Today I learned that I still have very strong feelings about Mr. Davey Squidface Jones from the pirates of the Caribbean movies, and there is a very real part of me just waiting for the chance to yell about it
"It's a sin to kill a mockingbird because they do nothing but one thing and that is sing their hearts out to us"
Ok so recently I've been reading Harper Lee To Kill A Mockingbird and I was just about ready to give up, when that quote came up, and then I understood.
Society is still walking on a tight rope
Judging people and the likes just for their background
Like Tom Robinson who was accused of rape by the town's lowlife Mayella Ewel
And though no one ever believed them, they did she because of one simple thing
She was white and he was black
I asked my teacher why this was significant and she answered with "That's the point of the whole story. To show how unjust and unfair soceity was and still is"
He was the unseen, powerless object everyone had been fighting over
And then came Tom Johnson
I didn't understand why he was significant, why a dog getting rabies out of season was so important
I realized it was just symbolic
He became mad
Dangerous
And it all came back
He was used to represent Maycomb
And how people became "mad dogs" when something including a person of color came up
They became just like Tom
And it didn't matter that if it was in season or not
Diversity waits for no one
And this town was very much afraid of it
I understand the purpose of the book now
Why it was written
And why it says the things it does
This is what I got
When someone is still clutching the holds of the past, the same point of views, same words, and same ways, they become afraid. Afraid of the change and of the diversity. They become so closed off that anything involving a slight bit of change turns them into "rabid dogs"
Atticus tried his very damned best to defend Tom, because it was rare that someone wanted to take effort into defending a 'negro.'
He just took the first step
"Progress is impossible without change, and those who cannot change their minds cannot change anything
-George Bernard Shaw
OKAY for realz though can someone explain to me what “aesthetic” means please? Like if you’re asked what’s your aesthetic, what are you supposed to answer?
every day a tech startup invents a new and more deranged way to incorporate classic dystopian themes into your daily life
As she was walking down the streets of NYC and she looked at the mirrors of showrooms she realised she was aging. At first she was happy that she not 18 anymore. But didn't that mean her boyfriend Teddy was her soulmate. She doubted it. All he could do was talk about science and chemicals and shit. God he was so boring. And he wasn't even aging. So then who could it be??
I am so tired of the world that we currently live in.
All the lies and the bullshit we go through everyday
Because people cannot or rather will not be kind to each other
I wonder how many problems we could have solved if we were all nice to each other.
Where did all our innocence go?
When did we all grow up?
Where is the child who thought that everyone was good
who smiled at everyone
Who believed in everyone...
Is it wierd that chaos makes me feel peaceful??
Constantly stuck in a state of "if it's in your fate it will happen" Or "if you want something make it happen ".
I gotta say, the originals was so much better than the vampire diaries. Elena was annoying for 7 seasons, but every character on the originals had so much depth, was so much more lovable, and honestly the plot and character development was just better most of the time too. And I miss klaus every day
They did kaz brekker so well. You could see how uncomfortable he was when he was shaking other people's hands. We noticed it bit I doubt people who haven't read the books will tho
My MOOD after trying to take a good picture after a hundred tries:
Just because you are working very hard doesn't mean that you will succeed:)
