"Such occasions arise in the life of the man who is a pure seeker after truth and who would seek to serve the humanity and his c

ountry to the best of his lights without fear or hypocrisy. For the last fifty years I have known no other way. I have been a humble servant of humanity and have rendered on more than one occasion such services as I could to the Empire, and here let me say without fear of challenge that throughout my career never have I asked for any personal favor. I have enjoyed the privilege of friendship as I enjoy it today with Lord Linlithgow. It is a friendship which has outgrown official relationship."

Scout fought Walter Cunningham because *
kiruha [24]

Answer: Scout fought Walter Cunningham because she blamed him for being punished on the first day of school.

Explanation:

Jean Louse Finch, known under the nickname "Scout", is a young girl, and a character from Harper Lee's novel, <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em>.

At the beginning of <em>Chapter 3</em>, it is the first day of school, and the teacher criticizes Scout's father for teaching her how to read. Scout is upset by the teacher's criticism, but the situation becomes even worse later, when the teacher offers Walter Cunningham money for lunch. Scout, aware of the financial situation of the Cunningham family, explains to the teacher that Walter never borrows money, because he cannot pay back. As a result of Scout's behavior (which the teacher considers inappropriate), Scout is punished and her hand is smacked. Scout, clearly angry and frustrated, blames Walter for her bad day, and decides to "rub his nose in the dirt."

Read the excerpt. From “The Lake Isle of Innisfree” by William Butler Yeats I will arise and go now, for always night and day I
romanna [79]

Answer:

The dreariness of the speaker’s life away from Innisfree.

Explanation:

The lines 'While I stand on the roadway, or on the pavements grey, I hear it in the deep heart’s core' refer to a feeling of closeness to and remembrance of a place dear to the speaker’s heart. There is an implicit sense of removal, of physical distance, contrasted to an emotional proximity.

So we know it reflects his life away from the idyllic Innisfree. Futhermore, the general tone of the phrase, the depiction of the pavements' colour (rather a dull one), appear to suggest a certain general dreariness.
