While some say winter will be six weeks longer thanks
kiruha [24]

Hello. This question is incomplete. The full question is:

While some say winter will be six weeks longer thanks to the groundhog, no one really knows. One day it may be snowing, and the next it may be sunny and warm. Every day is different and, while we are able to see approaching hurricanes using radar, the weather will forever go to the beat of its own drum.

What is the main idea?

The coastal regions experience the most damage as a result of hurricanes.

Hurricanes are intensely powerful storms that are only growing more intense.

While we may know what's coming ahead of time, weather remains unpredictable.

Meteorologists can make predictions of hurricane movement, but the complex conditions make certainty impossible.

Answer:

While we may know what's coming ahead of time, weather remains unpredictable.

Explanation:

The sentence "the weather will forever go to the beat of its own drum" shows that the weather is completely unpredictable and will act according to its own wishes, even if we try to predict what it will do. This shows us that the weather is something beyond our control and that it is ready to surprise us, presenting a snowy day and another sunny day, without giving us the slightest warning.

To what extent was mayella free to speak the truth? in to kill a mocking bird
agasfer [191]
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.
