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>

Explain what effect the repetition of the lines “Brennan on the Moor, Brennan on the Moor,
azamat

Answer:

The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor"

Explanation:

The repetition of the line, "Brennan on the moor/Brennan on the moor/bold and undaunted stood young Brennan on the moor" in the opening and closing stanzas call the reader to remember the name of the man in this epic-style poem as we begin and end his tragic story.

In the opening lines, the repetition is quite like a battle cry where the person spoken about is seen as our hero. As readers, we repeat his name to honor him and call forth his story.

In the closing lines, the repetition is meant to be an homage to the hero of our poem who has died.
