LA Homework

I have chosen 2 topics to do today.
Which character would you like to play in the movie version of the novel? Explain.
and
Design a civil rights movement poster for Maycomb.

I would like to play Atticus in the movie. This is because Atticus is one of the main heroes of the novel, and is representative of principles and morals.

Atticus is a well-off character in the story, given that it is set in the Great Depression. His intelligence and behaviour causes him to be respected by almost everyone in the novel. He is the one whom characters turn to in times of need. However, his conscience, although good, causes him to (temporarily) fall out with the people in Maycomb, when he agrees to defend a black man, totally against the social code in Maycomb, to uphold his set of moral principles. Atticus understands why he is shunned by society, and forgives them for it. Through all this, he never stops teaching Jem and Scout about right and wrong, and about mockingbirds and related sins. He recognizes that people have both good and bad qualities, and he is determined to admire the good while understanding and forgiving the bad. Atticus teaches this to Scout — this perspective of "walking around in people's shoes" helps her in understanding people, like the Ewells and Boo Radley ,at the end of the novel.
Atticus is characterized throughout the book by his absolute consistency. He stands rigidly committed to justice and thoughtfully willing to view matters from the perspectives of others. He does not develop in the novel but retains these qualities in equal measure, making him the novel’s moral guide and voice of conscience.

I view Atticus as a role model, because of his sense of morality and his consistency. He is morally upright and stands firm in the face of adversity. These qualities and all those mentioned above are good and I admire this in him. Also, his ability to argue his point (during the court case) and also his ability to accept defeat and learn from it are admirable. Thus, I view Atticus as the most important character in the novel, and naturally I want to play him.



Now for the poster:

MI Test

Code: pbd2jz8tpn83144. View it yourself, I cant get the image good enough to be seen here.
Basically, Linguistic 17/25 (Sorry Mr Chen)
Logical 20
Interpersonal 21
Intrapersonal 19
Musical 20
Visual/Spatial 18
Naturalistic 19
Kinaesthetic 20.

The linguistic score is a bit low... but sort of expected, since I'm more of a math/science person. I'm not the kind who will actually like writing novels etc, although I like reading science fiction ones. Then again, I'm a debater so it should have been higher.

Interpersonal was a little high, I don't think my interpersonal skills are that good, but then the computer says so. I suppose that its right then, since there's no motive to change it?

Intrapersonal wasnt the best score ever, but its reasonable so no comment.

Musical is too high!!!! I dont have any qualifications in music except for a grade 1 violin, and none at all for piano. I dont even listen to music at home. No Viva la Vida or anything.

The rest are a little high. I've never considered myself a visualiser, or a naturalist, or a spoorty person. In fact, for my NAPFA test, I managed to fail it for four years straight. I dont exactly revere animals, and I cant visualise anything for half a nut.

I think this test is reasonably accurate, but is not totally reliable nor precise. I think it should be used just for the basic purpose of a rough gauge of our strengths and weaknesses, but not for comparisions. This si because the scoring is based on questions that may have been answered inaccurately, affecting the results.
