Answer:

<h3><em><u>Atticus tells Scout this so that she will realize that his choice to defend Tom Robinson is a moral choice.</u></em></h3>

Explanation: Atticus says that there is a case in every lawyer’s career that “affects him personally” (ch 9, p. 100).  His point is that he takes the case seriously because it requires him to make a moral decision.  He has to stand up not just for Tom Robinson, but against the town.  He has to make the choice to do what he thinks is right.

“Simply because we were licked a hundred years before we started is no reason for us not to try to win,” Atticus said.  (ch 9, p. 101)

Atticus is telling Scout this so that she will learn a life lesson.  It is a person’s responsibility to stand up for what he or she believes in.  You need to stand by your choice, if you think it is right, even if it is not the most popular choice.  This is the strongest lesson that Atticus teaches Scout.  He leads by example, showing her that it is important for a person to do the right thing.  This is the only way that racism can be overcome.

It is also significant because "Atticus represents the moral backbone of the town of Maycomb" (enotes, character analysis).  By standing up for what he feels is right, he is showing the town what is right.  Ultimately this does make a difference, because the jury does at least consider Tom Robinson's potential innocence.

hope this helps (:

Hey im Chloe, this is my last day of school &amp; i rlly need a good grade Lol, Can u pls help me? 100 POINTS!!
Artemon [7]

Hey Chloe,

The answer to this question is "It shows that Liam's favorite food is ice cream and nothing stops him from eating it." due to the fact that it does not state anything else about whether he has superpowers or if he is more adventurous then his group. It simply says he is more interested in saving his ice cream hence  the fact that ice cream is his favorite food and nothing will stop him from eating it.

Have a wonderful day

How does kinetic energy affect the stopping distance of a small vehicle compared to a large vehicle?
Vadim26 [7]
Stopping distance is dependent on the initial Kinetic energy (KE), the higher KE, the greater distance needed to stop. Because kinetic energy is equal to one half the total of mass times velocity squared (KE=1/2mv^2), if a large car with greater mass is traveling at the same speed as a small car with less mass, then the large car will have a greater initial KE and therefore requires greater distance to stop than the small car with less KE.
