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

Vikentia [17]2 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.

Is Emily Dickinson a paradox herself? Why or Why not?​
Alik [6]

Answer:

Emily Dickinson has often been called a paradoxical poet, or a poet of paradox. The word ‘paradox’ is

employed frequently to refer to the enigmatical aspects of Dickinson’s work or of her life. Dickinson

wrote almost 1800 poems and numerous letters. In Johnson’s edition there are over 1000 letters

addressed to more than 100 recipients, and this is only a small part of the correspondence she

maintained. Dickinson’s correspondence is an important source of information for scholars writing

on the life or personality of the poet. But in spite of the great number of poems and letters she

wrote, Dickinson still eludes us. Somehow we do not really get to know who she was, how she lived

or what her motives were for writing as she did. There is a paradox in knowing so much about her,

and yet so little, but the paradox we find in her poems is of a quite different nature.

In Paradoxes Their Roots, Range and Resolution Nicholas Rescher says: “A paradox is literally a

contention or group of contentions that is incredible – beyond belief. … One must distinguish

between logical and rhetorical paradoxes. The former type is a communicative predicament – a

conflict of what is asserted, accepted of believed. The latter is a rhetorical trope – an anomalous

juxtaposition of incongruous ideas for the sake of striking exposition or unexpected insight.” (3-4)

A paradox is first of all a phenomenon within logic. Generally a paradox arises when premises that

are all plausible but mutually inconsistent entail a conclusion which is also plausible. We have a

plurality of theses, each individually plausible in the circumstances, but collectively inconsistent.

Every member of the group stakes a claim that we would be minded to accept if such acceptance

were unproblematic. But when all these claims are conjoined, a logical contradiction ensues. (4-7)

Paradoxes are often posed as a kind of riddle. Assuming that of two contradictory statements only

one can be true, the riddle can (and should) be solved.

Which one of these lines uses iambic pentameter?
Anastasy [175]
<span>d.i think that john is looking glum to me?

To tell if a line is written in iambic pentameter, you need to count the syllables and then determine the rhythm of stressed and unstressed syllables. This sentence has 10 syllables, which is the requirement. The 10 syllables are comprised of 5 "iambs" which are sets of two syllables that alternate unstressed, stressed. Since this is the case with this line, it is iambic pentameter.</span>
