Answer:

Harte develops the theme of injustice in "Tennessee's Partner" in many ways, here goes an example:

<em>Tennessee supposedly stole pistols and a knife from a stranger on the road to Red Dog.  However, it is the stranger who reports the alleged theft. There are no witnesses to verify his report. Nevertheless, the men of Red Dog and Sandy Bar assume that Tennessee is guilty and form search parties to track him down. A stranger captures Tennessee in Grizzly Canyon after the two men have the following  verbal exchange: </em>

<em />

<em>"What have you got there?—I call," said Tennessee, quietly. "Two bowers and an ace," said the stranger, as quietly, showing two revolvers and a bowie knife. "That takes me," returned Tennessee; and with this gamblers' epigram, he threw away his useless pistol, and rode back with his captor. </em>

This passage reveals that the stranger has two guns and a knife, the same items that Tennessee was said to have stolen. But in his confrontation with the stranger, Tennessee has only one gun. Could it be that this stranger is the same stranger who reported the theft of his guns and knife? If so, why does he still have them? And why does Tennessee have only a “useless pistol”?

The reader learns later that this stranger is the judge in Tennessee's trial, Judge Lynch. Keep in mind here that one of the reasons that the men of Sandy Bar look with suspicion on Tennessee is that he is a gambler. But Lynch is also a gambler, as indicated by his use of card-playing lingo—“two bowers and an ace.”

At this point, one can speculate that Lynch lied about the theft of his pistols and knife because he wanted to get even with Tennessee. Perhaps Tennessee beat Lynch in a card game—or cheated him. The following passage describing courtroom proceedings further implicates the judge in a scheme to undo Tennessee:

<em>The Judge appeared to be more anxious than the prisoner, who, otherwise unconcerned, evidently took a grim pleasure in the responsibility he had created. "I don't take any hand in this yer game," had been his invariable but good-humored reply to all questions. The Judge . . . for a moment vaguely regretted that he had not shot him 'on sight' that morning.” </em>

Now here is something else: Why is the judge named Lynch? The lower-cased verb lynch means to hang a person who has not received a fair trial.

But even if Tennessee is guilty of the crime with which he is charged, the penalty—hanging—is excessive.

Hart emphasizes character development while presenting life in California's gold camps with realism and humor. The humor enables the author to avoid sentimentality and melodrama. His dialogue captures the colorful patois of the prospectors, and his descriptions detail their habits, idiosyncrasies, manner of dress, prejudices, and rough-hewn system of justice

Write a paragraph republic day​
Fantom [35]

Republic Day is our national festival that is celebrated every year on 26 January. This day is special for Indians because we got our constitution on this day. As India got its independence on 15 August 1947 and further on 29 August 1947, a committee was appointed to make our constitution. Dr. B R Ambedkar was appointed as the chairperson and it took two years, 11 months, and 18 days in the framing of the constitution. The constitution was formed on 26 November 1949 but was finally adopted on 26 January 1950 as this date has its historical significance. It was confessed to celebrate our Independence Day on the same date in a meeting of the Indian National Congress held on 26 January 1930. But it took 17 years to get free from British rule and India got its freedom on 15 August 1947. So, we celebrated Independence Day on 15 August.

bearhunter [10]

Answer: Jahren is a biologist who has a soft spot for leaves, trees and other life giving plant. In Jahren's prologue, she answered people who wanted to know why she didn't study the ocean though she lives in Hawaii. Jahren is concerned about the fate of trees and plants in the world. She believes that a lot of tree are being fell without adequately replacement and that this affects nature.

According to her, each plant or tree that is felled, is an unnecessary death and she doesn't care whether the plants were lacking in one vitamin or whether the plant is big or small. She believes that the first vital step to becoming a scientist is to care, and not necessarily by ones knowledge of biology, physics, or chemistry.

Some rhetorical choices were made when she said "Someone died? and

Maybe I can convince you" while trying to explain why plants should not be unnecessarily killed.
