Context clues?

Context clues are using the words around an unknown word to try and get some <u>clues</u> about it (definition, pronunciation).

Answer:

Context clues

Explanation:

When we are reading and find an unusual or unknown word within a text, we can use the surrounding information to help comprehend the meaning of that word, as well as its pronunciation, when we do this, we are using the context clues. There are many types of context clues, for example, to find out the meaning of a word, we can look for synonyms within the sentence or the text that refers to that unknown word, for antonym that may reveal us the meaning of the word by contrast, or for examples related to that word.

In the following example, we can look for synonyms as a context clue to have an idea of what "clandestine" means:

<em>No one will ever discover what they would call "a </em><u><em>clandestine</em></u><em> place", I don't think neither of us would open their mouth after all that we have gone through in here, only the four of us, in our own little </em><u><em>secret</em></u><em> home.</em>

Answer:

Don’t judge a book by its cover:

Atticus’s advice to Scout echoes throughout the novel as we encounter various characters, from Mr. Raymond to Boo Radley and Mayella Ewell. With our world more divided than ever, Atticus’s words remind us to reach out to others, to try and see the world from their perspective before passing judgement.

Fight with your head, not your fists:

There are actually two lessons to be learned here – are we cheating? Firstly, Atticus is teaching Scout that responding to violence with more violence never achieves anything: two wrongs don’t make a right. And secondly, that the only way to stop a bully (or an internet troll) is to let what they say slide over you. Their only aim is to get a reaction, so patience and restraint are your greatest allies.

Courage is not letting the odds stop you:

Can anyone say ‘toxic masculinity’? Thankfully we have Atticus, who is firm in explaining that an act of violence is not an act of courage. Real bravery is facing an impossible challenge and having the determination to keep going because you know it’s the right thing to do. It’s having lost all hope and carrying on anyway. It’s being afraid and not letting that fear stop you.
