This question is about "Time Enough at Last"
Answer:
The irony is that Bemis was always wishing that there was no one to hinder him from reading.
Explanation:
Henry Bemis is an avid reader, but besides not having much time to read, he is interrupted all the time which hinders his reading. He hates this and has a strong desire to be alone and with plenty of time to read in peace. The ironic is his wish happens and an H-bomb hits his city killing all the inhabitants, except him who was protected by the building where he was.
when he finds himself alone in the world, Henry Bemis is desperate and tries to find a way to die.
Answer:
His yacht was going to Rio.
Answer:
He means that the justice system works only when each individual juror takes his duty seriously. This means that a juror must use reason and intellect, weigh the evidence objectively, and leave all biases and/or prejudices out of the courtroom.
Atticus's closing speech is found at the end of chapter 20 where he begins by saying that there aren't many complicated facts in this case. What the jury must remember, and what Atticus does not take time to retell for them is first, Mayella was beaten on her right side which signifies that the abuser was left-handed. Mr. Ewell is left-handed and Tom Robinson's left hand is crippled and unable to have hurt anyone. Next, there is no medical evidence showing that Mayella was raped by anyone, let alone by Tom. Finally, there are no secondary witnesses to testify for either side to say who is telling the truth. Therefore, Atticus shifts all of the blame to Mayella Ewell and places the word guilty upon her during his closing arguments. Atticus also blames the South's social and racial boundaries for the situation that the Ewells and Tom Robinson find themselves in that day.
