Answer:

First of all, if he gave the name o the boys who taught him to read they would have faced very hard punishment because it was a forbidden act.

Second, he finds: "It is almost an unpardonable offense to teach slaves to read in this Christian country." Ironic because Jesus taught its followers to love each other

Explanation:

First, the act of teaching a slave how to read and write was considered betrayal because many people had done it and it guided them to fight for their freedom.

Second, Frederick Douglas was an American Author in the 19th century. He was from African American origins and was a very critic gentleman. Therefore, he found that there were few flaws in the logic of the pro-slavery individuals. Writing to point them out. This is te chase of this statement that went against Jesus' teachings, even though it was a Christian country.

What are challenges forensic scientists face in dealing with fiber evidence?
kodGreya [7K]
The thing about fiber evidence is that it becomes lost, very quickly. I'll assume that you already know what fiber evidence is. It's basically any sort of evidence that is thread-like, such as small threads of cotton, animal hair, or the tiny pieces of a carpet. Again, fibers fall away, and disperse, very quickly. After four hours, about 80% of potential fiber evidence is gone. After 24 hours, about 95% of potential fiber evidence is gone. The challenge here is to collect fiber evidence as soon as possible. Time is very crucial.
not only is obtaining the evidence problematic but also is getting to the source of fiber evidence. DNA evidence obtained from fiber evidence is often in small amounts. That is why we have processes like DNA Amplification. If you have a hair fiber it is challenging in that the dna can be destroyed by hair chemicals or it could be from a wig. Tracing the source, wig if so what is the chemical makeup of the fiber etc.

What does the text, To Kill a Mockingbird, suggest to you about the journey to maturity?
Vikentia [17]

Three examples of Jem showing maturity in To Kill a Mockingbird are when he refuses to leave Atticus with the lynch mob, when he invites Walter Cunningham to their house for lunch, and when he protects Scout from Bob Ewell's attack.

One quote that demonstrates Scout's maturity in To Kill a Mockingbird can found towards the beginning of chapter 28, when she walks past the Radley residence at night. Scout tells Jem, "It is a scary place though, ain't it?... Boo doesn't mean anybody any harm, but I'm right glad you're along" (Lee, 258).

The overall message, or theme, in To Kill a Mockingbird is that every human being deserves to be treated with dignity. In the beginning of the story, we learn that children should be treated with dignity.

She shows growth in her maturity by realizing Boo is a generous man that risked his life to save hers. In chapter 30, Scout provides further evidence of her maturity while showing Boo to the front porch.

Scout loses her innocence in To Kill a Mockingbird when she watches the jury deliver a guilty verdict in the Tom Robinson trial, despite the overwhelming evidence that Robinson is innocent.
