Answer:
Explanation:
n Harper Lee's To Kill a Mockingbird, the theme of appearance vs. reality is a prevalent one, and Boo is a perfect example of this theme—as is Tom Robinson, at least as far as the townspeople are concerned.
When Atticus decides to defend Tom Robinson for allegedly raping Mayella Ewell, the townspeople are angry. They anticipated that Tom would have a lawyer, but not one that would defend a man that most of them believe raped a white woman. Because Tom is black, he is guilty before he steps into the courtroom—as seen by the lynch mob that shows up at the jail while Atticus sits outside with a light, chair and newspaper. The mob has made up its mind that Tom is guilty, and they do not need a court trial to carry out the sentence they believe he should serve: to be hanged until dead.
"He in there, Mr. Finch?" a man said.
"He is," we heard Atticus answer, "and he's asleep. Don't wake him up."...
"You know what we want," another man said. "Get aside from the door, Mr. Finch."
'Their Eyes were Watching God' by Zora Neale Hurston is a story of a black girl named Janie and her lifetime experiences in realistic situations that are always prone to reflect problems for each one of us.
Explanation:
Hurston starts off the story with a description of how Janie lived with her grandmother until late teens and her ideas, personality and choices are very much based on this essence in her life. Janie being pointed out as a black in a photograph that she clicked with a group of white children makes her feel insecure, less confident and crucial with herself in her twenties.
In relationships, Janie starts to take decisions in a completely unconscious and emotional driven manner leading to sadness and grief later.
After Logan and Jody, Janie married Tea Cake despite knowing his unreasonable, unnecessary acts and habits. His selfishness, jealousy are all accepted by Janie though she suffers because of the same. Later in the story, his sacrifice to save her and dying in front of her, tells readers the main reason for us to understand that he is the right choice that Janie made better than Logan and Jody.
Answer:
Because of the finite speed of light, when you gaze up into the night sky, you are looking into the past. The bright star Sirius is 8.6 light years away. That means the light hitting your eye tonight has been traveling for 8.6 years. ... When you look at that star tonight, you see it as it was at the time of your birth.
