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 (:

V. Read and answer the questions (2pts) David Attenborough David Attenborough was voted one of the top ten" heroes of our time"
Rom4ik [11]

1. David Attenborough works longer in television. As we can see in the text above, he worked for 60 years in television programs. Which means that he started working in 1961, if we consider the current year, while Diane Sawyer started working in 1967.

2. By reading the above text, we can see that Diana Sawyer has worked on several types of TV shows. Among them, we can mention: news programs (such as a weather reporter) and talk shows (such as a reporter who interviewed artists and world leaders). Outside of TV, she worked as an advisor at the White House, writing statements for the president.

3. David Attenborough has had a strong vision of environmentalism and wildlife. He was one of the pioneers to present this type of subject on TV and because of that, he was considered a great example for filmmakers and reporters who wanted to address this type of subject. By the way, he was a great example participating in environmental projects and writing books about it. On the other hand, Diane Sawyer is considered a role model, due to her resourcefulness and versatility, as she was a great professional in every field in which she worked. In addition, she managed to be an important woman for the media, when women were not so visible in this sector, being considered one of the most influential women in the world.

4. Diane Sawyer has worked as a writer in addition to working on TV. We can see this in the text above, which shows that she wrote several statements for the president of the republic when she worked as an adviser in the White House. In addition to writing the news so efficiently that she was twice awarded an Emmy.

5. Both made their marks in the world by being people dedicated in their work, to the point of standing out in the area in which they were involved. David Attenborough, became a reference in environmental journalism and wildlife cinematography, while Diane Sawyer became a reference as a dedicated, focused reporter with a great capacity for writing and communication.
