What argument and claims does Darrow make for Leopold and Loeb in this excerpt? Darrow argues that the boys should not be execut

ed for their crime. He claims they were too young to know what they were doing and were filled with illusions and daydreams because they read “bad” books. He argues that Leopold and Loeb have serious mental illnesses and need to be put in a mental hospital, not executed. He claims that the books they read caused the hallucinations both teenagers experienced before they committed their crime. Darrow argues that the boys should not be put to death because they are only teenagers. He claims that teenagers experience such strong emotions that they should not be responsible for what they did during an argument. He explains that Leopold and Loeb both grew up in wealthy homes with parents who ignored or mistreated them. He claims that their difficult childhoods led Leopold and Loeb into a life of crime, which is why they committed the murder.

Answer:

Darrow argues that the boys should not be executed for their crime. He claims they were too young to know what they were doing and were filled with illusions and daydreams because they read <em>“bad”</em> books.

Explanation:

The evidence for this argument is that both Leopold and Loeb are, in Darrow's words,<em> "two minors, two children, who have no right  to sign a note or make a deed."</em> Darrow argues this because Leopold and Loeb were eighteen and nineteen years old at the time of the  homicide.

Answer:

Explanation:

One of the two protagonists of All the Light We Cannot See, Marie-Laure LeBlanc is an inquisitive, intellectually adventurous girl. She became blind at the age of six, but learns to adapt to this and continues to explore and discover. For most of the novel, Marie-Laure is a teenager, but by the end of the novel she’s an old woman. Marie-Laure is a warm, loving girl: at the beginning of the book, she loves her father, Daniel LeBlanc, before anyone else. After 1941, when Daniel leads her to the seaside town of Saint-Malo, she becomes close with her great-uncle, Etienne LeBlanc, and her cook, Madame Manec. Marie-Laure is capable of feats of great daring. With Daniel’s help, she trains herself to walk through large cities using only her cane, and when the conflict between France and Germany escalates, she volunteers to participate in the French resistance. In spite of the joy she gets from reading and exploring, Marie-Laure’s life is full of tragedy: the people she loves most disappear from her life, beginning with her father. As she grows older and becomes a scientist of mollusks, Marie-Laure comes to appreciate the paradox of her life: while she sometimes wants to be as stoic and “closed up” as the clams and whelks she studies, she secretly desires to reconnect with her loved ones.

In the light of ghandis lamp. why does the jailer approach anita years later and ask for coffee?​
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The jailer approached Anita years later and asked for coffee because he wanted to make friends with her and probably, he realized the importance of "human dignity" when he heard her life's story and her singing while in jail.

Explanation:

The "Light of Ghandi's Lamp" is a story about the "apartheids'" struggle against the authorities such as the Police in Johannesburg. The story focuses on the capture of Anita and the narrator's <em>(Anita's brother) </em>thoughts on how she was doing in prison.

The narrator went to the station to know about her sister's condition and to tell them about how good of a person and sister she was. There he met Anita's jailer who looked gentler than what he imagined. Later on, he realized that the jailer actually lied to Anita about many things. He tried to <em>destabilize her emotions </em>but Anita counteracted it by<em> singing songs</em> and <em>talking about her life</em>. With these, Anita and Richard were sent home.
