In paragraph three of "Music and the Brain," the author writes that "Scientists believe there is <u>mounting evidence</u> to show that early musical training can improve brain function." The use of mounting evidence is used to show that there is a lot of evidence to show that when someone learns to play an instrument or sing at an early age will have greater brain function. This evidence is noted earlier in paragraph three.

When something "adds to mounting evidence" it means that it is growing rapidly, increasing, or the evidence that already exists is extensive and this new piece of information is added to that already established evidence pile. It supports it further.

In chapter 2 of Don Quixote, what stopped the women from laughing at Quixote in front of the Inn.
Orlov [11]

Answer:

These preliminaries settled, he did not care to put off any longer the execution of his design, urged on to it by the thought of all the world was losing by his delay, seeing what wrongs he intended to right, grievances to redress, injustices to repair, abuses to remove, and duties to discharge. So, without giving notice of his intention to anyone, and without anybody seeing him, one morning before the dawning of the day (which was one of the hottest of the month of July) he donned his suit of armour, mounted Rocinante with his patched-up helmet on, braced his buckler, took his lance, and by the back door of the yard sallied forth upon the plain in the highest contentment and satisfaction at seeing with what ease he had made a beginning with his grand purpose. But scarcely did he find himself upon the open plain, when a terrible thought struck him, one all but enough to make him abandon the enterprise at the very outset. It occurred to him that he had not been dubbed a knight, and that according to the law of chivalry he neither could nor ought to bear arms against any knight; and that even if he had been, still he ought, as a novice knight, to wear white armour, without a device upon the shield until by his prowess he had earned one. These reflections made him waver in his purpose, but his craze being stronger than any reasoning, he made up his mind to have himself dubbed a knight by the first one he came across, following the example of others in the same case, as he had read in the books that brought him to this pass. As for white armour, he resolved, on the first opportunity, to scour his until it was whiter than an ermine; and so comforting himself he pursued his way, taking that which his horse chose, for in this he believed lay the essence of adventures.

To Kill a Mockingbird 3 life lessons Scout learns....? I am writing an essay on 3 life lessons that scout learns through out the
brilliants [131]
1. "Atticus had used every tool available to free men to save Tom Robinson, but in the secret courts of men's hearts Atticus had no case. Tom was a dead man the minute Mayella Ewell opened her mouth and screamed." - Chapter 25

Scout figures out that sometimes bigotry and emotion overpower a supposedly objective justice system.

2. "Atticus was right. One time he said you never really know a man until you stand in his shoes and walk around in them. Just standing on the Radley porch was enough." - Chapter 31

Because of her age and limited knowledge, Scout takes her father's comment literally, musing that she can see the post office on the corner from the Radley porch. But the figural meaning is clear to readers.

3. "I said I would like it very much, which was a lie, but one must lie under certain circumstances and at all times when one can't do anything about them." - Chapter 13

Scout realizes it does no good to point out hurtful truths that cannot be changed.


Sample thesis statements: In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Harper Lee characterizes Atticus as a man who stands for justice above all else. In the novel To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch represents courage in almost every aspect of his life.
