How did the Cunninghams react to the verdict?

In Chapter 23 of the novel, readers may infer that the Cunninghams did not agree with the verdict of the trial. In a conversation with Jem, Atticus notes that not all of the jurors wanted to convict Tom Robinson, and there was at least one jury member who wanted an acquittal. Atticus confirms that the jury member was the double first cousin of Walter Cunningham.
In Chapter 15, Atticus had left the house in the evening to sit outside of the jail house to prevent Tom Robinson from being harmed. Curious about where Atticus was going so late at night, Jem, Scout, and Dill follow him, only to find him reading a newspaper. At this point, the Old Sarum mob show up to injure, if not lynch, Tom Robinson. As the mob members close in on Atticus, Scout recognizes one of the men as Mr. Cunningham. She interrupts the men and goes on to ask Mr. Cunningham about how his entailment is going as well as tell him to say "hi" to Walter.
This conversation between Scout and Mr. Cunningham relieves the tension outside of the jail house, and the Old Sarum group leaves. This scene reveals a change of heart and attitude in Mr. Cunningham, whose relative later serves on the jury during the trial.


In chapter 23, Atticus is discussing the trial with Jem and mentions that one of the jurors was arguing for an outright acquittal. When Jem asks who the juror was that voted for an acquittal, Atticus tells him it was a member of the Old Sarum bunch. The Old Sarum bunch consists of members of the Cunningham family, who reside in the northern part of the county.
Jem is shocked to learn that one of the Cunninghams actually does not agree with the verdict and believes that Tom Robinson is innocent. Atticus proceeds to explain to Jem that he earned the Cunningham family's respect that night outside of the jailhouse. Atticus also mentions that if there were another member of the Cunningham family on the jury, there would have been a deadlocked decision, which would have resulted in a hung jury. Based on Atticus's information, the reader can infer that the Cunninghams were not pleased with the final verdict and believed that Tom Robinson should have been acquitted.

How does Bilbo show leadership and courage in The Hobbit?

Bilbo’s increase in confidence and courage is the defining aspect of his character arc. At the beginning of the novel, he is shut away content in his Hobbit hole, happy to remain separate and coddled from the rest of the world. In the movie, Bilbo chooses to join the dwarves on their quest out of a sense for adventure. In the book, however, Bilbo wants nothing to do with them and only joins because he had been duped into signing a contract. Despite being on the adventure somewhat against his will, Bilbo still proves himself time and again, saving the dwarves from the spiders, the trolls, and a number of other dangers they encounter along the way. Bilbo’s character arc has even been cited as a sort of Christian metaphor for the growth of the soul, though how much Tolkien intended on this front is up for debate. From a thematic standpoint, the ring of invisibility also plays into Bilbo’s brand of bravery. If Hobbits are the overlooked creatures of Middle Earth, then it is noteworthy that...

In “Goodbye to All That,” Joan Didion writes that the “lesson” of her story is that “it is distinctly possible to remain too long at the fair.” What does she mean? How does the final section of the essay portray how she came to this understanding, her feelings about it, and the consequences of it?

In this classic essay, Didion describes moving to New York City from her native Sacramento at the age of twenty-one, and, as she freely admits, a somewhat naive twenty-one, her mind, "programmed by all the movies I had ever seen and all the songs I had ever heard about New York," with the typical feeling, at that age, that, "nothing like this...has ever happened to anyone before." Intending to stay for only six months, she falls in love with the city. As she says, "I do not mean 'love' in any colloquial way, I mean that I was in love with the city the way you love the first person who ever touches you and never love anyone quite that way again." This initial love led her to prolong her residency, since, "I still believed in possibilities then, still had the sense, so peculiar to New York, that something extraordinary would happen any minute, any day, any month." But as the next years roll past, and the "new faces" she encounters...

Why does the poet say "all the men and women merely players"?

It's one of the most famous lines in literature: All the world's a stage,And all the men and women merely players . . . This famous saying comes from Shakespeare's play As You Like It, and it's spoken by Jacques. What he's saying here is that simply going about our daily lives is a type of performance. Just like actors on a stage, we all have roles to perform: Daughter. Student. Sister. Captain of the soccer team. The fact that Shakespeare writes that men and women are merely players suggests that the roles are preordained and that a person's choice in being a mother, for example, or a doctor or starting point guard for the Brooklyn Nets is out of their hands. What roles a person performs over the course of their lifetime is up to fate. The notion that "all the world's a stage" has entered pop culture, but within the context of the play, this idea does not sit well with Jacques. He's a pessimist, and the idea that everything is up to fate makes...
