How does Walter speak different from jem and scout

English
1 answer:
beks73 [17]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

he four years difference between Scout and Jem is certainly apparent in their behaviors. After Scout has been reprimanded by Miss Caroline for explaining to her that Walter does not want to take the quarter he has been offered by her because she has "shamed" him since there is no way he can repay this quarter since "He's a Cunningham." Naively, Scout assumes that Miss Caroline understands what she means; however, the teacher, who is from another part of the state, does not understand Scout's inferences. Instead, she perceives Scout as insolent and punishes her, humiliating Scout before her classmates, who break into "a storm of laughter."

Once outside at lunchtime, Scout quickly seeks revenge against Walter, knocking him down and rubbing his nose in the dirt. But, Jem comes by and tells her to stop, observing the unfairness of her attack, "You're bigger than he is." Scout retorts, "He's as old as you, nearly....He made me start off on the wrong foot." Then, when Scout explains the circumstances of her rage, Jem, much like Atticus would do, asks him if his father is Mr. Walter Cunningham from Old Sarum and generously invites Walter to have lunch with them, explaining,

"Our daddy's a friend of your daddy's. Scout here, she's crazy--she won't fight you any more."

Certainly, Jem is more mature and diplomatic than Scout, and of a less belligerent nature than she. For instance, Scout indelicately criticizes Walter's use of syrup on his food, and she contradicts Calpurnia who scolds her, saying that she should treat company well. "He ain't company, Cal, he's just a Cunningham." After she leaves to return to school she vows retaliation upon Calpurnia.

1. How does Bola explain the death of her first six sons?
erik [133]

Answer:

She says that there was a time when she bore children regularly, every two years. Six times she had born a boy child and six times they had died. Some had swollen up and with weak, plaintive cries had faded away. Others had shuddered in sudden convulsions, with burning skins, and had rolled up their eyes and died. They had all died; or rather he had died, Bola thought, because she knew it was one child all the time whose spirit had crept up restlessly into her womb to be born and mock her.

What is ironic that Billy finally has on him after the bombing that he didn’t have earlier in the war?
BabaBlast [244]

That Billy finally has a<u> gun</u> on him after the bombing that he didn’t have earlier in the war is ironic. Hence, the correct answer is option C. a gun.

<h3>What is an irony?</h3>

An irony is a state of affairs or an event that seems deliberately contrary to what one expects and is often wryly amusing as a result. An irony is also a literary device, originally used in Greek tragedy, through which the essence of a character's words or actions is clear to the audience or reader although unknown to the character.

Therefore, the fact that Billy finally has a gun on him after the bombing that he didn’t have earlier in the war is ironic for it was of no use anymore as at the time he has it.
