Answer:

Smell.

Explanation:

Amy Tan's <em>Two Kinds</em> tells the story of Jing-mei and her life, brought up to be a prodigy of any talent. But the conflict arise from her own want to assert and understand her identity, trying to fit into the American culture while her mother's trying to make her become a <em>"prodigy"</em>.

Old Lady Chong is the mother of Old Chong or Mr. Chong, the piano teacher from the first floor of the apartment building that Jing-mei and her family lives. And she is mentioned just once in the story when Jing-mei went to the piano lesson. She reveals she <em>"met Old Lady Chong once, and that was enough. She had a peculiar smell, like a baby that had done  something in its pants"</em>. Thus, the author uses the sense of smell in describing the old lady's age.

Atticus's summation to the jury is a powerful, brilliant speech. Write a paragraph (at least five sentences) of your personal re
pickupchik [31]

Answer:

He means that the justice system works only when each individual juror takes his duty seriously. This means that a juror must use reason and intellect, weigh the evidence objectively, and leave all biases and/or prejudices out of the courtroom.

Atticus's closing speech is found at the end of chapter 20 where he begins by saying that there aren't many complicated facts in this case. What the jury must remember, and what Atticus does not take time to retell for them is first, Mayella was beaten on her right side which signifies that the abuser was left-handed. Mr. Ewell is left-handed and Tom Robinson's left hand is crippled and unable to have hurt anyone. Next, there is no medical evidence showing that Mayella was raped by anyone, let alone by Tom. Finally, there are no secondary witnesses to testify for either side to say who is telling the truth. Therefore, Atticus shifts all of the blame to Mayella Ewell and places the word guilty upon her during his closing arguments. Atticus also blames the South's social and racial boundaries for the situation that the Ewells and Tom Robinson find themselves in that day.

  • Government drawing of school districts to create mostly Black or mostly white schools.
  • The refusal to rent or sell properties to Black people by white homeowners.
