Answer:

"Fear of white vigilante groups like the KKK" A vigilante is someone who takes part in taking the law into their own hands. If you know about the KKK, then you would understand what a vigilante is.

what is an indirect characterization of mrs walker from the devil and tom walker,for the direct characterization i put she is ab
sineoko [7]
An indirect characterization could be that she is greedy, selfish, and impatient. We can see this in how she goes to the Devil to make a deal with him on her own, rather than waiting for her husband to do it. We can also see this in the fact the story says she keeps things from him, even though they're are married. This could show how she only desires things for herself and doesn't want to share. Hope this helps! :)

padilas [110]

In this excerpt from Act III, Scene I of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet", the two central ideas are Romeo blames falling in love with Juliet as the cause of Mercutio’s death and Romeo blames his own cowardice and refusal to fight as the cause of Mercutio's death. Tybalt calls Romeo a villain. Romeo refuses to fight him because he has just married Juliet in secret. In his place, Mercutio draws his sword and fights Tybalt. Mercutio is stabbed by Tybalt when Romeo places himself between them to stop the fight. Mercutio is badly wounded and dies. Romeo blames himself for he has become "effeminate" because of his love for Juliet, and as a consequence of his cowardice, Mercutio died.
