action to the truth of what he says.

Answer:

He means that the justice system works only when each individual juror takes his duty seriously. This means that a juror must use reason and intellect, weigh the evidence objectively, and leave all biases and/or prejudices out of the courtroom.

Atticus's closing speech is found at the end of chapter 20 where he begins by saying that there aren't many complicated facts in this case. What the jury must remember, and what Atticus does not take time to retell for them is first, Mayella was beaten on her right side which signifies that the abuser was left-handed. Mr. Ewell is left-handed and Tom Robinson's left hand is crippled and unable to have hurt anyone. Next, there is no medical evidence showing that Mayella was raped by anyone, let alone by Tom. Finally, there are no secondary witnesses to testify for either side to say who is telling the truth. Therefore, Atticus shifts all of the blame to Mayella Ewell and places the word guilty upon her during his closing arguments. Atticus also blames the South's social and racial boundaries for the situation that the Ewells and Tom Robinson find themselves in that day.

And you can add your personal reaction

wlad13 [49]

Answer:

I played softball for 5 years. When I was younger, I loved to throw the ball around with my papa. When I got older, I tried playing softball and it was fun. I made a lot of new friends playing softball. It was fun to play with kids my age. The first thing we practiced was someone throwing the ball to me and me throwing it back to them. A few times when I practiced at home with my mama, I hurt her hand because I threw it so hard. We also practiced grounder ball which was when someone hit the ball and I had to stop it on the ground.  We also used a pitching machine when I got bigger to help me practice hitting balls at a faster speed. Lastly, I practiced running all of the bases as fast as I could. If I did not practice as I did, I would have never gotten good at playing softball. Even if something comes naturally, you should always practice because no one is perfect.

Hope this helps!

Label all parts of speech for: No way! Ask Gerald to go.
telo118 [61]
Seems like fun.

I can help a little but not all the way, sorry.

I forgot how to label "no way" since it's been five years I last learned this stuff.

Anyways, "ask" is a verb. "Gerald" is a proper noun. The word "to" is a preposition and begins a propositional phase.

Everytime a preposition is used, it has to end with an object of the preposition. In laymen terms, everytime a preposition is used, it will always modify something in the sentence.

The word "to" modifies "go". What does Gerald want to accomplish? He want TO do something. What does he want to do? He wants to go somewhere.

So, "to" is the object of the preposition or what the preposition is modifying. Hopefully, that helps. Good luck!

natali 33 [55]

Dashes are used to add emphasis or change a topic, as they can either give more importance to an idea or just interrup the idea with another one.

Ellipsis is used to remove unwanted parts of a long quotation and is mostly represented by three consecutive periods. It helps omit unnecesary elements within a sentence.

Commas are used to separate clauses, phrases, coordinating adjectives and non-essential words. Commas usually indicate pauses and they are used to separate ideas within a sentence.
