Answer:

The event with Mr. Radley and his gunshot reveals that people in Maycomb were prejudiced and racist.

Explanation:

'To Kill A Mickingbird' is a novel written by Harper Lee. The book centered around the theme of racism.

In Chapter 6, when Dill, Jem and Scoutt tries to peek into Mr. Radley's house, they hear a gunshot in the house. Mr. Radley fired the gun seeing the shadow of a man, perceiving it to be a black man who might have broke into his house to steal collard greens from his garden.

The theme of racism is prevalent in this event as Mr. Radley shots the gun without even thinking twice or looking whose the shadow was. Perceiving that the shadow is of a black man as an intruder brings forth the theme of racism in the novel and also reveals that people in Maycomb were overtly racist.

The athlete goal is to win to medal at all of her competition this season.

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

The athlete's goal is to win medals at all of her competitions this season.

Explanation:

The given sentence has been rewritten by converting each bold word as per its use in the sentence. The word 'athlete' will employ an apostrophe followed by s('s) to show possession of the goal. While the word 'medal' will be converted to the plural 'medals' as there is no indefinite article given to clarify that the athlete is willing to win only one medal. Similary, 'competition' will be converted to plural 'competitions' as signaled by the use of 'all' which signifies plurality. Thus, the first shows possession, and the other two reflect 'more than one.'

Write a minimum 150-word response in which you explain the poet's use of extended metaphor in "Cloud." Be sure to cite examples

Allisa [31]

The poem "The Cloud" by Percy Bysshe Shelley employs an extended metaphor, as it compares a cloud to life throughout the whole poem.

The cloud is meant to stand for the cycle of nature, or the unending cycle of life. Through the many cycles and transformations that the cloud endures, Shelley wants to represent the never ending cycle of birth, death and rebirth that all beings on Earth go through. The poem, therefore, focuses on the mutability of nature as the only constant in the physical world. Moreover, this allows the author to also employ the cloud as a symbol of the many changes that humans undergo throughout their lives.

Which reasons support the claim? Check all that apply. Claim: Our school should hold a recycling drive to help curb the electron

Zepler [3.9K]

"Broken electronics...globe."
"Many electronics....harmful chemicals."
These support the claim because they both address why E-waste is harmful. The cell phone reason is more about people not having them rather than their harm to the ecosystems. Cans, plastic, and paper are not considered E-waste so it doesn't support the claim.

Dear Malcolm,
Houston ain’t that bad but it doesn’t have you. They’re known for BBQ which is too messy and burnt for me but the rodeo is is here. I went yesterday they had a huge carnival! With all kinds of games and oh my god the food, you would’ve died of happiness. Then there were bulls and sheep you could visit but I couldn’t bring myself to watch the bull riders. School starts up next week, wish me luck
Xoxo, Lila
