Answer:
The first funny/ironic fact about the Finch family's history that we learn in Chapter 13 is that the Finch family married within their own family for many generations.
Another interesting fact that we (the readers) learn is that the Finches cousin Joshua attempted to shoot the president, and went to prison for many years.
These examples are just two of many that imply the Finch children are, perhaps, not from the finest family lineage.

Okay you’re gonna need to attach the essay!
a)He believes it is stealthy and all-encompassing.
He describes the fog as being everywhere when he says its on the window-panes, in the drain pools, and "into the corners of the evening". All-encompassing means that it is everywhere, surrounding everything. The way the speaker leaves out any mention of sound or noise makes it seem as though this fog moves quietly. The description of the fog going to the window-panes, the corners, and the pools gives it a quick stealthy feel.

After reading the poem "The Hangman", by Maurice Ogden, we can answer the questions:
1. The Hangman built the gallows to hang the townspeople in front of the courthouse.
2. The townspeople wondered who the Hangman would kill. He told them he would kill someone who "served [him] the best."
3. The Hangman hanged first a man who was from another land, not from that town.
4. The townspeople asked him if he had not killed the foreigner the day before. In other words, they wondered why he was still there. I believe the Hangman had not left because he intended, all along, to kill the others.
5. The one who spoke out against the Hangman was hanged by him.
6. The third person was a Jew. The townspeople ask him if that was the man who served him well. The fourth executed was a black man.
7. The townspeople stop asking questions and reacting to the killings. I believe they are feeling both afraid and confused, because the Hangman does not answer their questions directly and never leaves.
8. The speaker thinks the Hangman called him to help pull down the gallows.
9. The Hangman really called him with the intention of hanging him. When the speaker accuses the Hangman of having lied, the Hangman asks who has served him more faithfully than the speaker.
- The poem "The Hangman" by Maurice Ogden is a narrative poem from a first-person perspective.
- The poem criticizes people and government's inertia in the face of injustice and cruelty. Many interpret the poem as a criticism to the world's reaction to Nazism.
- The first people hanged by the Hangman are precisely those he knows no one will defend: a stranger, a Jew, a black man.
- People do nothing about it. As long as it does not happen to them, they do not care about the suffering of others.
- Finally, the Hangman begins to hang everyone. Now, his excuse for killing them is precisely the fact that they did not help the others.
- In conclusion, the poem is a fierce critique against violence, injustice, and inertia.
