1. Both the written and the unwritten laws keep the community and the society together. The written ones that are laws and the unwritten ones that are customs and traditions. To see if the written laws have been broken is what the courts need to establish, and not the unwritten ones.

2. Atticus then claims that no written laws were broken by neither Mayella nor Tom Robinson when they kissed. Mayella, in fact, is the one who broke the unwritten laws and codes and customs of Maycomb when she decided and kissed Tom Robinson. She kissed a black person, and that was her transgression according to society.

3. Because she kissed a black person she felt guilty. Her father would not have such "shame" befall their family and Atticus clearly states that it was her father who has beaten her because she broke the "code". Because of her guilt she decides to hide the fact that she wanted to and did kiss Tom she accused him of r.ape.

In The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd, fields are described as wanton or
tankabanditka [31]

The correct answer is answer D "deadly".

The word <u>wanton</u> refers to a deliberate, malicious or violent action which can very easily be read as deadly or associated with such attribute, specially in the context of the poem.

In "The Nymph's Reply to the Shepherd", death is one of the biggest themes. When the nymph sees the shepherds gifts, <u>she can't help but acknowledge that anything that has mortality eventually rots and ends</u>.


Hope this helps!

It seems that you have missed the necessary options for us to complete this analogy, but hope this one helps. So if thread is to string, therefore, a cask is to barrel. A cask is a <span>large barrel like container made of wood, metal, or plastic, used for storing liquids especially those with alcohol. Hope this answers the question.</span>

Who is the speaker of the poem the parrot in the cage? why does he call himself a twice born child​
zmey [24]

Answer:

A)

On superficial structure level the speaker of the poem " The Parrot in the Cage" is parrot himself. On deep structure level, it is the poet himself  or any modern day human being.

B)

The parrot calls himself twice born because he has seen two completely different lives. He was born free, first in the forest, and he was born caged second time.

Explanation:

On deep structure level the poet is talking about himself or any modern day human being who is caged by his social duties to work and earn more and more. Man has to do things which he does not like, to perform even when he/she is tired.

Two different lives of the caged parrot are before and after being caught in the cage. One when he was totally free in the forests, could eat, drink, chatter, fly and do whatever and whenever he liked. The other life started when he was caged and now can not fly, can not drink cool waters from rivers, can not enjoy fresh and delicious fruits hanging on the forest trees.

These two lives of parrot can also be compared with man's life when he was a child and was free, and as an adult he has been caged by social duties and bound to please his master/boss.

Similarly, we can interpret these two lives as the lives of human beings in old times and in modern times. In old times human being were mostly free and did whatever pleased them, but in modern times, human beings have to work too much to earn more and more to please the society. Man is not man anymore, he has become a machine.
