Answer:
Dear Catherine,
Good morning from Austin, Texas! School started today and I am starting to like this very much. Part of this is due to my amazing teacher. She's nice and sweet but teaches, well, stopping to keep all students on the same track. I feel as though we can talk about anything with her as well. I was talking about something totally random during class and she seemed understanding, even connecting it back to the main topic. I am so blessed to have gotten such an amazing, dedicated teacher.
Miss you,
Amy

Explanation:
Mr. Cunningham, a hard-working man who struggles each day to feed his family without using government assistance, typically leads a good life. However, he is one of the men that shows up at the jail, with violent intents towards Tom Robinson. He is one of many men from the town, who, if you see them in their everyday lives, seem normal, kind and decent. They are upstanding citizens. The "blind spots" that Atticus refers to is the fact that Mr. Cunningham, like many of the men with him, is blind to the fact that black people are their equals. They are racist, and their racism makes them blind to any sort of rational thought when it comes to black people. The blind spots that Mr. Cunningham has, leads him to the jail, to enact violence upon an innocent black man, just because he is black. Cunningham would never do this to a white man--he is blind to white man's cruelty, and overly sensitive to any possible scandal involving a black man. So, these men, who live normal lives of decency, turn into irrational violent men when it comes to race.
Atticus is different because he does not have these blind spots--he tends to see people based upon the "content of their characters," not upon the color of their skins, or the social circles that they fit into. He knows Tom is innocent, and so will protect and defend him--it doesn't matter if he's black. His blackness does not factor into the equation, whereas for the mob that shows up at the jail, the fact that Tom is black is the ONLY factor in the equation. I hope that those thoughts help--good luck

Answer:
'So' - Coordinating conjunction.
Explanation:
'So' is a conjunction that can be used as both, subordinating, as well as, coordinating conjunction. As a subordinating conjunction, 'so' functions to join two clauses of unequal significance(a dependent clause and an independent clause) to convey the sense/meaning of 'so that'(show purpose). While as a coordinating conjunction, it is employed to link two equal and independent clauses to convey the sense of 'therefore.'
Since the given sentence conveys a sense of 'therefore' as the latter action('being unable to join swim team') was a consequence of the first one('decision of joining volleyball'), 'so' is a <u>coordinating conjunction</u>. Had it shown the purpose in the sense of 'so that', it would have been a subordinating conjunction.
