(To Kill a Mockingbird)

English

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.

steposvetlana [31]

The correct answer is B.

This is an example of foreshadowing. This is when the plot gives you details, so in this case the nightmare, that symbolizes a dreadful event will take place sometime later in the story. Foreshadowing is a technique used to hint at something that will transpire in the story and the foreshadowing nearly always appears at the beginning of the story.
