Reflecting on Gio and gabbys presentation, I like how they were able to draw a conclusion between the speech and to kill a mockingbird in the form of Atticus. The explained how Atticus was the solution to indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I found interesting is that we had similar ideas about racism and that people of color are looked down upon which is explained in Perils of indifference. Also in the other group they used the example of Boo Radley and indicated that the whole town of Maycomb looked down at him as this negative person by believing rumors but in reality, after getting to know about his story he wasn’t bad after all.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found I found interesting when sharing with Jillian, Kate and Tonian’s group was how they connected the effect of racial injustice to Juxtaposition in both TKAMB and Perils of Indifference. The examples used demonstrated the theme of indifference by the characters. Another rhetorical choice I found interesting was the use of Pathos, Egos, and Logos. When sharing with Eunice and Diana, I found it interesting was how the characterization of Atticus and Weisels perspective tied back to town and appeal. Weisel establishes a logos appeal while Atticus represents morality of what is “just “ and “right”. Both groups had a different yet interesting approach on how the authors used rhetorical choices to represent indifference .

# data[].attributes.body
In our second group, I found the claim very unique. The claim addressed ethnic hierarchies and how we can connect both texts through this idea.

# data[].attributes.body
In Jillian, Toniann, and Kate’s presentation, the use of the quote where Scout asks how Jem can hate the people at home have a connection to the childish lack of understanding of the true pain people feel in the suffering they go through due to racial prejudice. It connects to how Scout did not fully understand the severity of Walter’s situation and was more concerned her reputation with Miss. Gates.

# data[].attributes.body
Something interesting I found in Jayla and Michaela’s presentation was how they were able to contrast a first perspective of horrific experiences represented through the rhetorical strategies Weisel used to the third perspective point of view on Tom Robinson’s case through Atticus’ characterization.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the use of symbols throughout their presentation. It put additional ideas in my head that were related to what they were talking about. The use of symbols enhanced the actual presentation, further pushing the message of the project.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I found very interesting in Diana and Eunice’s presentation was that they were very informative and specific. They were very thorough about religious references and provided quotes to support what they were trying to prove. I also liked how they provided quotes from both texts to show the correlation between the quotes and religious references.

# data[].attributes.body
While sharing with Adan and Matt’s group, I found it interesting that they looked at it from a outsider perspective. Stating how Atticus is the “outlier” in the time period being the light in the dark moments of segregation. Comparing that to Elie and his speech about indifference, Atticus refused to be indifferent during the difficult time.

# data[].attributes.body
Another interesting thing I found from the presentations was the connection between both works through the idea of betrayal. It was interesting how the other group mentioned the presence betrayal in both texts that I had not really thought about before. In Perils of indifference, Wiesel described the betrayal of American companies who continued business with Germany during the holocaust, despite being enemies in the war. This betrayal was compared with the betrayal of Tom Robinson by Mayella Ewell, causing Tom to be declared guilty, even though he was most likely innocent.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found interesting in Jayla and Michaela’s presentation was that they picked a specific scene in the book TKAM, and connected it to Perils of Indifference. In picking the scene of Tom Robinson’s case, they were able to connect the racial indifference to Elie Wiesel’s personal experiences to the court case.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting to find the different devices other groups found even though the texts everyone had were the same. For example, the idea of antithesis in both TKAM and Perils of Indifference was shown though the concepts of a difference in skin tone or religion which highlights a common theme of injustice through racially-motivated decisions.

# data[].attributes.body
In Luigi and Andrew’s group they used the idea of contrast to highlight injustice which is aspect that our group did not think of. I though they used a very powerful quote of which Atticus was describing the unfair practices in the court due to race. It was interesting that both our groups went back to the Tom Robinson case, which suggests that there is clear indifference expressed through the example.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found interesting from Ria’s group was their approach to their claim with the use of betrayal to expand upon the injustices that were present in the two texts. Along with the way they compared the two texts and pulled the similarities of betrayal from each.

# data[].attributes.body
In Conor and Paige’s presentation they focused on euphemism and emphasized on the idea of supporting indifference. In Perils of Indifference, they were saying how euphemism was used to explain the Holocaust  in proper way given the setting they are in. I found it interesting that they used euphemism to show indifference. I would have never thought of that.

