Answer:

this is correct: The reason why this can happen is because of the transformative journey that Jin Wang is on. At first, Jin Wang is ashamed of being Chinese, and wants to appear as white as possible. Wei-Chen is fully Chinese, and because of this, he is a foil, as he is a character that highlights the characteristics of the protagonist by contrasting them with his own, which are the opposite.

However, as the story progresses, Jin Wang becomes even less similar to Wei-Chen, as he kisses Suzy and as he transforms into Danny. Jin Wang, therefore, not only contrasts with Wei-Chen, but is in open opposition to him. This makes Wei-Chen the antagonist.

Addressed a Question in "To Kill a Mockingbird" How do the townspeople treat Atticus Finch?
Juliette [100K]

Answer:

They respected him. To them, he was an intelligent, morally upright man who represents what a true Christian should be, unaffected by others' opinions.

Explanation:

In Harper Lee's novel "To Kill A Mockingbird", Atticus Finch epitomizes the true personification of what a man should be. He was respected by all, even his own children. He was a lawyer but still unswayed by the opinions of others. He has also been continuously elected in the state legislature, unopposed. This shows just how much respected and truthful he must have been in the community. The cartoon image of Atticus in the newspaper gives the perfect portrait of Atticus, "chained to the desk" with white girls trying to distract him. But he still remained focused only on his work. This shows how devoted he is to his work and a respected person.

But once the case of the black man Tom Robinson sexually assaulting Mayella Ewell, a white girl started, his image changed for the person. He took the role of the lawyer, defending Tom against the false accusation. This made the townspeople question his actions. For them, since Tom was black, he is guilty. The issue of racism is still prevalent during those times so they are still swayed by the popular belief that whatever the issue is involving a colored person, then he's guilty. They started saying things to not only Atticus but even the children. They couldn't understand why he was representing a black man, trying to prove the innocence of a black man in a white majority community.

But after the trial and verdict, the townspeople brought food for them. This is a symbol of showing their respect for the man trying his best to prove the innocence of a man, even though he fails. His work ethics and commitment to the cause of injustice, even if he ends up being hated, shows him as  a person of great character and respect.

What was the eye opening experience that Katniss had years back when she eyed a dandelion at the school yard?
dimulka [17.4K]

Answer:

The eye opening experience that Katniss has, after seeing the Dandelion, is that there is still hope, and that her family has a future, even though her father has died, her mother is in a deep depression and she has a younger sister to feed.  Bear in mind, that her family was starving to death(literally) her father (the source of money in the family) had just died, her mother was deeply depressed and unable to be a mother, so Katniss had to become the responsible adult in the family, even when she was only a teenager.

Specifically, <u>the Dandelion makes Katniss realize that she can go to the woods to collect edible plants (like dandelions) and then she starts hunting and she learns how to use a bow expertly, skill that will saver her life in the hunger games. </u>

Later on, Peeta becomes the symbol of the dandelion. (Spoiler alert) She ends up saying that what she needs in her life is <em>"the dandelion on the spring, the bright yellow that means rebirth instead of destruction,the promise that life can go on no matter how bad our losses". </em>
