1. The detail about Briggs Beall that seems to exaggerate in the story is that he presumes that he stops breathing in the middle of the night, all of a sudden.
James’s mother starts shouting due to a presumption, he thinks it is because of his nonbreathing in the night, and goes to the heights of soaking himself all over with camphor spirit, just so that he may revive himself.
2. The author mentions his three aunts in the story, each having their peculiar habits or beliefs.
- Clarissa Beall somehow held the belief that she would eventually die on South High Street, as most of her life happenings had taken place on this particular street.
- Sarah Shoaf, was fearful that a burglar would somehow spray her room with chloroform and steal her valuables. To avoid being affected by the chemical, she’d stack up all her valuables outside her room with a note to the supposed burglar that this is all she possesses, hence take it and leave.
- Gracie Shoaf, too had a similar phobia of burglar attacking her house, in response to which she would through her footwear in the middle of the night. This she was doing for the last forty years.
3. The author says he is about to share an “incredible” tale that happened to him one night.
4. Aunt Gracie Shoaf, having a phobia of burglar’s entering her house, sets all the footwear that she owns and throws it randomly across the house in the middle of the night so as to scare or shoo them away.
Answer:
Don't think the United States should have life imprisonment without parole for children. otherwise, you throw away their life before they have a chance to live it. The speaker is great again on this issue and I agree with him, because I see this issue in the same way they do.

Answer:
1a. Lines 30-36 show that the man never thought deeply of things. He did not reason beyond the surface of matters and that was why he never thought that the abnormal temperature could be indicative of danger.
1b. These lines are a foreshadowing of the danger or negative consequence the man will face as a result of his inability to use his instincts.
2. (I believe the word should be naturalistic). A naturalistic view of life sees all events in life as natural and not having any spiritual or metaphysical undertones. In lines 5-20, the man had a natural view of the weather condition as being just normal. Also, when the water from the man's mouth became ice, he believed that to be natural and not having any further meaning.
Explanation:
In further explaining how the man regarded 50 degrees below zero, to mean 80 degrees of frost, the author showed that the man did not think deeply about matters. For example, he never reasoned about man's weakness and how fragile he is from his inability to cope with high and very low limits of temperature.
These things never made him think about life and death. These are signs that he might pay dearly for his inability to use his senses.
It would be Two-Bit because he prized his switchblade and would use it whenever he needed to. And near the end, he gives his switchblade to Dally. I hope this helps!
