What does Atticus do that makes Jem and Scout proud of their father?
kirza4 [7]

Answer:

  1. This changes when Atticus shoots the mad dog. They find out that he is a sharp shooter and was infamous in the county as one-shot Finch. They were now proud of their father. Jem is confused that his father has kept this a secret and at first wants to know why Atticus would not be proud and brag about this ability.
  2. The reason Jem won't allow Scout to brag about Atticus's talent is because he wants to be a gentleman like his father and understands that having the ability to shoot beings is not something to take pride in.

Compare the depictions of the nature of female power in the following poems: Margaret Atwood, “Siren Song,” and “Aunt Jennifer’s
erma4kov [3.2K]

<u>Answer:</u>

The depictions of nature of female power in the poems Siren Song and Aunt Jennifer's Tigers is in complete contrast with each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the poem "Siren Song" female is shown as the one who holds the power over various men whereas in Aunt Jennifer's Tigers, the female is shown to be suppressed by her own husband.

In the poem Aunt Jennifer's Tigers, Aunt Jennifer is shown to express her feelings of wanting freedom and independence through her sewn tigers, which depict how she had been suppressed by her husband her entire life and has always wanted to escape like the tigers go "prancing, proud and unfraid"

whereas the poem The Siren Song shows men to be lured by a woman's call towards herself make the foolish and lustful men attracted leading to their own destruction on the fateful rocks thus showing the power women have on men which is in contradiction to the other poem.

Enjambment is the literary device in which an idea is continued across a line break without any punctuation to mark a stop or end. It is commonly employed in poetry for continuing a rhythm/idea without any restrictions.

Caesura is demonstrated as the metrical pause in a poetic line at the end of a phrase and before the beginning of another. It is denoted by a comma, two lines, tick, etc. It allows the author to add a dramatic and emotional touch to the idea.

A Quatrain is defined as the stanza consisting of four lines. It is a very popular form employed in poetry to add structure and rhythm.

Stanza is described as the 'group of lines' with a specific rhyme and meter. It helps in giving form to the ideas in a poem.

Couplet is a couple of lines rhyming at the end which allows rhythm in poetry.

Octave and sestet are the stanzas consisting of eight and fourteen lines respectively. They together contribute to formation of petrarchan sonnet.