# data[].attributes.body
In our second group discussion Paige and Conor focused on the idea of euphemism throughout both texts. Our group used Hypophora instead of Eupheism and the ideas were very similar however we used different rhetorical strategies to highlight the same examples of betrayal and indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
Haritika and Danielles group pointed out the use of hypophora. This was a different rhetorical strategy. This highlighted the indifference and betrayal throughout the text.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting the way Eunice and Diana utilized religion in both text to depict the disappointment God has for society’s inability to adjust to events occurring throughout the world. They showed society’s inability to help people become equal and society’s rejection towards helping people not socially equivalent to them

# data[].attributes.body
An interesting thing that I heard in Justin and Arnav’s group was how racial hierarchies were used and emphasized in both pieces of literature in order to develop interpersonal relationships. Indifference specifically was not only a main theme in Perils of Indifference but also in To Kill a Mockingbird. Strategies such as contrast in TKAM and the educational levels represented in the characterization of certain characters as well as rhetorical questions and the establishment of a historical context  in PoI developed relationships.

# data[].attributes.body
Listening to Diana and Eunice’s presentation, an interesting connection I made is how religion had enough significance to impact the author’s connections with God in the story. It made me think of how converting religion was a very common occurrence throughout history, which occurred for Jewish people and African natives who were converted.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found interesting was how they connected quotes to the idea of PATHOS. They proved the idea of PATHOS through to Kill a Mockingbird during how Atticus used PATHOS during the case of Tom Robinson. Based on their group presentation it was very informative and well organized to emphasize the idea they were going for. They also explained their quotes very thoroughly.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I found interesting is that Justin and Arnav’s group spoke about the hierarchy of ethnic and economic groups. In Perils of Indifference, I hadn’t thought of how it connected to TKAM from an ethnic and economic standpoint.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed their idea of betrayal being a prominent in texts and it reminded me of the current topic we are on of the MLK speech. How he was betrayed by the clergymen I believe because they were told action would be made. How change would happen and it never did, so he himself had to make the change.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing I found interesting from these group presentations is the connection between Atticus’s teachings to Jem in to kill a mockingbird and Elie Wiesels teaching to his audience in his speech. Both Atticus and Weisel point out the importance of helping people struggling from injustice, mainly by pointing out the negativity of these actions. Weisel references his experience in the holocaust to support his opposition to indifference, while Atticus references Tom Robinson’s struggle with injustice in the town of Maycomb.

# data[].attributes.body
We had a lot of connections with important quotes from Atticus. This showed that we all recognized him as a fighter of indifference. We also connected injustice and racism in TKAM with indifference described in Perils of Indifference and had connections between literary devices used.

# data[].attributes.body
A really significant moment in one of the group’s presentation was how they included a comparison section that tied both texts together. This stood out towards me because I was able to see the direct connection between TKAM and Perils of Indifference. And it showed me how both texts used indifference but presented in different ways.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found interesting in one group is the connection between euphemism and indifference and why it is significant. Their presentation was very informative and clear, and many examples were used in order to make the listener have a good understanding of their claim.

# data[].attributes.body
Something interesting I found is everyone in our group made connections between Atticus teaching his children valuable lessons to Elie Wiesel teaching his audience about indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I found interesting was the connection between all of our presentations since we all used a Atticus quotes, it really emphasis the impact the character Atticus on the story and how he exemplifies the changes to come. In addition to that we all agreed that the teachings of Atticus to Jem was similar to the advocating of Elie to the public during his speech.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection our groups found between our presentations is how the most of the indifference in the world is because of racial injustice. The other group connected the devices well with their quotes of indifference for both texts.

# data[].attributes.body
Matt and Adan’s Presentation focused on the idea of man versus society. They showed how Atticus was told to not take the case and how everyone was telling him that and he didn’t listen and took the case instead which showed indifference. What I found interesting was that in To Kill a Mockingbird, the author uses indifference to contrast Atticus’s actions in protecting Tom and in Perils of Indifference, the author is showing how indifference is dangerous to humanity.

