Notes 8/26/10
The forces of good and evil in To Kill a Mockingbird is bigger than the tiny Southern town in which the story takes place. The author adds drama and atmosphere to her book by including a couple of Gothic details in the setting and plot. Among the Gothic elements in To Kill a Mockingbird are the sudden and unnatural snowfall, the fire that demolishes Miss Maudie’s house, the children’s superstitions about Boo Radley, the mad dog that Atticus shoots, and the ominous night on which Bob Ewe attacks the children. These elements, out in place of the normally silent, calm Maycomb ,create tension in the story and serve to foreshadow the troublesome events in the story.

Korea is an amazing country today, compared to what happened in it’s history. Korea history was terrible. During 1910-1945 Korea was under the Japanese rule. Through these 35 years, Korea went through many sufferings and loses. The Japanese made the Korean cabinet members to sign the document of annexation. They also used the Koreans as slaves, forced them to use the Japanese language and religion, and used Korean women as comfort women. On August15, 1945 Korea finally was able to become independent from the help of the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. After 5 years of their independence from Japan, the Korean War started. Although it lasted for only 3 years, it had done a significant damage to Korea. During the war there was a lot of killing and taking over land. China helped North Korea and America helped South Korea. Due to this, Korea was split in the middle. The Korean War left Korea in devastation. But today, Korea is a strong country.
