If you have read chapter 27 of "to kill a mockingbird" whats one word to describe that chapter and what part of chapter 27 shocked or surprised you?

Answers

Answer:

One word to describe this chapter would be revenge/ harassment (one of these if you wanna choose) because Bob Ewell begins to harass different people in the town because he is mad that Atticus took the job that Ewell wanted so this chapter is all about how Ewell takes his anger out on other people who were connected with the case before and holds a grudge against them

Explanation:

One part of the chapter that surprised me was when Bob Ewell attacks Jem and Scout on their way home in the dark. This chapter shocked me because attacking children is a horrible crime with a huge price to pay and for him willing to do that is crazy. (but in the end Boo kills Ewell) I hope this is still helpful.

Appositive can be a combination of short or long words, they generally can be referred to as two nouns by which one identifies or defines the other, therefore they work well together.

What romantic element is present in this excerpt from “Rip Van Winkle”?

In a long ramble of the kind, on a fine autumnal day, Rip had unconsciously scrambled to one of the highest parts of the Kaatskill mountains. Panting and fatigued, he threw himself, late in the afternoon, on a green knoll, covered with mountain herbage, that crowned the brow of a precipice. From an opening between the trees, he could overlook all the lower country for many a mile of rich woodland. He saw at a distance the lordly Hudson, far, far below him, moving on its silent but majestic course, with the reflection of a purple cloud, or the sail of a lagging bark, here and there sleeping on its glassy bosom and at last losing itself in the blue highlands.

A. The emphasis on individual choice
B. The emphasis on human optimism
C. The emphasis on the beauty of Nature
D. The emphasis on the importance of society
E. The emphasis on scientific discovery

Answers

Answer:

The romantic element present in this excerpt from "Rip Van Winkle" is B. The emphasis on the beauty of Nature.

Explanation:

From the excerpt, Rip is described to have climbed one of the highest parts of the Kaatskill mountains , thrown himself on the floor and sit down to observe the beauty of nature.

Right from the mountain, the green knoll is described, the rich woodland of the lower country, the purple cloud, and the blue highlands are all wonders of nature that Rip was admiring in the excerpt before he fell asleep there.

Romanticism is a genre of literary writing that emphasized the individual, nature, and emotions. The romantic element that is present in this excerpt is;

C. The emphasis on the beauty of Nature

As explained above, romanticism stressed love for nature. This is reflected in Rip Van Winkle's admiration for nature.

He admired the Hudson River from the Catskills Mountain. The adjectives that were used to describe this river (lordly, majestic, etc) demonstrate love for nature.

Therefore, option C is correct.

How is the central idea developed in the text, "Don't Hate on the Trait"? Follow ACE and provide an explanation as to how the answer connects to your evidence.

Answers

Answer:

The central idea of the text is developed around the concept of "construction".

Explanation:

The text talks about how human beings are built, both in biological and behavioral ways. For this, the text creates an environment where it relates the construction of the human being with the construction of residences and shows how different factors allow residences to be built, so that human beings are built. After presenting this concept, the text describes how we are constituted physically and biologically by our genes and how it is immutable and does not depend on our will.

The text also shows how we are built psychologically and behaviorally by the environment in which we live. This construction, however, is changeable, since we can modify the environment in which we operate, as well as our personality.