# data[].attributes.body
In our discussion our group approached indifference from different points of view. The other group approached Mayella Ewell as the example of a character who shows indifference while for my group we used Atticus as a character who was resisting the status quo of everyone else being indifferent. The other group uses the device of Hypophora to show the underscoring of indifference in “To Kill a Mockingbird.” Specificity approaching the idea of betrayal and how Mayella Ewell betrayed Tom Robinson.

# data[].attributes.body
During the discussion is that the other group went about indifference differently than my group did. The other group used the court scene for their evidence. Specifically the other group used the betrayal of Mayella Ewells as evidence.My group went about the presentation differently because my group used the mob scene as evidence for indifference. My group used the characterization of Atticus to show his resistance to indifference and how he was ahead of his time with his treatment of Tom Robinson. The other group helped me see that the court scene also displayed indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
One thing that I liked about the group was how they connected their ideas about indifference to euphemism and clearly explained how it was related. Their presentation was well put together and the conversation flowed well. Although, it was informal, it was very informative.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting to discover the approach other groups had  since they developed the idea that Atticus was against indifference and resisted especially during the mob scene about Tom Robinson while our group gave examples for indifference by underscoring the act of betrayal from Mayella’s side by taking advantage of Tom  but stabbing him in the back during the trial or a more social/political aspect when US companies led corporations in Germany while Hitler was ruling even though they were against his dictatorship.

# data[].attributes.body
In Matt and Adan’s group, they focused on the interesting idea of man versus society through Atticus taking on the Tom Robinson case. My group also included the Tom Robinson case, but used the example to highlight betrayal. To add. They emphasized the danger associated with being a upstander to indifference shown as highlighted by threats and danger to Atticus and his family. This addition suggested the difficulty to respond against indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that Andrew and Luigi used syllogism as their rhetorical strategy. This is a point I didn’t originally realize and makes complete sense. This accentuates the harmful effects of Indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found very interesting in our group discussion was how the other group approached the idea of indifference differently. The other group chose to show how the character Atticus was against indifference while my group focused on how the characters and plot showed a support towards indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
The link that we found was that they connected their quotes to the notion that Atticus is more contemporary and open than people of a different era, which informed his perceptions of indifference and connected it with the idea that indifference is the lowest you can go.

# data[].attributes.body
Indifference is one of the worst things you could do to someone or multiple people. In Perils of Indifference, he believed that the people or countries who were aware of the travesty that was the holocaust but didn’t get involved or didn’t do a direct approach to help. To Kill a Mockingbird, the citizens knew about the situation of Boo Radley but did nothing or didn’t think it was their responsibility to intervene.

# data[].attributes.body
When sharing with Rory, Izzy and Kelsey, I was able to learn a lot. I learned and saw the use of diction and rhetorical questions in Elie Weisel’s Perils of Indifference speech. In To Kill a Mockingbird, we saw the use of diction as well but also the use of characterization and how it shaped the story. I really liked how at the end of the presentation they put a Venn diagram summing everything up. I felt that I learned a lot.

# data[].attributes.body
Rory, Izzy, and Kelsey’s presentation was very well-written and sophisticated. They touched upon different rhetorical strategies that were used in both To Kill a Mockingbird, and Perils of Indifference. This included diction, rhetorical questions, and characterization. They had a very good visual at the end, by using a vent diagram to show the similarities and differences between both of the works. We took two different approaches to this presentation, but both groups explained the difference well.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the comparison between fiction and non fiction of the two works. I thought that the idea that indifference is a strong force in both works was a unique approach to connecting them together. they did a great job showing the connections with powerful quotes from the writings

# data[].attributes.body
The other group connecting Boo Radley to FDR which I found interesting.  Boo Radley was portrayed as a dark character with many opinions from made up stories even though he was not characterized from experiences with him. However, FDR was characterized as an honorable man in history even though he knew what was going on in Germany.

