about any skin color or anything other people thinks its wrong. He does what he thinks is best to help others, though others may look down on him in the end after he helps. From the novel, he helps Tom Robinson, which is a black. The residents or Maycomb are against black people, but Atticus, being a White, still helps Tom. This shows that he is does not care for what others think bad about, but what he feels is correct.
Atticus is also very wise. It is stated in the book that he said bravery does not stand for a man with a gun. I feel that this is true. It is the courage within that is more important. If you were holding a gun, but do not have the courage to pull the trigger, then it is not called courage anymore, it will be called cowardice. But if you were find out about your own mistakes, and admit, that is called true courage. You have the bravery to stand up to yourself.
Interpersonal:
a. Conduct an interview with a friend (not from HCI) or family member. Find out from their point of view on prejudice and discrimination. Either record the interview or write out the interview transcript.
Q: How do you feel about prejudice and discrimination?
A: I feel that prejudice and discrimination is not a good thing. Take for example the whites against the blacks. All human have their own rights. I feel its very unfair to shun them in one corner while the whites enjoy almost everything. The blacks have to sit at the back of the bus while the whites sit at the front. And if there is no space at the front, the blacks are expected to give up their sit to the whites. The Blacks must feel that it certainly cannot continue. Not only that, the whites also treat the blacks with great disrespect though the blacks helped the whites alot.
