According to the text, prejudice can cause very serious injustices. That's because prejudice led to pre-established opinions, which promoted actions that were very harmful to the Scottsboro Boys from boarding the train to the final judgment.

We can arrive at this answer because:

  • The Scottsboro Boys were a group of black boys who were accused of abusing two white women when they boarded a train.
  • They were soon arrested and everyone believed they were guilty even before the trial was held.
  • This happened because, from the moment they boarded the train, people were sure that they would commit a crime. This certainty was justified by the fact that they were black.

Even during the trial, everyone already had an opinion about the boys' guilt, because of the color of their skin, even though there was no evidence that they were guilty and there was plenty of evidence that they were innocent. This showed how prejudice and racism are capable of causing very serious injustice.

This question is about "The Scottsboro Boys."

To Kill a Mockingbird: Chapters One – Seven Short-Answer Response
Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Calpurnia is more than a housekeeper and cook. She is part of the family. She is a teacher to Scout and Jem. She is a caring but strict disciplinarian. Calpurnia treats Scout and Jem as she would her own children

Explanation:

Atticus trusts Calpurnia. He supports her and gives her the authority she needs to discipline the children. When Scout is upset with Calpurnia for correcting her manners concerning the Cunningham boy, Atticus sides with Calpurnia. He knows that Calpurnia loves Scout and Jem as she would her very own children. This shows that Atticus is not prejudiced in any way. Also, his children do not judge Calpurnia based on her skin color.

Match the quotes with the literary devices they use.
jenyasd209 [6]

The matching of the quotes is as follows:

"O miserable abundance, O beggarly riches!" – John Donne

This quote uses oxymoron, since it is using words that cancel each other out. These words being miserable abundance and begarly riches, together seem contradictory but it does describe correctly.

"What a pity that youth must be wasted on the young." – George Bernard Shaw

This one shows a paradox where it states that young people waste their youth. Makes you think about how a young person would waste their youth still being young.

"I can resist anything but temptation." – Oscar Wilde

This one shows paradox, since it is more than a couple of words, that are describing an action that is contradicting itself. In this case resisting anything but temptation.

"How is it possible to have a civil war?" – George Carlin

This one shows an o 2 oxymoron, since it consts of 2 words that are contradicting eachother. Making us ask ourselves, "How can there be a war that is civil?"

What is the connection between the civil rights movement and World War II?
svlad2 [7]

They are connected because the fight against fascism during World War II delivered to the forefront the contradictions between America's ideals of democracy and equality and its treatment of racial minorities. Throughout the war, the NAACP and alternative civil rights organizations worked to end discrimination within the military.
