Answer: I would contend that the right answer is actually the A) cynical and calculating.  

Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that in this passage from Harper Lee's <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>, the character of Scout is using a cynical and carefully chosen tone in order to describe how women behaved and looked in the town of Maycomb. Specifically, he is comparing them to "soft teacakes with frostings of sweat and talcum." Those words do not sound sad, lonely, childlike, magical, confused or meandering, but visually powerful, mocking, and disenchanted.

I would say childlike and magical because it is not calculating or lonely and it is not confusing

Answer:

       The identity of someone shapes their entire existence. It is formed at the very beginning of one's life by their name, and further molded as they age. People often attempt to change their identity, and doing so leads to disastrous consequences. In the play, "Romeo and Juliet" by mastermind playwright William Shakespeare, such is the case when star-crossed lovers Romeo and Juliet defy their very existence in the name of love. The Characters within the play rebel against their identities, pushing the boundaries and diminishing stereotypes, in order to achieve their desires. When they finally break free from their identity however, conflicts arise.

Explanation:

I didn't have time to finish the rest, but hopefully this helps you get your essay started! I think it is a strong starter, and will captivate.
