In the context of this passage (or any other passage, for that matter), the phrase a rule of thumb is best understood to mean a rule that usually works. The correct answer is D. It is a principle that is not necessarily always reliable, but works most of the time. Unfortunately, the phrase comes from domestic violence, where it was stated that a man could beat his wife as long as the stick he used for beating her wasn't thicker than his thumb.

Atticus's summation to the jury is a powerful, brilliant speech. Write a paragraph (at least five sentences) of your personal re

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

He means that the justice system works only when each individual juror takes his duty seriously. This means that a juror must use reason and intellect, weigh the evidence objectively, and leave all biases and/or prejudices out of the courtroom.

Atticus's closing speech is found at the end of chapter 20 where he begins by saying that there aren't many complicated facts in this case. What the jury must remember, and what Atticus does not take time to retell for them is first, Mayella was beaten on her right side which signifies that the abuser was left-handed. Mr. Ewell is left-handed and Tom Robinson's left hand is crippled and unable to have hurt anyone. Next, there is no medical evidence showing that Mayella was raped by anyone, let alone by Tom. Finally, there are no secondary witnesses to testify for either side to say who is telling the truth. Therefore, Atticus shifts all of the blame to Mayella Ewell and places the word guilty upon her during his closing arguments. Atticus also blames the South's social and racial boundaries for the situation that the Ewells and Tom Robinson find themselves in that day.

Firdavs [7]

In the poem "I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud" by William Wordsworth, the author compares the daffodils that he is seeing to stars. He tells us that the daffodils looked like stars on the milky way. Moreover, he personifies them by saying that they were "tossing their heads." The mood that is created in the text is one of happiness and relaxation.

Continuous as the stars that shine

And twinkle on the milky way,

They stretched in never-ending line

Along the margin of a bay:

Ten thousand saw I at a glance,

Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.
