Answer:
A. The speaker mentions Hamlet to show how he comes to terms with indecision and makes a stand.
Explanation:
In this stanza, the speaker compares himself to the characters in <em>Hamlet</em>. He tells us that he is not Prince Hamlet, who eventually overcomes his indecision and makes a stand. Instead, he is an "attendant." He is only useful to move the story along ("<em>To swell a progress, start a scene or two,"</em>) and is too careful and mild to be exciting in the way Hamlet is (<em>"Politic, cautious, and meticulous; Full of high sentence, but a bit obtuse;</em>"), so much so that he can end up looking like "the Fool." The poem makes an allusion to Hamlet, as an allusion is an indirect reference to a work, place, event, person or idea from an unrelated context.
They employ figurative language like how the tall American trees appear with humans' actions or comparing torillas as soul in the first paragraph.

- Why does Mayella Ewell accuse Tom Robinson of beating her?-
Let's go through all of the answer choices to see which one is correct.
A) Because she wants to blackmail Tom's family.
(A) is incorrect because Mayella never mentioned anything about Tom's family, & blackmailing them wouldn't exactly do anything, because remember, Tom's family is black while Mayella's family is white.
B) Because she is ashamed of her own actions and afraid of her father.
(B) is correct because Mayella herself went up and approached Tom. Now remember, in this time-period, black people could not be in relationships with white people, so you would be an outcast if you ever married or had any sexual relations with the opposite color. Her father is also an alcoholic, and is known throughout town for always yelling and being drunk. So, Mayella would most-likely be scared of him, because she is the eldest of 7 children.
C) Because she wants attention from the townspeople.
(C) is incorrect because if I were Mayella, I would never want the townspeople to pay attention to my family, because the Ewell's were dirt-poor & lived by the town dump. Mayella is not the one who wants attention from the townspeople, her father is.
D) Because he did beat her.
(D) is incorrect because the evidence showed that a man who had the use of BOTH arms, and who had a dominant left hand, was the one that beat her. Tom only has the use of one hand, because his left hand was hurt when he was younger when he was using a cotton gin. However, Bob Ewell has access to both hands and has a dominant left hand, so that shows that Tom did not beat Mayella, Bob Ewell did.
So, once again, your answer is B) Because she is ashamed of her own actions and afraid of her father.
~Hope I helped, Gary!~
Memoir and a Biography are two concepts are sounds very close in their meaning but they are not.
For example a Memoir is usually a text about the life of a person wrote by the person himself. It is focused on a particular incident or experience.
By the other hand, a Biography is focused to express chronological event from the life of a person but without detail on specific experience.
