Give three examples of how the author gives a sense of Jem's character in the first chapter. Discuss the author's use of verb mo
Zarrin [17]
Unlike Atticus and Calpurnia, Harper Lee does not give us a paragraph describing Jem. Instead we must learn about his character through his actions and speech. Sometimes Scout will use a descriptive sentence for her brother's character but mostly the reader learns about him as the story progresses. Many of Jem's statements in the first chapter are written in the imperative mood. For example, he says, "Don't blame me when he gouges your eyes out." By using the imperative mood, Harper Lee shows Jem to be older and seemingly the leader of Dill and Scout. The use of the indicative mood in Jem's dialogue also shows his stubbornness as a leader. When Dill is pressuring him into touching the house of Boo Radley, Jem says, "I'm going...don't hurry me." Even though Jem is worried about what may happen when he touches the house, he stays in control of the situation by using both the indicative and imperative mood in this sentence. Jem is also seen as the protector of Scout. When Jem is hesitant about making Boo Radley come out of the house because he fears for his life, Scout notes, "Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of." It is clear from this sentence, that Jem looks out for Scout which shows that he is a protective, responsible older brother.

B). The author's last name.

E). The page number.

Parenthetical citations are described as the reference or citations to a specific information, quote, or paraphrasing from the text or from some other source.

As per the question, an in-text or parenthetical citation(in MLA format) must need information of the 'author's last name' followed by 'the page number'.

I believe the answer would be ignorance. Many of the cultures were actually very aware of their surroundings, and the world they lived in. Mostly through this interest, ancient cultures were currently finding out new ideas about their world.
