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.

For what does Reverend Parris condemn his niece, Abigail?

Tju [1.3M]

He convicted her of dancing in the forest at night with other girls.

We can arrive at this answer because:

Reverend Parris is a very traditional man who wants to keep his and his family appearances up to society's standards.
This includes keeping to puritanical concepts and moving away from everything that religion deems wrong. That was essential to his reputation.
Dancing in the forest at night was considered incorrect as it referred to pagan cults and activities associated with witchcraft.
For that reason, when Reverend Parris found out that his niece was dancing the night away in the forest, he reprimanded her strongly.

He did this because his niece could be associated with witchcraft and that would cause his reputation to be damaged.

What is the tone for the article "forever young: americas obsession with never growing old"

11111nata11111 [884]

In 2013, Dr. Dale Archer posted an article called “Forever Young: American’s Obsession with Never Growing Old” in which he explains how most Americans are so obsessed with looking or acting young in the 21st Century. Archer is deeply worried about how the advances in technology have negatively influenced the way we perceive ourselves nowadays. In his article, Archer is trying to warn the readers about these changes. He wants us to open our eyes, to be critical thinkers, to understand that technology is altering the way we feel about ourselves and our surroundings. The media, television, video games, magazines, among others, are actually trying to convince us of something that we are not. Archer wants us to understand that being old is part of being a human being. Aging is an intrinsic part of our lives that we cannot ever deny and that we all must confront one day.