# data[].attributes.body
The connection we discovered was that they related their quotes to the idea that indifference is the rock bottom of lows and exemplifies the idea of rascim

I found the overall theme of the contrast between light and dark, portrayed in FDR and Boo Radley to be very captivating. The portrayal as Boo Radley as a dark and mysterious character, with this epiphany and realization in the end that he was a very good man allows Harper Lee to demonstrate that everyone finally saw the true light in Boo Radley. On the other hand, FDR was seen as this amazing president who did so much good for the community, when in reality, as Elie Wiesel reveals, he was truly a terrible person to the Jewish community.

# data[].attributes.body
I liked how this group compared the story with the speech. Their presentation made it feel like Lee’s story was written in response to the speech and that the character of Atticus was created to be the “answer to indifference.”

# data[].attributes.body
I liked the way the other group compared FDR to Boo Radley by using their general views of them with the semiotics of light and dark. They discussed that FDR was traditionally seen as a great, righteous leader, therefore being light, but he did have darkness as well because he was flawed on Jewish history and was a bystander to the Holocaust. In TKAM, Boo Radley was compared to a monster, when in reality he was kind.

# data[].attributes.body
The second group I watched was very interesting in the fact that they linked pathos to the quotes and their claim. It really helped tap into my emotions to help portray a deeper meaning.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I found interesting in one of the discussions that was made was on how their points were focused in the social and societal impacts on indifference and how To Kill a Mockingbird is an example of that.

# data[].attributes.body
Their group employed Antithesis to show the effects of discrimination on minorities. They elaborated on values through characterization, using FDR and Atticus as examples. Even though there wasn't necessarily a happy ending, Atticus' attempt at justice caused the town—or even society as a whole—to go through a culture shock as a result of his stand against indifference. FDR ignored the socioeconomic problems, which led to the deaths of 11 million people. Our groups are similar because we both touched upon what could’ve happened if they hadn’t been indifferent, and the plethora effects of what happened as a result to their indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
Antithesis was used to show how indifferent actions against minorities are impactful. The use of opposite ideas to show contrast was used in both texts. In to kill a mockingbird, Atticus willingly chose to take the tom Robinson case even if he had no chance of winning. While FDR willingly chose to ignore what crimes hitler was committing. We had similar ideas on their indifference or lack thereof.

# data[].attributes.body
It was interesting that we both used Boo Radley in our presentations to prove two different points. Their group talked about how although Radley and Wiesel were “free,” they were never able to truly free their soul, while we spoke about how both Radley and FDR were viewed differently after events actually happened. It is intriguing to see the different ways people took their presentations.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it very interesting that both my project and Elizabeth’s project focused heavily on Boo Radley yet had extremely different points. Our group spoke about the perception of Boo compared to who he actually was based on events that occurred in the novel however, Elizabeth’s group spoke about how although Boo was free to go anywhere he wanted, he never felt a place of belonging.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection we found between both presentation is that we talked about of indifference and how racism is still a issue till this day.

# data[].attributes.body
Both of our groups had a similar layout and connection between Perils of Indifference and Boo Radley. We focused on Franklin Roosevelt in the Perils of Indifference, while they focused on Elie Wiesel. Not only that, but instead of comparing it to To Kill a Mockingbird as a whole, we chose a specific character, Boo Radley, to exemplify the difference. Their group focused on the use of pathos in the Perils of Indifference, to show the trapped feeling he was experiencing. We used juxtaposition to compare light and darkness in both To Kill a Mockingbird and Perils of Indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
Something I found interesting by the other group was the idea of bystanding being the end of humanities hope because helping others is the main way the society grows as a positive social group and with people not helping others, the world becomes cold.

# data[].attributes.body
I found it interesting that the idea indifference, lack of concern and sympathy, related to multiple characters within To Kill A Mockingbird. Both Boo Radley and Tom Robinson. The town  had many opinions on both of these characters and there is a lot of secondhand observations. The town remained indifferent to both Boo Radley and Tom Robinson.

# data[].attributes.body
An idea I found interesting while listening to the other group was the showing of indifference to Boo Radley. I liked how the other group linked indifference to Boo Radley by showing how Jem, Scout, and Dill were hesitant to explore further into Boo Radley’s life due to the stories that the people of Maycomb spread about him. This painted Boo Radley in a negative light, even rumoring that he stabbed his parents nonchalantly with scissors and then continued to use the scissors on whatever project he was working on. The town was indifferent to Boo Radley’s probable struggles and had little care for his story because they made assumptions about him.

