In Harper Lee’s To Kill a Mockingbird, the image of the mockingbird carries great symbolic weight. Based on the following excerpt, what could the mockingbird symbolize?

Mockingbirds don't do one thing but make music for us to enjoy. They don't eat up people's gardens, don't nest in corncribs, they don't do one thing but sing their hearts out for us. That's why it's a sin to kill a mockingbird.

The mockingbird symbolizes the beauty of music because it gives immense pleasure to people through its melodious singing.
The mockingbird symbolizes the softer side of nature, becausunlikemostwild

Answers

Answer 1
Based on this excerpt, the mockingbird symbolizes the softer side of nature, because unlike most wild creatures, it doesn’t harm human habitat.
The mockingbird is used to symbolize innocence - just like the bird is innocent and does nothing to harm others, the young protagonists of the books are kind and innocent, and often suffer because of it. It is a sin to kill someone's innocence, just like it is a sin to kill such a beautiful and harmless bird.
Answer 2

Answer:

The mockingbird symbolizes life that should be preserved for the non material value it provides people through its singing.

Think of the suffix able, meaning able to be. Using the root word port, the prefixes ex- , trans-, or im-, and the suffix -able,

what are two new words that you can make?

Answers

Word 1: Transportable - able to be carried or moved.

Word 2: Exportable - to send or transmit (ideas, institutions, etc.) to another place.
Final answer:

From the root word 'port,' prefixes 'ex-',  'trans-', and 'im-', and the suffix -able, one can form words like 'exportable' and 'transportable.' The word 'exportable' means something can be carried out or shipped, while 'transportable' means something can be transferred from one place to another.

Explanation:

The root word 'port' means to carry. When combined with different prefixes and the suffix -able, we can create new words. The prefixes in question are 'ex-', meaning out of, 'trans-', meaning across or through, and 'im-,' meaning not. Using these definitions, we can create the words 'exportable' and 'transportable'.

'Exportable' combines 'ex-' and 'port,' meaning something can be carried out or shipped to another place. For instance, a piece of furniture made in one country can be described as exportable because it can be shipped out to another. 'Transportable' combines 'trans-' and 'port,' indicating something can be carried across from one place to another. An example would be a movable house. It is transportable since it can be relocated from one piece of land to another.

Read this excerpt from “The Story of the Porter and the Three Ladies” and answer the question.
____________________________________________________________
ONCE upon a time there was a porter in Baghdad who was a bachelor and who would remain unmarried. It came to pass on a certain day, as he stood about the street leaning idly upon his crate, behold, there stood before him an honorable woman in a mantilla of Mosul silk broidered with gold and bordered with brocade. Her walking shoes were also purred with gold, and her hair floated in long plaits. She raised her face veil and, showing two black eyes fringed with jetty lashes, whose glances were soft and languishing and whose perfect beauty was ever blandishing, she accosted the porter and said in the suavest tones and choicest language, "Take up thy crate and follow me."

The porter was so dazzled he could hardly believe that he heard her aright, but he shouldered his basket in hot haste, saying in himself, "O day of good luck! O day of Allah's grace!" and walked after her till she stopped at the door of a house.

c.the new policies adopted by the people in Lagado
d.the feelings of Lord Munodi towards the king of Laputa

Answers

Answer:

c. The new policies adopted by the people in Lagado .

Explanation:

Gulliver visits the Grand Academy of Lagado, the biggest city of Balnibarbi. The researchers there are always taking a shot at tests that Gulliver finds trivial. For example, he meets a man who is endeavoring to extricate daylight from cucumbers. Different tests are attempting to transform fecal matter over into the nourishment it started as, endeavoring to make explosive from ice, and attempting to utilize bugs as weavers of silk. Educators are likewise endeavoring to modify the correspondence of Balnibarbi by getting rid of language.  

Gulliver at that point visits the piece of the Academy assigned for investigations of government. He finds the educators particularly in this wing to be totally insane.

In act II, scene IV, of Macbeth, the audience hears reports of an owl killed by a falcon and of a horse eating another horse. What is the likely significance of these events?
They signal Banquo's and Malcolm's impending doom.
They highlight the disruption of the natural order caused by Macbeth's crime.
They symbolize the internal conflict in Macbeth.
They symbolize the conflict between Macbeth and Lady Macbeth.

Answers

They highlight the disruption of the natural order caused by Macbeth's crime.

