Answer:

An example of direct characterization from this passage is <u>"She was a pious woman; she had the consolations of religion and, to her at least, her martyrdom was not wholly sordid"</u>

Explanation:

"A Wagner Matinee" is a short story by Willa Cather published in 1904. In this passage a young Bostonian named Clark, the story's narrator, is describing his Aunt's past, and her care and love for him. <em>In most of the lines from this passage, he describer his aunt's character indirectly by her actions and reactions to specific situations. But in this line "She was a pious woman; she had the consolations of religion and, to her at least, her martyrdom was not wholly sordid" he describes her directly. He uses adjectives pious, and phrases 'had the consolation of religion', 'her martyrdom was not wholly sordid.' to characterize her.</em>

Direct Characterization: It is a characterization technique in which author or any character from the story/novel describes and reveals a character by using descriptive adjectives, epithets, or phrases.

Indirect Characterization: In this technique of characterization an author reveals a character through character's actions and reactions to specific situations and conflicts.

Explain the relationship between heat transfer and calorimetry. Justify your response in two or more complete sentences. Write y
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

The relationship exists in the fact that calorimetry is a scientific method that aids the measurement of the heat transferred between two systems. Heat transfer is a term that describes the various ways heat is used and exchanged between systems.

Explanation:

Heat transfer refers to the exchange of heat between two physical bodies whereas, Calorimetry is a method of measuring the amount of heat transferred between two bodies. Calorimetry employs a system which is to be measured, as well as a means of feeding heat into the system or withdrawing heat from it.

The Calorimeter is calibrated so that an observer can take note of the changes that occur depending on the action done to the physical systems undergoing the reaction. A calorimeter is the medium through which the calorimetry is done. An example is the bomb calorimeter used for this purpose.

In 250-300 words, discuss how the incident with the rabid dog ties in to the broader themes of the novel, To Kill a Mockingbird
Bond [772]

The broader themes of <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> have to do with good and evil. The novel examines how our perception of good people and bad people change as we grow up. The different qualities of good and evil are not necessarily separated or unrelated, nor there are people who are entirely good or evil. Both elements can be found in every single individual.

The one character who understands this is Atticus Finch, who is involved with different themes of the novel and is able to identify it on the people that surround him. He is also involved in the mad/rabid dog incident.

An important theme of the novel is courage, which can be found in characters that show negative (or evil) values such as racism. For instance, Mrs. Dubose is admired by Atticus for being courageous, but at the same time he condemns her racism.

The rabid dog has been said to represent the racism Atticus has to fight in the town, without the help of other white citizens.

Courage is also shown in the incident with the rabid dog as one of the many qualities that Atticus has, and also one of the reasons he is recognized by others as a protector, not only from the rabid dog, but from evil itself.  

The rabid dog incident can also be tied with another recurring theme: injustice. The way Tom Robinson is judged is not fair, but Atticus will be there to defend him, even though he doesn't have to do it. Just the way he must eliminate the rabid dog on his own.
