Unlike Atticus and Calpurnia, Harper Lee does not give us a paragraph describing Jem. Instead we must learn about his character through his actions and speech. Sometimes Scout will use a descriptive sentence for her brother's character but mostly the reader learns about him as the story progresses. Many of Jem's statements in the first chapter are written in the imperative mood. For example, he says, "Don't blame me when he gouges your eyes out." By using the imperative mood, Harper Lee shows Jem to be older and seemingly the leader of Dill and Scout. The use of the indicative mood in Jem's dialogue also shows his stubbornness as a leader. When Dill is pressuring him into touching the house of Boo Radley, Jem says, "I'm going...don't hurry me." Even though Jem is worried about what may happen when he touches the house, he stays in control of the situation by using both the indicative and imperative mood in this sentence. Jem is also seen as the protector of Scout. When Jem is hesitant about making Boo Radley come out of the house because he fears for his life, Scout notes, "Besides, Jem had his little sister to think of." It is clear from this sentence, that Jem looks out for Scout which shows that he is a protective, responsible older brother.

Which element of Endgame helps establish the idea of circularity?
LUCKY_DIMON [66]

Answer:

C). Beckett begins with the idea of endings.

Explanation:

'Endgame' by Samuel Beckett works upon the existentialist philosophy and belongs to the 'theater of absurd.' It is often considered as the follow up of Beckett's classic work 'Waiting for Godot.'

As per the question, <u>the play authorizes the idea of circularity as the play begins and ends on the same note i.e. 'intertwining of beginning and end</u>.' It is based upon the key idea of 'hopelessness' and the characters are endlessly waiting for 'nothing' but death. Clove internally feels 'he need to live' and plans of leaving but could not and goes back to the same situation(reflects absurdity and nothingness). Thus, the entire play moves around this very idea and hence, <u>option C</u> is the correct answer.
