2. How do the beliefs of a society affect an individual's beliefs?
*Not very revised*
Most people at one point or another have a nagging urgency to find a way to fit in with the “popular” crowd. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, The town always relies on the social normalities such as “boys [not being] able to cook…” (82). Where the kids live there are strict guidelines for girls and boys. In the end people should be able to choose how they want to live their lives. As well the kids weren't able to say anything cool about what their father had accomplished in his lifetime (89). Most people who don't want to be judged tend not to speak up. People want to be able to boast about something so that for a moment the society will be following what they do. Societies beliefs alter peoples standpoint in life.
After our meaning making day in class my group decided to change our question so here is the new idea that we wrote about.
3. How does poverty affect people’s upbringing, motivation and life goals?
Poverty never allows for a good outlook on life. In the book To Kill a Mockingbird the Ewell family got to school the “...first day of every year and then leave” (27). The Ewells don't even bother trying to change their tradition and branching out because they have this mindset that it will never get better so why should they even put the effort in. Having to live in the living conditions that poverty consists of can constantly drain a person of their energy to live. Also the town was so poor that many of the kids had the “...absence of shoes…” (19). They would constantly be getting sick from disease and that would negatively affect what the perseverance was. Not only that but having to live with the idea that a persons family could barely put food on the table let alone provide shoes is emotionally unsatisfying. In the end poverty doesn't only affect how they people living in it get judging looks towards them it also interferes with their motivation to exceed in life.
