Read the passage from "The Strangers That Came to Town" carefully.

English
1 answer:
Nitella [24]3 years ago

Answer:

The scene introduces the reader to the narrator and to the Duvitches.

Explanation:

The passage above was taken from "The Strangers That Came to Town" by Ambrose Flack. The passage was stated at the first part of the story thus, it is meant to introduce the reader to the characters, at first.

The passage introduces the narrator by stating, "All afternoon, Mother, Tom and I..." This means the narrator is a daughter/son and, probably, the sister of Tom. It also introduces the "Duvitches" since they were new in town. People were very curious of them because they were the first immigrants of their nationality to have settled in town. So, this gives the readers an idea about the Duvitches as having come from a different part of the world.

What does atticus say about the assumtions mayella and bob ewell made in coming foward as witnesses
Rama09 [41]

Answer:

The trial begins. Heck Tate is the first witness. Under cross-examination, he admits that a doctor was never called to the scene to examine Mayella Ewell. Bob Ewell takes the stand next and causes a stir in the courtroom with his bad attitude and foul language. Mr. Ewell is not shaken from his story, but Atticus carefully plants the seed that Mr. Ewell himself could've beaten Mayella. Mayella takes the stand next. Even though Atticus believes that she's lying, he treats her with courtesy and respect; Mayella thinks that he's making fun of her. Her testimony soon proves that Mayella is unused to gentility and common courtesy. Atticus asks Tom to stand up so that Mayella may identify him; as he does, Scout notices that Tom's left arm is withered and useless — he could not have committed the crime in the way it was described. The state rests its case.

Atticus calls only one witness — Tom Robinson. Tom tells the true story, being careful all the while not to come right out and say that Mayella is lying. However, Tom makes a fatal error when he admits under cross-examination that he, a black man, felt sorry for Mayella Ewell. Dill has a very emotional response to Mr. Gilmer's questioning and leaves the courtroom in tears. Scout follows Dill outside, where they talk with Dolphus Raymond, who reveals the secret behind his brown bag and his drinking. Scout and Dill return to the courtroom in time to hear the last half of Atticus' impassioned speech to the jury. Just as Atticus finishes, Calpurnia walks into the courtroom and heads toward Atticus.

the idea that love conquers all is an example of a A.plot device B.universal truth C.character conflict D.Situational irony
Sergeeva-Olga [200]

The correct answer is universal truth.


Universal truth is something that should be known to everyone, regardless of their nationality or upbringing. The idea that love conquers all appears in many texts, and it is something that most people, no matter where they live or how old they are, believe in. Therefore, it applies to every nation, and is thus universal.
