Macomb Poverty

[Maycomb was a tired old town, even in 1932 when I first knew it. Somehow, it was hotter then. Men's stiff collars wilted by nine in the morning; ladies bathed before noon, after their 3 o'clock naps, and by nightfall were like soft teacakes with frosting from sweating and sweet talcum. The day was twenty-four hours long, but it seemed longer.
There was no hurry, for there was nowhere to go and nothing to buy... and no money to buy it with. Although Maycomb County had recently been told that it had nothing to fear but fear itself... That summer, I was six years old.]

The maturity and perception of Scout is first portrayed in this paragraph. At an early age Scout understood the finacial condition of her small town even at six years old. The way she described Maycomb the feeling of laziness comes to mind. When i first started reading about the heat I just wanted to take a nap with the window open and dismiss the thought of anything that had to do with money.

Political Cartoon

As soon as i saw this cartoon it reminded me of my high school. I went to Novi High School in oakand county, and let me say it was a great facility. The reason this cartoon reminded me of high school is because when the Detroit schools shut down alot of the parents chose Novi to send their kids. I don't blame them for their choice, because i was friends with some kids who transferred over and they were in awe of how many computers and laptops our school had. It just made me think about how difficult it must be to go to a school that dosen't even have the money to stay open; let alone provide a solid education.
