Answer: A: Norris wanted to change the date of the inauguration because he believed it was unfair.
Explanation:
Norris considered the long lame-duck period as unfair because it allowed outgoing congress members to sign laws despite a new administration having been elected.
Norris´ initiative was aimed to avoid the lame-duck Congress before the inauguration, not to empower it. The time for a new president to plan before the inauguration was already established before the amendment, and was actually considered too long for that historical time. The date of the inauguration was moved from March 4 to January 20, not to the day after the election, as that wouldn´t be enough even today.
Depends on what’s socially acceptable in that society plus the kind of laws they have in place
<span>The stanza is an example of extended metaphor. It is interesting that the lines are unchanged from the original song from which the melody for “Birmingham Sunday” is taken. In this metaphor, the “men in the forest” seemed awfully concerned about the “black berries.” At the same time, the speaker, “with a tear” in his or her eye, asks about the “dark ships.” Although this stanza can be taken many different ways, I think it is a metaphor for the fear that people feel for things they do not understand. The men in the forest are scared of things they don’t know from the Blue Sea, while the speaker (who seems to be from the Blue Sea based on the question posed) is fearful of the dark ships in the forest. In this way, the extended metaphor is speaking about the fear that races have of each other and the meaninglessness of that fear. Just as the “black berries” or “dark ships” mean nothing to us, race shouldn’t mean anything when evaluating the worth of a person.</span>
Okay, I just looked through one of my old essays that I wrote for the novel, and in it, I listed every issue addressed in the book.
Racism and discrimination is addressed in the book. An example of it is when Tom Robinson went to trial because he was accused of raping a white woman, simply because he was black.
That means A can't be the answer.
Here's a more subtle example of racism. Three blacks had to give up their seats so some children could watch the trial.
I don't recall anything mentioning prison reform in the book, so chances if B being the correct answer is high.
Education was mentioned through out the book. Education in Maycomb was backwards and contradictory, though education was not always based in school.
That means C can't be the answer.
Poverty was a big issue, and was mentioned throughout the book. The Great Depression hit everyone in Maycomb. There were extremely poor families, such as the Ewells and Cunninghams, and other hard working poor African American families.
That means the final answer would be <span>B) Prison reform
Hope your assignment won't be too difficult for you. If you need any help, you can just ask me :)
