- Why is Tom Robinson unable to use his left arm? -
B) It got caught in a cotton gin.
(B) is correct because Reverend Sykes tells the children (Scout, Jem, and Dill) that Tom got his hand caught in a cotton gin when he was a child.
~Hope I helped!~
I say its C. correct me if I'm wrong
This passage allows us to see into the inner struggle and loneliness of the character. This is revealed in the phrase "interior gloom" while he faces the "open lattice" but he was not looking at anything at all. He was engrossed in his own thoughts and feelings of a closure or an ending of life implied in the phrase "the fire had smouldered to ashes." The surroundings was so silent and cold as revealed in the words "damp, mild air," "cloudy evening" and "so still."
It really depends on the person and what they think is more important -
A: You could show that the 2008 Olympics was Michael Phelps' "last hurrah" as it were, as he did not do as well in the 2012 games, BUT the paper is on the 2008 games and not Phelps himself
B: The proof of the use of steroids could be used to make a point that perhaps the security needs to be stepped up, or that in the modern world, sport is becoming too unfair as new drugs are invented because people feel the need to cheat for the cash prizes.
C: This is not really an essay topic, but perhaps you could combine it with B as a controversial point.
D:You could use this point as proof that the bar is being raised every year, and that talent is being found everywhere, better talent, even from poorer countries that you wouldn't expect. You could also tie in Jesse Owens.
Personally, I would use B as drugs is a hot topic around the world, but it is ultimately up to Jacob.
