Answer:

Jem is dumbstruck with the accuracy of his father's shot. Miss Maudie tells the children that their father used to be known as "One-Shot Finch," the best dead-shot in the county. She says he doesn't shoot unless he has to, because he feels that when he holds a gun, God has given him an unfair advantage over living beings. Scout wants to tell everyone in school about the incident, but Jem tells her not to. Jem explains that he wouldn't care if Atticus "couldn't do a blessed thing," because Atticus is a gentleman.

Explanation:

After Atticus shoots and kills a rabid dog in one shot, both Jem and Scout are astonished at their father's marksmanship abilities and wonder why he never bragged about his talent. Miss Maudie explains to the children that Atticus is an extremely humble man with a civilized heart. Miss Maudie then tells Jem and Scout, "People in their right minds never take pride in their talents" (Lee, 102). Later that day, Scout mentions to Jem that she cannot wait to brag about her father's abilities at school, and Jem tells her to not say anything. Jem recognizes that his father is a gentleman and wishes to follow in his footsteps by behaving like a humble individual, which is why he encourages Scout to not brag about their father's talents. Personally, I would be able to control my pride and emotions by staying silent about my father's marksmanship abilities. Maycomb is a small town, and the word would rapidly spread about Atticus's expert marksmanship. <u>I feel that it is always better to hear about someone's talent and abilities from a secondhand source than listen to a person brag about their own talents.</u>

dybincka [34]

Answer:

I think the reason why she told a lie instead of the truth was because she loves her husband with all of her heart and she would hate to see him perish.

Which quotation from the passage best
evablogger [386]

Answer:

brainly.com/question/11210918

Explanation:if the link does not work

the quotation that best supports her feelings is "But in that same heart, Agatha couldn’t shake the feeling that she wanted something different for her own life."   The reason is because it is quoted at a crucial moment, in which she, despite the possible anger of the gods, made a decision, representing that she had always kept her feelings of running away from arranged marriage, as before it had been stated that she knew she might be the next.

Does this monologue have such dramatic elements as conflict resolution dialogue and stage directions porphyrias lover
Dvinal [7]
Porphyria's Lover is a dramatic monologue that tells us the speaker's thoughts.

There is no conflict resolution: the poem ends with Porphyria dead by her lover's hand. No one has come upon them by the end of the poem and he has not been punished. What happens after this scene ends is unresolved.

There is no dialogue, either. The speaker of the poem tells us that Porphyria "calls" the speaker, but he does not relate her exact words. There is no dialogue in the poem.
Finally, there are no formal stage directions. The speaker does describe several actions happening during the poem -- as when the speaker tells us he strangles Porphyria with her hair -- but we do not have formal stage directions as one would get in a play.
