What is the difference between Atticus’ and Aunt Alexandra’s definitions of people who are “trash”?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

Atticus believes "trash' people are those without moral and goodness of the heart whereas Aunt Alexandria defines them as poor people who have no social status.

Explanation:

Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird is a story of the South where there are still some prejudices against black people. The Southern mentality against these people through the eyes of a young girl Scout shows us the life of a Southern state.

Atticus is the father of Jem and Scout who resides in Maycomb, Alabama. He is a lawyer and a very sensible and reasonable man. His decision to defend a black man from being wrongfully convicted shows his own mentality against such people. He shows that every man is an individual and has their own rights, and tries to teach his children the right way of life, as much as he can. Aunt Alexandria, on the other hand, hates black people and still maintains the same mentality of the majority of the people.

The two individuals have a different opinion of people who are "tr<em>a</em>sh". For Atticus, "<em>trash</em>" people are those people who have the wrong or bad personality and have no morals, like the people of Maycomb who think that a black man is bad just because of his skin color. Aunt Alexandria's definition of "<em>trash</em>" people is anyone who is poor and hardly has much social status. For her, social status and appearance matter a lot and don’t really believe in the possibility of goodness and poverty together in a person.

Who or what is most likely an antagonist in Robinson Crusoe?
grigory [225]

Answer:

<em>B.</em><em> The sea and its tides</em>

Explanation:

<em>Robinson Crusoe </em>is a novel written by Daniel Defoe. We follow the story of a man who was shipwrecked on a deserted island. He was trapped there for 28 years with no valid possibilities of sailing away.

Antagonist in a story is a person or a hostile force that stands as opposed to protagonist (the main character), it makes things hard for him and creates a rocky road to the protagonist`s goal, intentionally or unintentionally.

In this novel, the antagonist is the sea and its tides - it was them that caused the shipwreck and disenabled Robinson from getting out of the island and going home.

1. The context of the quote "They're such beautiful shirts," she sobbed, her muffled in the folds. ... In The Great Gatsby, Daisy's reaction to the shirts demonstrates both her regret and her materialism. This moment happens during her first visit to Gatsby's mansion.

They are in Gatsby's Mansion and the shirts symbolize the way Gatsby is trying to impress—to buy—Daisy with his wealth. He believes that his money makes him worthy of her love. ... Of course, the efforts he goes to and the way he throws out all his shirts before her show that wealth will never come effortlessly to him.

2.

•Maybe the shirts being wrinkled and tossed everywhere symbolize how Gatsby felt when Daisy left him because he wasn't rich enough, or how Daisy feels when she's with Tom.

•The shirts being thrown around so carelessly shows that in The Great Gatsby objects that are as simple as a shirt don't matter, regardless of the emotions or memories connected to them. That things like shirts are just another materialistic thing

3. She starts to cry. She realises then that had she waited she could have had both: money and love. Daisy needs financial securiry, which her husband provides. She is materialistic. She gets emotional at the sight of lifeless, yet expensive shirts. She does not cry even when she sees Gatsby again to whom she even refers as an object.

I don't really know if these are right but I hope it helps you
