The above sentence makes a reference to The Covenant of the Rainbow which states that God will never again let the floodwaters kill all living creatures; never again He will send a flood to destroy the earth.
In this biblical allusion, God uses the rainbow as a sign of his promise never again to destroy all life on Earth.

Explain what the blank pages in Sirian's book signify. Use evidence from the text to support your position. Your answer should b
Nezavi [6.7K]

The Sirian's book was supposed to be written by Micromegas, an inhabitant of a distant planet who was visiting the Earth with a creature he had met in Saturn. He promised the humans of Earth that he would hand them a miniature volume for their convenience, that would contain the nature of everything, so that nobody would have to debate about the ideas of different philosophers anymore.  

However, when the book was opened in the Academy of Science in Paris, the secretary noticed the pages were blank.

This can be interpreted in different ways, as Micromegas was able to make different comparisons in his journey. First, with his Saturnian companion, and then with the small humans of Earth. He had a lot of knowledge, but was also open to learn new things. In the end, he understood that there was more to proportion than size and distance.

After circumnavigating the planet in 36 hours, and listening to the people in the ship, he learned about humanity's ignorance, wars and injustice. He noticed they liked to quote different philosophers, without necessarily understanding what they meant. Most likely, he decided to leave Earthlings to evolve at their own pace, with their own singularities rather than showing them a wisdom of ages that was not theirs.

The blank pages may mean that he wanted humanity to write their own philosophy instead of exposing them to the knowledge of a different planet which was completely different in size, age and wisdom. Having seen human nature with his magnifying glass, the gift of knowledge could be used for evil purposes rather than to their benefit. Last of all, life is complex and no book could be written about humans, except than by humans themselves.

What does the event with mr.radley and his shotgun show us about racism in maycomb
sesenic [268]

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 <em>black man </em>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 <em>black man </em>as an intruder brings forth the theme of racism in the novel and also reveals that people in Maycomb were overtly racist.
