Explanation:

The first is that he does not understand the American class system and thinks that mere wealth will gain him acceptance into the old money circles exemplified by East Egg and the Buchanans. In his desire to be accepted into that society and in his inability to realize that he never will be, he is foolish.

When scout introduces walter to her teacher by saying, "miss caroline, he's a cunningham," what does scout assume that miss caro

steposvetlana [31]

By being known as "a Cunningham" and easily recognized by their last name, the citizens of Maycomb know this family fairly well. They lived on farms in the northern part of the county. In the novel, the Cunninghams were known as a rough crowd to hang around with. They gambled, drank whiskey, and would often hang out in a few of the same places (and everyone tried to avoid those places). They were part of the wrong crowd and just bad company to be associated with.

However, the reputation of the Cunningham clan did have some positives. They weren't known to be aggressive or abusive. They were known for never taking favors that they couldn't pay back. While not used to mainstream social life and immersed in their country/farm life, Cunninghams were simple folk who were honest and understood the value of hard work. These characteristics are known to the residents of Maycomb, including Miss Caroline. When Scout introduces Walter to her, Miss Caroline can make some of these assumptions based on the history of the Cunningham family that Walter comes from.

Note that "summarizing" — and specifically, "paraphrasing" — REQUIRE the need for citing sources and using quotation marks when copying direct phrases from a source — and using sources to 1) give appropriate credit when due ; AND: 2) to avoid plagiarism.

In fact, failure to do so is a frequent type of "accidental plagiarism" in the academic community.

Choice: [D]: "eliminate the need for distracting quotation marks."

→ is INCORRECT. Refer to the explanation above. This answer choice is similar to: "Choice: [B]" .

The true purpose of daily telling of dreams

max2010maxim [7]

Since I haven't read the novel, I would say the general purpose of telling dreams is to share your vision or special event that happened in your imagination. The ability to remember dreams is really good, because most people will forget. While you can tell dreams, try see if you can still visualise the dream. Some dreams can be in black and white, and some can be in colour. Dreams have no limit, they take you to your own little world.
