Recipient-Man

In this picture, it shows the monkeys scooping the man's brain and feasting bit by bit, leaving him in great pain. The man appears to be helpless, but only to resign to his fate. Accepting that he got to end his life in such a way.

It happens in a dilapidated alley which is old and dark. In my opinion, the setting is set at a dilapidated alley because it is a ritual or culture of the past.

The way the author took the picture give us a feeling like as if the man was staring at us. Taking a photo at an eye level gave us a feeling as if we are part of photo. Like we were there at that moment witnessing the horrifying event.

The message given to us is that put yourself in others people's shoe, treat them the way you wants to be treat. The ritual is a reverse of human eating monkey brains.

Whats The Message Behind This? ♣Wilson♣ShaoWei♣Shahfiyana♣Atiqah

The picture shows two monkeys eating a human brain.The man is looking at the audience because he wants to capture our attention and get us engaged into the picture.In this picture, the author put it as the actors [two monkeys] were not looking the audience because the author is trying to convey the message on how people are ignoring the cruel action and how uncivilised reality is when in real-life, humans are doing it to the helpless monkeys.

Chapter7

'Ar-r, Miss Maudie can't chew gum -' Jem broke into a grin. 'You know, she can talk pretty sometimes. One time i asked her to have a chew and she said no thanks, that - chewing gum cleaved to her palate and rendered her speechless,' said Jem carefully.

Opinion: Miss Maudie really could not chew gums but chewing gums is actually very easy. She end up having the gums cleaved to her palate somehow shows that she was quite good in this.

Palate is the roof of our mouth. It helps to sperate the oral cavity from nasal cavity.

Chapter8

I did not wonder where Mr Avery gathered his meteorological statistics: they came straight from the Rosetta Stone.

Opinion: Scout somehow really understands Mr Avery very well and from we could also conclude that she learnt alot from reading. At her age she also knew something like th Rosetta Stone.

Rosetta Stone is an ancient Egyptian Artifact. It is use in advancing modern in understanding hieroglyphic writing. The text consist of three transalation in a single passage. It help greatly to human in deciphering many undecipherable hieroglyphic writing.

quote picker chapter 7 and 8 toh shao wei (36)

scout said'As Atticus once advised me to do, I tried to climb into Jem's skin and walk around in it: if I had gone alone to the Radley Place at two in the morning, my funeral would have been held the next afternoon. So I left Jem alone and tried not to bother him.' Page 57

this is one of the example of atticus advise to scout for solving the few conflicts of her life. scout clearly have great respect to her dad and brother,while she is stunningly mature for her age.

'Thank who?' scout asked.
'Boo Radley. You were so busy looking at the fire you didn't know it when he put the blanket around you.'
My stomach turned to water and I nearly threw up when Jem held out the blanket and crept toward me. 'He sneaked out of the house-turn 'round-sneaked up, an' went like this!'" Page 72

scout looked very scared that Boo Radley was near but she is also beginning to realize that the mysterious man is trying to protect and befriend her not like what she have thought. Boo gains the sympathy of Scout and the reader in this passage.

Chapter5

She picked up the limp sprout and squeezed her thumb up its tiny stalk. Microscopic grains oozed out. 'why, one sprig of nut-grass can ruin the whole yard.'

Opinion: Miss Maudie loves her garden alot. She could even notice a nut grass. She even swooped down a tin tube and subjected it to blasts from beneath with a poisonous substance. Miss Maudie was afraid that the nut grass would ruin her yard.

Nut grass is also called nut sedge. It have small nutlike tuber and are often troublesome weeds. It is named nut grass because of it's tuber resemble nuts but it got nothing to do with nuts. Nut grass is called 'the world's worst weed'. It is a tough competitor for nutrients and it's roots release a substance called allelopathic which is harmful to other plants. Weed pulling is not effective for nut grass as the breakage of roots resulted in leaving it's tuber underground. New plant will then emerge quickly. Most of the herbicide have no effect against nut grass tuber and roots but only kill the leaves.

Chapter6

Insect splashing against the screen were Boo Radley's insane fingers picking the wire to pieces; the chinaberry trees were malignant, hovering alive.

Opinion: It made Boo Radley more scary as his chinaberry tree was also described as malignant which was very dangerous. Not only the fruits were poisonous but the whole tree itself was harmful.

Chinaberry tree have rounded crown, measure between 7 to 12 meters in height. It's flower is pale purple and is small. It gives out a nice fragrant. It's fruit is a yellow marble size drupe. It hangs on tree all winterthen gradually wrinkled then turn white. The leaves of Chinaberry trees can grow up to 50 cm long. The leaves have been use as natural insecticide which is use to store with food. It is highly poisonous. It's fruit is also poisonous if eaten in quantity human may result in loss of appetite, vomiting, constipation or diarrhea, bloody faeces, stomach pain and other sypmtoms. It may also lead to death in 24 hours.
