This question refers to the book <em>To Kill a Mockingbird</em> by Harper Lee.

In this part of the book, Tom is being questioned about his intentions with Mayella. People struggle to understand why Tom might have helped her, if he was not expecting anything from her. Tom tells the jury that he helped Mayella because he felt sorry for her.

This is a terrible feeling to have in Maycomb, and it makes the audience furious. Tom is a black man, while Mayella is a white woman. The people of Maycomb, for the most part, subscribe to the idea that white people are superior to black people. If Tom feels sorry for Mayella, this means that he feels superior, in some way, to a white person. To the people of Maycomb, this is an unforgivable display of arrogance. It is likely that they believe that, if such way of thinking became common, black people might start thinking of themselves of equal, or even superior, to white people, bringing the social order of the town into chaos.

How does reading the Proclamation most affect Hagop? In Excerpt from my mother's voice: The Proclamation ​
GREYUIT [131]

Answer:

A: It shocks him and makes him feel unsure about the future .

Explanation:

In Kay Mouradian's short story "Excerpt From My Mother's Voice: The Proclamation", the narrator tells the story of a man named Hagop Minishian and his family. Though it presents just a single scene where he was playing a game of backgammon with a friend, the coming of the proclamation led to the sudden shift in the atmosphere of the characters involved.

While playing the game and also reminiscing about his youngest daughter Flora's birth and life, the horseback riding Turkish soldier came and nailed a paper proclaiming the 'arrest/ surrender' of Armenians. This proclamation was read by everyone in the square, including <em><u>Hagop who was greatly shocked at the order and makes him feel unsure about what the future will hold for them.</u></em>

Read the scenario.
bekas [8.4K]

A code of Ethics is the framework of rules and regulations, almost the guideline, that an institution, or organization, may have, to help its members or workers choose the correct actions to take when facing a dilemma or a problem, in accordance with the principles and the mission and vision of the institution or organization. Although mostly seen in organization, there are also codes of ethics that are personal and these help an individual decide the right way to act in difficult situations. In the case of this scenario, there is a huge problem; the reporter is faced with her relationship to the person being investigated and about who she must report. Because of this familial relationship between reporter and investigated, the reporter should, C, tell the editor-in-chief about her relationship to the pilot, and ask that the story be assigned to another. This is the ethical thing to do because it allows the superior to know that there will be a conflict of interests and a possible bias, whether the reporter wants to or not. It also allows the chief to decide whether the connection between the two will affect the reporter´s abilities or not.

larisa [96]

on most Gothic works, you would most likely find a scary and horrifying setting that makes the readers mood of fright or sadness. For example, the book, "The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde" uses acts of fear and is considered a Gothic work. It was based on a nightmare.Also they have to look scary to the reader. for example zombies are copse who have rotten flesh and don't die. They also have to do smomething scary that might frighten the reader. For example  Dracula he sucks blood out of people at night

Your boss, Jane Smith, has suggested changing the time off policy to allow employees to use their 15 days in any way they want,

Dear Ms. Smith,

I have read your new proposal for the workers' free days policy. After analyzing it, I consider that the extension and freedom in the use of our free days is excellent. Many times we get sick and decide to stay at home resting but then we have to do many medical procedures to prove our illness on the days we did not attend, with the new policy, workers should not be worry about getting medical notes when they are sick, this is really an advantage because it will allow us to rest peacefully.

About taking two consecutive days off is a great idea, many times the workers want to take a couple of days off to make small trips or to do some personal matters but we are embarrassed to ask for two days of rest in a row, so we prefer to wait until the weekend or wait until it is vacation time.

Although the proposal is very beneficial for the workers I think it is necessary to create some regulation parameters. For example, no more than three workers from the same department should take their two consecutive days off the same day as this can be counterproductive and generate a workload on other workers.

Also, although workers have the freedom to take a personal or sick day it is necessary to inform the head of the department as soon as possible in case there is any work that must be completed that same day, in this way the work that worker should do that day do not delay the work of others.

In conclusion, I believe that the new time off policy for workers is excellent and can improve the work performance of workers if it isregulated correctly. I hope that my answer will be useful to help you establish this new policy.


Best regards,
