Answer:

4 years

Explanation:

Let x be the age ( in years ) of each daughters,

∵ Mother is 30 years older than her daughters,

⇒ Age of the mother = x + 30

Now, after 2 years,

The age of each daughter = x + 2,

And, the age of the mother = x + 30 + 2 = ( x + 32 ) years,

According to the question,

3(x+2+x+2) = x + 32

3(2x+4) = x + 32

6x + 12 = x + 32

5x = 20

⇒ x = 4

Hence, each of the daughters is 4 years old.

What evidence from Chapter 8 suggests that Jem has stopped thinking of Boo Radley as a source of danger while Scout hasn’t yet c
frutty [35]

Answer:

Jem chose not to return the blanket so as to save Boo Radley from getting into trouble with his father. He told Atticus "<em>I swear to God he ain’t ever harmed us,  he ain’t ever hurt us, he coulda cut my throat from ear to ear that night but he tried to  mend my pants instead… he ain’t ever hurt us, Atticus"</em>

Explanation:

In Harper Lee's novel "To Kill A Mockingbird", the residents of Maycomb seem to all have a common understanding not to get too involved with the Radleys. They, including Atticus Finch, also tell their children to not disturb them. That was how the Radleys came to be regarded as something to be abhorred.

But Chapter 8 shows the realization of not only Jem but Atticus himself that Boo Radley was far from who they had been thinking he'd be. One such evidence in this chapter is the fire scene where all of Maycomb had come out to help put out the fire from Miss Maudie's place. Atticus had asked them to stay put at the Radley's gate where they stayed till everything was over. So engrossed were they with the scene that they did not even realize Boo, who was a recluse, had actually ventured out of the house to put a blanket over Scout who must have been feeling cold. This shows how sensitive Boo is, not forgetting he was the one who had left those numerous 'gifts' at the tree hole and had also mended Jem's torn pants before. In his decision to not return the blanket to him, Jem's action signifies he doesn't want Boo to be scolded or even have any hard time with his father for his kindness to Scout. This incident made Jem realize Boo Radley is not a source of danger, which Scout still didn't.

self-actualization                                  

Explanation:

Self-actualization: The word self-actualization is given by Abraham Maslow in his theory of hierarchy of needs. According to him, self-actualization is the highest level of need and a person can only reach this stage if he has already fulfilled the initial needs.

Abraham Maslow describes self-actualization as the ability of a person to become the finest version of himself or herself. In other words, the tendency or desire of a person to become everything the person is capable of becoming. It represents a person's need for personal growth throughout life.

Example: A poet should write poems if he wants to be happy and satisfied.
