What is significant about the tree in Compsons’ front yard in The Sound and The Fury

English
1 answer:
Tanya [424]3 years ago
6 0

In <em>The Sound and the Fury</em>, the pear tree that is in the front yard plays an important role in the history of the Compson's family.

At the beginning of the story, we learn that the tree is associated with the innocence and camaraderie that exists among the children. The tree is a symbol of maternal love and reassurance, as shown by the fact that Benjy believes Caddy "smells like trees." However, the decline in morality of the family is mirrored by the decline of the tree. When Caddy becomes sexually active, the innocence of the family ends, and we learn that she "does not smell like trees" anymore.

Explain what a synthesis of two authors' writings is.
Y_Kistochka [10]

Answer:

In composition courses, “synthesis” commonly refers to writing about printed texts, drawing together particular themes or traits that you observe in those texts and organizing the material from each text according to those themes or traits.

Explanation:

The Basic Steps Of Synthesis Are…

Get your sources (either assigned or researched).

Read them closely. Recognize themes, traits, or patterns.

What does each source say? What do you say?  What is your truth (synthesized from your reading)?  This is your thesis statement!

Write a kernel essay. Practice punctuating titles and properly citing with strong in-text citations.

Extend your kernel essay into a broader essay for a final project!

What affect can social class have on your access to justice?
Alexus [3.1K]
Most would reason that people with status would never lie because they have much more to lose. In areas of people with high class, the word of a noble is taken as truth compared to one of a peasant. Many court cases, especially back in the day, "justice" is ended with the loss of the lower status member. However, in areas of high poverty with little to no higher class, the rich and noble can be despised. Here, "justice" can take the form of beating and uproars.
