Answer:
Atticus says that Bob Ewell must be crazy to attack Jem and scout, it is the only explanation he could think of that will justify a man to attack innocent children.
Heck Tate disagrees and says Bob Ewell was just mean and had enough liquor in him to make him brave enough to attack children, implying that he was a coward.
Of the two, Heck Tate's explanation is the most correct and the one that aligns with how I feel about Bob Ewell.
Explanation:
Atticus cannot understand what could possibly make a man want to kill children unless the man is mad, so he says Bob Ewell was crazy.
Heck Tate however, assures him that Bob Ewell was not crazy but just "mean as hell" and a coward on top of that, so his attack on the children was inevitable.
Heck Tate's explanation is the correct one.
A journal entry is the correct answer
If we imagine ourselves in the scene in which the witness speaks with a firm and confident voice saying "that is the man I saw", the most probable thing is that it convinces us because she is very sure of herself, the witness does not doubt it for a moment, she/he is stating it.
The word <u>averred</u> can be replaced by <u>stated</u> since they have the same meaning. Other synonims can be claim, declare or affirm.
This is a question of morals and ethics, and the answer will depend on your own personal, subjective opinions.
On one hand, some people would say that we should experiment as much as we can - going to such lengths where the modification through genetic engineering will allow us to create new humans based on our wants and needs. We will be able to choose our baby's eye color, hair color, everything we might want to do will be possible, and for some people, that is a welcome future.
However, on the other hand, there is also a large number of people who are against such modifications, primarily because it is immoral and 'against God.' In their opinion, we are playing God, doing what we were not supposed to do, and therefore will have to pay the price.
It all depends on how you look at the subject - it is quite personal.
