the museum of contemporary art is an interesting place to put things in perspective. when i went there were many peculiar art pieces. Like the cube of tooth pick, which is just a buch of tooth picks in a cube held together by gravity and thats it. there was another one made up of just plastic cups. It took more than a thousand cups to make it. It said thats how many plastic cups were used a minute in the USA alone, I thought to myself "oh my god thats insane for one country. are their really that many of us?" the answer i came up with was yes as i thought " there are too many people in America for us to have disposable items. if it were like 1000 people it might not be a big problem. But there are 36 million, and not enough recources for us to use disposable items like this." Something has to be done.

Perspective of Jem
I was planning on hanging out with some friends on Halloween. My dad had something els planned for me, I had to take Scout to her Halloween pageant. I went to take her and when we were under the big oak Cecil popped out and scared us. I gave him a good yelling but he kept smiling, I had to admit he got us pretty good. When we got there Scout put her ham costume next to Cecil's costume. I was awfully bored at the pageant, the only funny part was when Scout forgot to come out and he Teacher got really red in the face. I asked Scout why she was late in the pageant and dhe said she had fallen asleep. On the way back I heard a noise, but i was side tracked when Scout proclaimed that she had forgotten her shoes. As we turned back the school lights turned off so we decided to come back tomorrow. I heard the noise again, and Scout got scared. She thought it was Cecil again and she wondered how he kept from hittin us. I told her that some of the paint on her costume was shiney and he could keep well back. I stopped at the big oak to hear the noise which disguised itself when we were walking. I looked back to see a big figure coming towards us, fast. I yelled at Scout to run, but not quick enough. He was on me, he tackled me then grabbed my arm. He ripped away at it and I heard a crack and a horrible pain afterwards. I had broken my arm, after that he knocked me out and thats all I remember.

from perspective of Atticus
I coming back from work when I heard an almost inaudible sound, it was a siren. When i got to the sheriff he told me that there was a mad dog and that Maycomb was in peril. I saw the dog, and the sheriff started to take aim but he was taking too long. I interrupted I'm to tell him to hurry up, this must have annoyed him pretty bad so he handed me the gun. I hadn't shot in years, i was always cantankerous about it. I shot, it hit right above the left eye and the dog never knew what hit him. I wasn't proud of what i did, but Scout was amazed. She would have told all her contemporaries if ms.Maudie hadn't sopped her. Then the kids started meeting me halfway home from work. Mrs. Dubose gave them such a hard time, but I told Jem to be a gentleman and that it would be wise not to contradict her. One day her comments got so bad Jem just snapped and destroyed her yard. As a consequence i made him read to her for a month, even if he didn't destroy her yard. Two months Later Mrs. Dubose died, and left Jem a little present.

perspective of Cal
I was in the kitchen when i heard the siren, I looked out and the house adjacent to us was in flames. I was entrusted to keep the house clean, so i stayed inside and hoped it didnt hit our house. The house seemed isolated afterwards, and scout and jem kindly offered to help clean it up. I was perplexed at the very idea of her house being on fire, i means she was a responsible women. For the next day or two me and Atticus debated on how the house cought fire. After a couple of days we let it go.

perspective of Jem
I was going home from school and when i met up with Scout i found she had gum. I asked her where she had gotten the gum, when i found out she had found it at the Radley house i was terrified that it was poisoned. Not only is quibbling at the radley house bad, but eating stuff that was left there is insanity, anyone who did that must be insane or have a horrible urge to die! So right when i found out i made her spit it out. After awhile i wasnt as scared of the Radley house, but i was still cautious of it. We also started playing games about the Radleys, but once Atticus found out he became very evasive. Later we got a watch, we gave it to Atticus and he started tormenting us about if we traded our grandfathers for the one we had. When he found out that we actually found it and didnt trade it he stopped tyrannizing us so much. When I walked to Atticus he thought i was teetering, watever that meant and he guessed we needed help, how right he was.

perspective of Scout
Ughhh, the first day of school. Not only had i never been to school, i was starting the fist grade. As i walked to school timidly i wondered what it would be like. I wanted to preserve my stature but it was very nerve racking to be in a class room. when i sat down the teacher took role. Later in class the teacher got irked by me because i already knew how to read and write. Later she pronounced that it was lunchtime, so she inspected us for lunches. One of the students didn't have a lunch so she condescended to give him a quarter. I stopped her because i knew the boy, he was a Cunningham. Everyone knew that the Cunningham's were dead poor and accepted things from no one. She also was irked by this and decided to give a whipping, which was very unpleasant.

quote #1: How can i pretend that you do not exist? It would be almost as impossible as you pretending that i do not exist.
I chose this quote because it showed that that character doesnt want to give something up. I can understand this because he has already given up so much that its hard for them to give up things willingly.
I can relate this to me because I remember having to give up something that I really cared about. i felt like it was the end of the world and I was very sad without it. P.S It happened when I was Five years old.
Question: how would you feel if you had to pretend something didnt exist and you had to give it up?
Quote #2: We had been tested an none before had been tested. We had been sent into the unknown once, and then again and again.
I chose this quote because it shows how the hardships they had faced were tests of their strength and their will. I also think this quote says that the hardships they faced were more dificult than any other hardship that anyone has faced.
I can connect this to me because I have been tested, but not even as close to as hard as they have been tested. Like at practices they test our strength and endurance with pushups, sit ups, crunches, laps and some other stuff.
Question : have you ever been physiclly tested?How?
