Answer:
there was a moment near sunset when kate felt like the old oak which had shed its leaves and layed wating for winter.
Explanation:
Scout, in her mature naivete, states what it means quite succinctly:
In Maycomb, grown men stood outside in the front yard for only two reasons: death and politics. I wondered who had died. Jem and I went to the front door, but Atticus called, "Go back in the house."
The reflects the kind of small-town mentality exhibited throughout the story. Men only call you out into your yard to relay the news of a death, or to express support or disapproval for political candidates and causes. Scout doesn't understand the true nature of the mob appearing (although she will later in the chapter), so she asks "who had died." Atticus clearly does understand, as he orders his children back into the house.
Aunt Alexandra does not directly state her thoughts on Tom's innocence of guilt, but she does express her ideas about Atticus defending him. Scout relates that she heard the end of a conversation between Atticus and Aunt Alexandra, in which Atticus tells her that he's:
". . . in favor of Southern womanhood as much as anybody, but not for preserving polite fiction at the expense of human life," a pronouncement that made me suspect they had been fussing again.
I sought Jem and found him in his room, on the bed deep in thought. "Have they been at it?" I asked.
"Sort of. She won't let him alone about Tom Robinson. She almost said Atticus was disgracin' the family Scout.
Thus, it doesn't really matter to Aunt Alexandra whether or not Tom is innocent, or whether or not he gets a fair trial. All she cares about, as she proves time & time again, is the family name. To her, Atticus' defense of a black man is akin to disgrace for an old, established family like the Finches. Of course, she may truly think Tom deserves a fair trial, but she doesn't want her brother to be the one to ensure he gets it.
Hope this helped! (;
All their eyes on me
Pulling me down
A group of laughter
It must be about me
Hide in the bathroom
Keep your feet up
Don't let anyone know you're there
They'll think you're a creep
Even if you smile at me
Even if you say you love me
I can't fathom that it's true
It's just a lie to humiliate me
Don't give in
No however you can be thankful
Answer:
Dashes and commas
Explanation:
One of the functions of dashes and commas is to mark an interruption from the rest of a sentence. These punctuation marks can be used in pairs (when they are in the middle of a sentence) or alone (mainly when they are at the end of the sentence) and their main difference is that while commas are used to mark off a weak interruption, dashes mark a strong interruption.
Examples:
He loved me — that's what he had said— but he left abruptly and never came back.
Mark wanted a family — or so he believed.
I liked your company, of course, but I had to go home.
if its multiple choice.
