What does scout reveal about her family in the first few pages of to kill a mockingbird?

Alika [10]

<span>The chapter opens with the introduction of the narrator, Scout (Jean Louise) Finch, her older brother Jem (Jeremy), and their friend and neighbor, Dill (Charles Baker Harris). Next, Lee provides an overview of Finch family history. Their ancestor, a Methodist named Simon Finch, fled British persecution and eventually settled in Alabama, where he trapped animals for fur and practiced medicine. Having bought several slaves, he established a largely self-sufficient homestead and farm, Finch's Landing, near Saint Stephens. The family lost its wealth in the Civil War. Scout's father, Atticus Finch, studied law in Montgomery while supporting his brother, John "Jack" Hale Finch, who was in medical school in Boston. Their sister Alexandra remained at Finch's Landing. Atticus began his law practice in Maycomb, the county seat of Maycomb County, where his "office in the courthouse contained little more than a hat rack, a spittoon, a checkerboard, and an unsullied Code of Alabama." His first case entailed defending two men who refused to plead guilty for second-degree murder. They instead pled not guilty for first-degree murder, and were hanged, marking "probably the beginning of my father's profound distaste for criminal law."</span>

in chapter 26, Jaggers meets pip’s mates,startop and drummle, for the first time. Analyze jagger’s reaction to startop, and comp

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

Pip stands in the office of his guardian, Mr. Jaggers, who also serves as a criminal lawyer. At the moment, Mr. Jaggers is in the wash closet, or bathroom, scrubbing his hands - as if to scour away any germs left behind by his clients.

When Mr Jaggers finishes, he returns to the room where Pip is and asks him and his friends to be his dinner guests the following night. Having spent the previous night with Mr Jaggers's clerk, John Wemmick, and having been told to expect this invitation, Pip readily accepts.

Mr Jaggers's Home

Along with his friends Herbert, Drummle, and Startop, whom Mr Jaggers has also invited, Pip arrives for dinner the following evening. Mr. Jaggers's house is grand but in disrepair: the paint is old and the windows are covered with dirt. Still, it is a functional house. None of the objects appears to be simply decorative; all seem to be used for practical purposes - like the sensible lighting fixtures and law books on the shelves. Unlike his possessions, many of the rooms in his house go unused, as Mr. Jaggers explains to Pip and his friends.

One of these friends, Drummle, who lives in the same house as Pip, especially interests Mr. Jaggers. Pip's guardian refers to him as 'the spider' because he is a 'blotchy, sprawly, sulky fellow.' Far from being repelled by Drummle's sinister appearance, Mr. Jaggers explains to Pip that he is drawn to Drummle's looks and begins a conversation with him as they sit down for dinner.

The Housekeeper

Once seated, they are served by a housekeeper named Molly, whose appearance Pip finds unsettling. Although middle-aged, the housekeeper looks younger than she is, as Pip observes while she moves agilely around the room. Her complexion is very light, her eyes quite big, and her hair especially long and thick. Her face has a mysterious, 'fiery air' that reminds Pip of something emanating from a pot belonging to the witches in a production of Macbeth he has recently seen.

As she brings dish after dish, Pip notices how steadfastly she watches Mr. Jaggers, as though worried he might find something to criticize. He doesn't. Instead, Mr. Jaggers and his guests enjoy a pleasant dinner. As the wine flows, Drummle becomes outspoken. He tells Mr. Jaggers that he is stronger than Pip, Herbert, and Startop, flexing his muscles to demonstrate his superiority, a display his companions then mimic.

A moment later, as the housekeeper reaches down to remove a plate from the table, Mr. Jaggers grabs her hand. He asks her to show her other wrist, the one she hides behind her back, to his guests. The housekeeper protests but finally gives in; her other wrist is severely scarred. Showing it off to his guests, Mr. Jaggers marvels at the strength she has in her wrists, which, Mr. Jaggers states, are stronger than any other person's.

Which sentence contains an underlined independent clause (parentheses are underlines) PLS HURRY

WINSTONCH [101]

The sentence that contains an independent clause is option B) “Norman now has a job at the high school”.

Independent clauses have meaning by themselves and don’t need other words. They have a subject and predicate as a simple sentence.

Option A) is not correct since the clause is incomplete; the part “at the high school” is an adverbial phrase of place that adds meaning to the independent clause.

Option C) is incorrect as the clause “though he is hoping to find work with the country” does not have meaning by itself and needs additional information.

Option D) is also incorrect since the phrase “to find work with the country” is a prepositional clause that modifies the verb “hope”.
