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 resources did the English seek in their Asian territories? Sugar and cocoa Gold and ivory Oil and rubber Spices and tea
Answer: Principal resources: Tea, Spices, Cotton and Silk.
After several not so successful attempts to make commercial gains into the Asian continent as the principal spice merchants, the Portuguese and the Spanish were doing, the English led by Sir Francis Drake´s Company found a way into the Pacific Ocean through the Magellan Straits. The presence of the other European countries like the Dutch, the tax imposition at the Ottoman ports, and the weather made these moves unimpressive.
It was not until after the Napoleon´s conquest, when the Dutch were subdued and the East Indian Company formed by the British to open up trading routes and contracts into the Southeast Asian continent and India, that the British began to experience profitable growths and expansions primarily into China and India. Their main interests were focused on tea, spices, cotton and silk. From China came the tea while spices, silk and cotton came from South India.
By the 17th century, the cotton produced by Indian weavers and brought into Britain was used to service worldwide demand for the textile for furnishing and clothing industry.
Oedipus the King is a fabulous play, thought to be first played somewhere between<em> 430 - 426 BCE,</em> it is a famous classic tragedy by <em>Sophocles</em>. Oedipus the King is also known as <em>Oedipus Rex</em>, where<em> 'Rex' </em>stands for<em> 'King'</em> in latin.
In this tragedy, there is a point in the second chapter where Oedipus, the king of Thebes has a visit from an old soothsayer. Teiresias is the name of this old soothsayer, who is consulted regarding the plagues that torments the city of Thebes. Oedipus makes fun of Teiresias claims, and he replies that even though he can see, he still remains 'blind' to the truth.
Later on, King Oedipus loses his sight, and becomes blind. Here is where the irony becomes evident, because now King Oedipus realizes what the blind man was trying to say, and that the blind man was the one who truly saw the truth. This is an example of dramatic irony.