# data[].attributes.body
The connection we discovered was that they related their quotes to the idea that Atticus is more modern and open and compared to a different time period which determined his thoughts of indifference and tied it with indifference is the lowest you can go.

# data[].attributes.body
An idea I found interesting was how the different points of views can impact how a reader can understand the problem or story. Scout tells us about Tom Robinson’s case and, as a little kid, she doesn’t know the depth the issue carries. If we look into Perils of Indifference, the speaker tells his own story and establishes his own opinions so that people can understand the crisis he believes comes from indifference.

# data[].attributes.body
While speaking to other groups today, we noticed a similarity between our presentations. Both of our presentations spoke about the connection of light and darkness and how both Harper Lee and Elie Wiesel use pathos to give us a better understanding of what events are happening or how someone is feeling. I liked how the other group gave us examples that clearly showed pathos in them. I also liked how they compared Boo Radley to Elie Wiesel when showing how they used pathos in a similar yet different way.

# data[].attributes.body
The Light and dark relates to our groups idea of although being free you may still feel sorrow. The group that did light and dark not only did a good job finding quotes but connected the light and dark in a different way. They not only used just juxtaposition, but also used the comparison of the way FDR is viewed differently. Although FDR was viewed as a “light”(good person) to most Americans he was viewed differently by the Jewish community. FDR did not do much for the Jewish community and was viewed as “dark” to them.

# data[].attributes.body
As I listened in on the other groups presentation, I found the overall connection of prejudice to Boo Radley and Tom Robinson to be a very important piece of information within the text. All of the children wouldn’t even bother stepping near the Radley house due to the rumors that they had previously heard, while in the end, he turns out to be a very good and honorable man. People assumed that Tom Robinson was immediately guilty due to the color of his skin, but even when the evidence was in his favor, the court would not see the real truth, that in the end, Tom Robinson was in fact innocent.

# data[].attributes.body
the idea that was presented in this presentation was the impact the perspective of the story has on the interpretation. They effectively showed the difference between the firsthand account in “Perils of Indifference” and the story of To Kill a Mockingbird told from Scouts point of view. I found it very intriguing just how much the narrator actually adds to the overall tone of the writing

# data[].attributes.body
My partner group used characterization to elaborate on morals and used FDR and Atticus as examples. Atticus took a stand against indifference and as a result, the town, or even society as a whole experienced a culture shock and it was an attempt at justice, even though there wasn’t a necessarily successful ending . FDR was indifferent towards the societal issues, and as a result 11 million people died. My partner groups connections with characterization relates to my groups choice of antithesis because it’s essentially comparison of a ‘light and dark.’ This is to emphasize the importance of not being ignorant at the expense of others, in this instance minority groups.

# data[].attributes.body
Something that I found interesting in one group is how they linked their quote to being a bystander and upstander and not just to the idea of indifference. I also found the slogan they used “You can’t stoop lower than indifference” intriguing as it puts it into modern terms instead of older terms that to kill a mockingbird and perils of indifference are written in.

# data[].attributes.body
The connection between racism and indifference was that people of color were being looked down upon by society. People need to stop being bystanders and stand up for their morals, even if society is against them. This is seen through Atticus because he knew the moment he took the case that Tom Robinson would be declared guilty, but he still did it.

# data[].attributes.body
A connection we found interesting as we were listening was on how they related their quotes to the idea that Atticus has a more modern and open minded opinion, such as a different time period which determines his own thoughts on indifference. Also, another point would be how they stated indifference as the lowest someone could go.

# data[].attributes.body
It was really interesting how before our most recent assignment Yianni and AJ’s group already had light and dark as well as a closing quote from Martin Luther King Jr.

# data[].attributes.body
The connection between racism and indifference and how if people are just bystanders of what they notice is wrong, then society will not get better. People need to take a stand for what they think is write, no matter what anybody else thinks. This is demonstrated through Atticus, when he goes against the norm as he chooses defend Tom Robinson when no one else would. It was against his morals to not stand up for Tom and he couldn’t see Tom get punished for something he didn’t do because of his race.