When Macbeth killed King Dunken who was the most virtuous king, the whole world lamented for his uncertain death. Everything in the kingdom got disrupted and even the animals and nature seemed to behave in a much different way as they used to. The killing of an owl by a falcon which is a much smaller bird than the eagle symbolizes the murder of King Dunken by Macbeth. The eating of the horse by another horse gives a symbolic meaning about Macbeth’s plan to kill Banquo, who were great friends.

Answer:

They highlight the disruption of the natural order caused by Macbeth's crime.

Explanation:

In Shakespeare's "Macbeth," the fact that an owl is killed by a falcon and that a horse eats another represents the disorder and chaos in the universe after King Duncan is killed by someone he trusts, Macbeth. The reason is that in Elizabethan times there existed the idea of royalty symbolizing the order of nature and the universe. As a result, the circumstances are a sign of something bad to come.

Final answer:

In chapter 15 of 'To Kill a Mockingbird', Atticus uses reason and logic as his 'verbal' weapon when he converses with his neighbors. He employs logical argument, moral persuasion, and respectful dialogue to protect his client Tom Robinson from a hostile mob.

Explanation:

In chapter 15 of To Kill a Mockingbird, Atticus Finch uses reason and logic as his 'verbal' weapon when conversing with his neighbors. During a stressful situation where a mob confronts Atticus in an attempt to lynch Tom Robinson, Atticus remains calm and tries to disarm the hostile situation with his words. He uses logical argument, moral persuasion, and non-confrontational language to protect his client. His 'verbal' weapon is essentially his firm belief in justice, the rule of law, and the respect for the inherent dignity of every person. An example can be seen when instead of directly confronting or arguing, he patiently pushes back against the mob’s intent with a calm dialogue, trying to make them realize the immorality of their act.

Answers

(D) sly would be the right one to pick because they are trying not to get caught so they need to be sneaky

Her sly plan was able to get us through security undetected. Which word best fits the sentence above. Hence, option D is correct.

What is sly?

People are shrewd, cunning, tricky, and wily when you are sly. Being sneaky is lying, though not in the worst sense. Being proficient at lying makes you pretty sly because sly people are skilled at deceiving others. You can get away with stuff if you are sneaky.

When you criticize someone for being sly, you are implying that they are cunning at tricking others and concealing their true sentiments or intentions.

Sly, clever, crafty, wily, tricky, foxy, artistic, slick all refer to achieving or attempting to achieve one's goals using dishonest or sneaky tactics. Sly suggests evasion, lack of sincerity, and aptitude for hiding one's intentions and strategies.

Thus, option D is correct.

Give one piece of evidence that casts suspicion on proctor's feelings for abigail

Answers

I don't know. But his dialogue would probably be a hint. Also the inner thinking that is given.
Final answer:

Evidence of Proctor's feelings for Abigail in 'The Crucible' comes from his admittance of lingering feelings for her and the tension between him and his wife Elizabeth. However, his actions also show guilt and a commitment to his marriage.

Explanation:

In Arthur Miller's play The Crucible, suspicion is cast on Proctor's feelings for Abigail in a few ways. One key piece of evidence comes when Proctor, encountering Abigail alone, admits that he still has feelings for her despite his efforts to forget their affair. This suggestion of lingering emotional ties between Proctor and Abigail heightens the suspicion. Another clue can be found in the tension and conflict that arises between Proctor and his wife Elizabeth, stemming from Elizabeth's knowledge of Proctor's infidelity with Abigail.

However, it is important to note that Proctor's reactions and actions, particularly his determination to expose Abigail's lies, signify his commitment to restoring his relationship with Elizabeth and his guilt about his past actions. Proctor's feelings for Abigail are complex and contentious, coloured by guilt, regret, anger and a lingering affection that fuels much of the play's dramatic conflict.

Describe in a few sentences, why you think artists rarely use symmetrical balance in their work? What are some other ways artists can create a visually appealing composition?

Answers

To put it simply - artists rarely use symmetrical balance in their work because it is boring. When something is perfect, it soon becomes boring to look at. This is why artists generally opt for something weird and unusual, and asymmetric, because it draws your attention to it more easily than symmetry. Other ways artists can create a visually appealing composition is by using complementary colors, for example, or shifting the center of a painting to the sides, or using negative space rather than positive, etc.
