The claim Paine refuted is the claim that Britain should govern American colonies because the colonists are of English descent. If you haven't, read Common Sense. It's an awesome read, and actually isn't too hard to understand, even if you aren't used to reading old English.
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.

Explanation:
Marco Polo was a traveler who traveled from Europe to Asia. At the age of seventeen, Marco left for the voyage to Asia. He is considered as the world's first travel writer. His travelogue contains the details of his journey and of what he saw on his voyage. The "Travels of Marco Polo" is the title of his travelogue. It was originally titled as "The Description of the World". The credibility of his travelogue is doubted as he wrote about such places that were never found to exist.
The purpose of Polo's writing travelogue was to inform his readers about the things and places he went and saw and things that he learned.

Although these three eras differ at some point, they have one similar theme that is about supernatural events. Romanticism and Victorian era often exaggerate and puts more emphasize on this theme while Modernism tries to prove that no such event or things exist. It might not be the expressed the same way but does, it three eras consider this theme common.
In the novel “<em>Nectar in a Sieve</em>” by Kamala Markandaya (1954), one of the main themes is the contrast between the tradition (Part 1) and the modern (Part 2), or the rural life and the city life. While <u>Part 1</u> takes place in an unnamed village in rural India, <u>Part 2</u> takes place in an unnamed major city in urban India. The author used imagery throughout the novel in order to call the reader’s attention. This technique is used <u>to represent objects, actions, and ideas in a way that it appeals to the reader’s physical senses</u>. For example, Markandaya used onomatopoeia together with imagery in the following passage “<em>… a click-clank of stone on stone with intermittent dull explosions</em>”. Water is also an example of imagery in the novel, since the patterns of the rain portray Rukmani’s view of the world and the balance of certainty and uncertainty, the good times and the bad ones. Moreover, water was also an important element in <u>Nathan’s death</u> and <u>for the women</u>.
