Answer:

   Atticus was brought up to be racist. He was surrounded by racism from an early age and was taught that black people are somehow inferior to white people. Despite this, he "goes against his raising" by treating African Americans the same as he treats white people; with respect and dignity. This is uncommon for Maycomb, a small town in the South where racism runs rampant. Mrs. Dubose disapproves of Atticus's decision to defend Tom Robinson, claiming he is going against his upbringing.

What sorts of things/ideas are valued in Henry's world? How are his values different from those of his society
dezoksy [38]

Answer:

Henry's world values things like money and communication between people. This is different from what Henry values, because he likes silence, literature and the company itself, giving no importance to interpersonal relationships.

Explanation:

This question is about "Time Enough at Last" where we know the story of Henry, a man who works in a bank and does not find time or silence to read. That's because Henry loves literature, but all the time people hinder him, even in his own home, where his wife tries at all times to talk to him more.

One day a bomb is dropped on Henry's town and kills everyone but him. When he sees that the world has the silence and tranquility that he values so much, he is happy, because he will have all the books in the world to read, without anyone interrupting him. Meanwhile, Henry falls and breaks his glasses, which he cannot see without. There is no one who can prescribe other glasses for Henry, making him unable to read and living in eternal solitude.
