To say that Tom matures is not to say that he becomes mature in The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (or afterwards).
The first example of Tom’s maturity is when he visits her aunt during his funeral. He realizes that he has hurt her, and he feels bad. For once Tom actually feels empathy for others. He also feels sorry for Huck when he does not seem to have someone to miss him.
This was a new aspect of the thing. His smartness of the morning had seemed to Tom a good joke before, and very ingenious. It merely looked mean and shabby now. He hung his head and could not think of anything to say for a moment. Then he said: “Auntie, I wish I hadn't done it—but I didn't think.” (ch 19, p. 88)
The second example of Tom’s maturity is when he lies to the schoolmaster for Becky Thatcher. When Tom jumps up to claim he was the one who ripped the schoolbook, taking Becky’s punishment, he surprises everyone- even himself!
The school stared in perplexity at this incredible folly. Tom stood a moment, to gather his dismembered faculties; and when he stepped forward to go to his punishment the surprise, the gratitude, the adoration that shone upon him out of poor Becky's eyes seemed pay enough for a hundred floggings. (ch 20, p. 92)
The final example of Tom’s maturity is when he tells the prosecutor about what really happened in the cemetery, despite his fear of Injun Joe. Tom does the right thing, and tells the truth, because his conscience tells him to.
Since Tom's harassed conscience had managed to drive him to the lawyer's house by night and wring a dread tale from lips that had been sealed with the dismalest and most formidable of oaths, Huck's confidence in the human race was well-nigh obliterated.
Dear Gr 12 learner, I bet you've heard the phrase "with great powers comes great responsibilities." This phrase is very true, especially at that moment in life that you are living in, where your greatest power is freedom. My advice to you is that you take advantage of this moment and use the freedom that is offered to you, but don't forget the responsibility that comes with it and that responsibility is to maintain responsible behavior.
Freedom is a privilege held with responsibility. For this, it is important that you understand that there are situations that are not appropriate, beneficial and progressive which you should not get involved in and act responsibly to avoid them, thus maintaining not only your freedom, but your moral and physical integrity , as well as your safety.
Freedom with responsibility is not difficult, it will be necessary for you to stay focused on good things, in addition to maintaining the trust of those who allow you to have access to freedom. In that case, I need to issue a second piece of advice, which is to always ask older and more experienced people about what behavior to adopt in situations that you think might lead you to irresponsibility.
I believe that with this advice you will make very good and uplifting decisions.
It is B. The semicolon should be between everywhere and it's. I.e. "....everywhere;it''s..."
Answer:
He eats food, doesn't he?
Explanation:
Tag questions are used to turn statements into questions. We use them to check the information we think may be true.
They are formed by using an auxiliary verb (e.g.<em> be or have</em>) and a subject pronoun (e.g. <em>I, we, they</em>). The auxiliary verb we will use in this sentence is <em>be</em>, and the pronoun we will use is <em>he, </em>because that is the subject of the original statement.
If the original statement is positive, the tag question is negative, and the other way around. Because the statement <em>He eats food</em> is positive, the tag question will be negative. That's how we will get the question:
<em>He eats food, doesn't he?</em>
