Answer:

Bob Ewell perfectly fits the redneck stereotype. He corresponds to the social stereotype of not being educated and being of the working class. He also fits the cultural stereotype of rednecks by demonstrating blatant and base bigotry as well as uncouth comportment (when he is called to testimony). Ewell is also an alcoholic and displays violent tendencies.

This matches the redneck (poor white Southerner) formula to near exactitude.  

Even his name (Bob) and daughter's name (Mayella) seem to fit this image.

Bob Ewell is intended to represent a particular role of prejudice and racism in Southern society. Though it serves as a symbol, his character can be considered more than a mere stereotype... as it says something critical about his society. Societies are complex.

Hope this helps :)

In "My Name," the line "My name is the Mexican records my father plays on Sunday
Lelechka [254]

The correct answer is Metaphor

Explanation:

In the line presented, the author Sandra Cisneros is comparing her name to the Mexican records her father listens; this is likely because her name has an important Mexican influence. Moreover, in terms of figurative or literary devices, this is known as a metaphor because the author is trying to explain the meaning of her name through a comparison between the name and the records. Also, this is not a simile because there is not an explicit word for comparison such as "like", or personification because there are not objects, places, etc. that had been given human traits.

Are the great principles of political freedom and of natural justice, embodied in that Declaration of Independence, extended to
mylen [45]
When referring to 'us' it would be better if you stated the minority or majority.


Anyway, The entire American Government was made to support the white man. There is no such thing as equality or political justice, nor is what remains of it supporting others.




2) It reinforces the idea that the rights given to others are not extended to African Americans


p.s. Maybe write on the margin of the paper (beside the second question): Rights were only given to the white man, thats why in many situations the white women would find themselves in an aliance with the African Americans— it was fueled by a want/need for freedom.

in what way might gerrymandering thwart the purpose of members being elected on a single-member district basis?
Hoochie [10]

Gerrymandering is a process of gaining political advantage. It is achieved by manipulation of electoral using certain tactics. Therefore, gerrymandering can thwart the purpose of single-member district elections because districts will favor one political party over another in this case.

English went through what steps to become the language we know as modern English?
AleksAgata [21]
There are basically two steps  that go in a cycle. Old words from the English language are taken, and they are changed in how they sound and what they mean, making a slang, sometimes slowly sometimes  quickly the  slang terms become excepted as words by society and eventually they become the words being changed. If you think about it the language changes based on what  we find to be the way the popular people talk. In the past it was the rich or the actors/esses in plays that started a change in culture, now it are the musicians and actors/esses. That is what I think about it, there are probably more ways of explaining it, if I even answered that the way you wanted.
