Answer :
The lines 27-44 from the short story "Night Calls" by Lisa Fugard describe the narrator's feelings about her father's response to her new talent.
Marlene had recently discovered her talent for imitating bird and animal calls. Due to this special gift, she had gained popularity and respect from everyone at her boarding school.
When Marlene relates this to her father and offers to mimic the sounds of birds and animals for him, he shakes his head slightly and replies "I've got the real thing right outside my window." Marlene seems to be hurt and slightly upset by his response. However, this is not new for her as she has never received any response or reaction from her father. She is pretty much used to this sort of behavior from him.
Answer:
Jem does not want Atticus to return the blanket so as not to cause problems for Boo.
Explanation:
If Atticus returned the blanket to the family, then Mr. Radley would know that Boo had left to give him the blanket and that would cause her many problems.
Jem doesn't want Boo to be reprimanded for having brought a blanket to warm Scout.
He realizes that <u>Nathan doesn't want Boo to have contact with them</u> because the knothole of the tree was covered with cement.
Finally Atticus says that he will keep the blanket.
The correct answer would be simple details. A compare and contrast essay should not identify simple details. You do not need to identify simplistic details in a compare and contrast essay unless these details convey a deeper meaning. Simple details are just very simple and easily understood and need not to be compared with anything. Such as "dogs and cats are animals".
