What does the text, To Kill a Mockingbird, suggest to you about the journey to maturity?

English

Vikentia [17]3 years ago

Three examples of Jem showing maturity in To Kill a Mockingbird are when he refuses to leave Atticus with the lynch mob, when he invites Walter Cunningham to their house for lunch, and when he protects Scout from Bob Ewell's attack.

One quote that demonstrates Scout's maturity in To Kill a Mockingbird can found towards the beginning of chapter 28, when she walks past the Radley residence at night. Scout tells Jem, "It is a scary place though, ain't it?... Boo doesn't mean anybody any harm, but I'm right glad you're along" (Lee, 258).

The overall message, or theme, in To Kill a Mockingbird is that every human being deserves to be treated with dignity. In the beginning of the story, we learn that children should be treated with dignity.

She shows growth in her maturity by realizing Boo is a generous man that risked his life to save hers. In chapter 30, Scout provides further evidence of her maturity while showing Boo to the front porch.

Scout loses her innocence in To Kill a Mockingbird when she watches the jury deliver a guilty verdict in the Tom Robinson trial, despite the overwhelming evidence that Robinson is innocent.

Which pair of sentences would be most appropriate to combine using a conjunction? Question 17 options: Grandpa says he was an av
lidiya [134]

The answer is:  

My mother is very tall but my father is even taller.

Conjunctions join clauses, words and phrases and they are usually used to avoid a sequence of short sentences. For example, <em>and, but, </em>and <em>or</em>.

In this case, the most suitable sentences to combine with a conjunction like "but" are the ones whose subjects are related (mother and father) and whose predicates have a similar structure: both describe height and one has a comparative form of the adjective tall, so they can be easily joined.

Read the paragraph. Theodore Roosevelt was the greatest president because as a leader of the Progressive Party, he brought about
vlabodo [156]

Answer:

Order of ideas, tone, and punctuation and phrasing could be revised.

Explanation:

It is known that when giving a presentation or writing an essay, the speaker should convince the public little by little, providing evidence that will support the final hypothesis, in this case, how great Roosevelt was. Due to this, the beginning would be: "Theodore Roosevelt was a great president because..."

Punctuation and phrasing are other issues in the paragraph. Some sentences are too long and carry a lot of information that could be overwhelming for the reader (specially for such a short paragraph.) In example, the phrase "he brought about much-needed social, political, and economic reform" could be written again: "his impact could be seen in almost every aspect of the country, such as in politics, economics, and in society in general."

The first statement could be at the end, like "an equal share of opportunities. Due to this, Roosevelt is the greatest president."

Tone is also important because it seems to be part of an essay or a presentation, so words like "broke up" could be changed for more proper ones.

If an expository writing uses transitions such as for instance, for example, and by way of illustration, the passage most likely
Alexxx [7]

The correct answer is 1: Illustration-example.

Illustrations and examples are introduced by the transition phrases such as "for instance" and "for example". Some other linking words for giving examples are "to illustrate", "namely", and "such as". These linking words do not necessarily have to be at the beginning of the sentence.

Write an essay that answers the question "what was haunting America in the nineteenth century?"
MrRa [10]

Hauting America

In a century of inventions and discoveries, such as Charles Darwin's theory or the implementation of the telegraph, there was a parallel world, another life that was taking place in the USA.

Although the supposedly ghosts which were photographed were proved to be a fake (a smart trick of double images was used to create them), there actually existed unexplained facts connected to the supernatural.

Wandering spirits were seen or heard, or simply felt, by ordinary people while they were leading their ordinary lifes. Sounds of chains, mourns and creepy places began legends that we still keep in our culture.

Haunting America in the nineteenth century was a chain of events that arouse the interest of past beliefs related to life after death. However, above all was the cradle of several literary works and film productions.
