To what extent was mayella free to speak the truth? in to kill a mocking bird

English

agasfer [191]4 years ago

Technically since Mayella is under oath while she is testifying in court, she should be speaking only the truth and nothing but the truth. However, she does not feel completely free to speak the truth. 
If she were to speak the truth and tell the court that her father is the one who beat her, it is very likely that she would receive another beating. Fearing for her safety is one obstacle that keeps her from telling the whole truth.
Societal rules are also keeping her from speaking the truth. If Mayella were to confess that she is the one who made advances towards Tom, she would be further shunned by the townspeople. During the trial, she is gaining a lot of attention. Normally, she is rarely seen by the people in town, and when she is rarely is she acknowledged. This trial gives her attention. By revealing that she is not as innocent as she appears to be, she would lose her stage.

Name some disadvantages and advantages about personality disorders .
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

Personality disorders bring with themselves disadvantages and advantages

Explanation:

Someone who is affected by personality disorders has difficulties in relationships and in living in general. Severe personality disorders often imply mood disorder,  learning disability and neurologic abnormality. In many cases the causes are to be traced back to the patients' childhood, in other cases instead, disorders arise due to life traumas. Anxiety, neurologic abnormality and deficit disorder are among the disadvantages of people affected by personality disorders. On the other hand, patients with such disorders have a deeper sense of empathy, and as a consequence are generally more curious and intuitive. Last but not least, the intensity of emotions can be released into creative endeavours and patients with such disorders can often be artists, musicians or writers.

Identify the theme of "H-ey, Come on O-ut!" and explain how it develops over the course of the story. Use at least three pieces
denpristay [2]

Answer:

The theme of the story is how the idea of karma works, meaning that what goes around comes around. In this case, the idea of our actions having consequences in our future is used to express the importance of taking care of our environment because whatever we do to it will have consequences on our way of living.

Explanation:

The concessionaire that offers the hole to dump anything people might want to get rid of ends up putting the village in danger as we learn by the end that all that has been thrown into the hole will fall from the sky.

The reader realizes this when the first item that had been thrown into the hole, a pebble, falls from the sky without nobody, not even the workman standing next to it, noticing it. We can then assume that all the nuclear waste and garbage will eventually fall from the sky as well.
