In To Kill A Mocking Brid, how would you characterize the basis of lem and scouts beliefs about boo?
rumors say boo eats squirrels/ cats and looks through peoples windows at night. people also say he stabbed his father wit scissorsexplain why the verb tenses change
write a paragraph (100-150 words) to explain why the verb tenses change in this excerpt.the whiskey they drink that evening (two bottles of it) is important. otherwise, it would be hard to account for what followed. perhaps without it there would never have been a cafe. for the liquor of Miss Amelia has a quality of its own. it is clean and sharp on the tongue, but once down a man it glows inside him for a long time afterward. and that is not all. it is known that if a message is written with lemon juice on a clear sheet of paper there will be no sign of it. but if the paper is held for a moment to the fire then the letters turn brown and the meaning becomes clear. imagine that the whiskey is the fire and that the message is that which is only known in the soul of a man-- then the worth of Miss Amelia's liquor can be understood. things have gone unnoticed, thoughts that have been harboured back in the dark mind, are suddenly recognized and comprehended. A spinner who has though only of the loom, the dinner pail, the bed, and the loom again--this spinner might drink some on a sunday and come across a marsh lily. and in his palm he might hold this flower, and in him might come a sweetness keen as pain.
Which narrative voice is speaking?
write one paragraph, to support your answer, referring to specific examples of structure, tone, and purpose.this opening of the cafe came to an end at midnight. everyone said goodbye to everyone else in a friendly fashion. Miss Amelia shut the front door of her premises, but forgot to bolt it. soon everything--the main street with its three stores, the mill, the houses--all the town in fact--was dark and silent. and so ended three days and nights in which had come an arrival of a stranger, an unholy holiday, and the start of the cafe.
PS. i know this is not to kill a mocking bird, but the real novella, the ballad of the sad cafe, is unrecognized on this site.
