What does harper lee expose in chapter 16?

English

maxonik [38]2 years ago

Answer:

This chapter begins right after the incident with the Cunningham mob.  Atticus brings the two children home, and Jem is eating a heaping helping of breakfast.  Aunt Alexandra is very unhappy that Scout and Jem snuck out.

Children who slipped out at night were a disgrace to the family.

Atticus said he was right glad his disgraces had come along, but Aunty said, "Nonsense, Mr. Underwood was there all the time." (ch 16)

Atticus feels differently about the incident than his sister.  He feels that Scout and Jem got an important lesson about people’s behavior, and he is also happy that Scout was able to talk to Mr. Cunningham and bring him to his senses, deflating a very tense situation.

The trial has brought many conflicts to the Finch household.  Aunt Alexandra has a very rigid view of behavior, especially children's behavior.  She thinks that Atticus exposes his children to too many things they should not see.  It is not as much their sneaking out that bothers her, but their continuous involvement in all of the unsavory aspects of the trial.

Explain what the following figurative language means:
fiasKO [112]

Answer:

The comparison of her smile with 'Mona Lisa' helps visually represent the idea/image of happiness.

Explanation:

Figurative language is characterized as the use of a language(words and phrases) which convey a more powerful and effective meaning beyond their literal meaning. It involves the use of imagery, metaphor, simile, hyperbole, etc. which allows the readers to visualize, associate, or develop other effect in their mind beyond the basic/literal meaning of the words.

In the given sentence, the comparison between 'her smile' and the 'smile of Mona Lisa' represents the 'idea of her happiness.' <em><u>Mona Lisa's smile was enigmatic and ambiguous at the same time and thus, the author suggests the similar idea and leaves it to the readers interpretation and allows them to visualize and associate to it accordingly</u></em>.
