(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.

Answer:

II. With the smallest of hints, a fragile mind can deceive a person.

IV. A child's amusement can have a negative effect on others.

Explanation:

The story, "The Open Window" tells of Vera the niece of Mrs. Sappleton who was obsessed with lying and found pleasure from doing this. She told a false story of the death of Mr. Sappleton and his three in-laws to Mr. Framton who came visiting and who had a fragile mind because of the nervous disorder he suffered. On seeing the supposedly dead people coming back from the view offered by the open window, he fled from the house.

The story shows that what seems to be fun for children might have bad effects on others seeing that this man was not in a healthy mental state. It also shows that a fragile mind can deceive a person, because Mr. Frampton was easily carried away with Vera's lies because of his nervous breakdown.
