If scientists made medicine to live forever with no strings attached then maybe I would take it. It depends on who it is handing me it, If it was a bad person then no but if they were good people then maybe, I would only do it if my parents told me to. Did you know Sonnet 65 is by William Shakespeare and is one of several poems that discusses time, aging, and what writing can and cannot do to fight against these forces? Shakespeare's central theme is the opposition between the transitory, delicate nature of beauty and the devastating effect on the beauty of mortality and its principal instrument, time. The opening questions seem rhetorical, indirectly arguing the poet's conviction that beauty is no match for aging and death. Again I wouldn't know what to do if doctors or scientists gave me random medicine then I don't know. I know if the medicine was important then my parents would give it to me not random scientists.

In Chapter 15 of To Kill a Mockingbird, what does it mean in Maycomb when grown men stand outside in the front of the yard?Also
Digiron [165]
Scout, in her mature naivete, states what it means quite succinctly:

In Maycomb, grown men stood outside in the front yard for only two reasons: death and politics. I wondered who had died. Jem and I went to the front door, but Atticus called, "Go back in the house."

The reflects the kind of small-town mentality exhibited throughout the story. Men only call you out into your yard to relay the news of a death, or to express support or disapproval for political candidates and causes. Scout doesn't understand the true nature of the mob appearing (although she will later in the chapter), so she asks "who had died." Atticus clearly does understand, as he orders his children back into the house.

Aunt Alexandra does not directly state her thoughts on Tom's innocence of guilt, but she does express her ideas about Atticus defending him. Scout relates that she heard the end of a conversation between Atticus and Aunt Alexandra, in which Atticus tells her that he's:

". . . in favor of Southern womanhood as much as anybody, but not for preserving polite fiction at the expense of human life," a pronouncement that made me suspect they had been fussing again.

I sought Jem and found him in his room, on the bed deep in thought. "Have they been at it?" I asked.

"Sort of. She won't let him alone about Tom Robinson. She almost said Atticus was disgracin' the family Scout.

Thus, it doesn't really matter to Aunt Alexandra whether or not Tom is innocent, or whether or not he gets a fair trial. All she cares about, as she proves time & time again, is the family name. To her, Atticus' defense of a black man is akin to disgrace for an old, established family like the Finches. Of course, she may truly think Tom deserves a fair trial, but she doesn't want her brother to be the one to ensure he gets it.

Write an advertisement for a product that you are creating. Make up a name for your product. Then, describe your
fomenos
Figure out your product and then explain it how someone would have to explain it to you to persuade you to want to buy it. Use a technique that you hear on the radio or see on TV. (That should help come up with a fallacy.)
