(To Kill a Mockingbird)

Answer:

I do not think that Mr Gilmer's line of questions was in pursuit of truth and justice

Explanation:

Mr Gilmer was the prosecuting lawyer in the case of Tom Robinson, a black African American man who was accused of raping and strangulating a white American lady.

As the prosecuting counsel, Mr Gilmer's responsibility was to prove that Mr Tom Robinson was guilty as charged. However his lines of questioning displayed a very unprofessional, unethical as well as racially inclined personality

He was consistently rude to the accused, calling him a boy even on one occasion.

His racist tendencies was revealed when under pressure Mr Tom Robinson said he felt sorry for Mayella, the white lady who he was accused of raping. Mr Gilmer gleefully took advantage of the situation and asked rhetorically how could a black man feel sorry for a white lady; suggesting that a black person was inferior to a white person and hence, could not be feeling sorry for her unless he had ulterior motives.

Hence I do not think that considering his line of questioning, that he was after true justice.

How do the lines in "the black snake" contribute to the structure of the poem??
kondaur [170]

The person above me is wrong! He or she copied and it does not have any examples! He or she is wrong! Wrong! Here is the CORRECT ANSWER! I TURNED IT IN A GOT 100% PLEASE TRUST ME!

HERE IS THE CORRECT ANSWER!!:

Even though there are no clear stanzas, the poem forms patterns with its lines. There are four sets of four lines each. Each set begins with "Black snake!" In each set of lines, the second line always ends in a comma. The repetition of these small details creates patterns and helps establish rhythm. Also, in each set of lines, the fourth line ends with a period. This tells the reader that this thought is over and that a new idea is beginning. In each set of four lines, the second and fourth line always rhymes.
