If you were to write a story based on the perspective of Boo Radley, how do you think Boo would describe Jem, Scout, and Dill?

Boo Radley's perspective of Jem, Scout, and Dill would more than likely include his views on their rendition of his family's life during their play "One Man's Family," as well as the children's various attempts to make contact with him. Boo would view Jem as the leader of their "gang" because Jem is the tallest and oldest of the bunch.Boo would probably describe Jem as the most courageous because Jem was the first to...

Boo Radley's perspective of Jem, Scout, and Dill would more than likely include his views on their rendition of his family's life during their play "One Man's Family," as well as the children's various attempts to make contact with him. Boo would view Jem as the leader of their "gang" because Jem is the tallest and oldest of the bunch. Boo would probably describe Jem as the most courageous because Jem was the first to touch Boo's house, grab the tire out of the Radley yard, and come back to retrieve his pants after their raid. Arthur Radley would recognize Dill from his short stature and charismatic attitude. Boo would describe Dill as the most curious child in the bunch because Dill is constantly standing by the telephone pole staring at Boo's residence, dreaming of a plan to get him out of the house. Scout would be easily distinguished from the group because of her overalls, and Boo would describe her as his most entertaining neighbor. Boo laughs at Scout after she crashes into his porch, and he probably finds it humorous to watch Scout sprint past his house every day. Arthur also watches Scout's face light up when she retrieves his small gifts from the knothole, and he can sense her positive spirit. Each of the children entertains Boo, and he feels a connection to them because he understands their curiosity.

What is the meaning of "juggling fiends" in Macbeth?

Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a... Macbeth is beginning to realize that the three witches have been deceiving him since he first encountered them. Like jugglers, they have kept changing their forecasts in order create confusion. This is particularly apparent when the Second Apparition they raise in Act IV,   Scene 1 tells him that no man of woman born can overcome him in hand-to-hand battle--and then Macbeth finds himself confronted by the one man he has been avoiding out of a sense of guilt, and that man tells him: Despair thy charm. And let the angel whom thou still hast serve...

In Martel's Life of Pi, how does writing a diary help Pi Patel build on his leadership skills?

At the end of chapter 73, Pi first divulges the fact that he had started a diary after about a week alone at sea. Pi claims that he wrote about "practical stuff" (208) such as what he caught for food, foreseeable problems and solutions, Richard Parker, and reflections about specific events that occurred. In a sense, Pi is the captain of his ship; therefore, he must take responsibility for himself and his crew. He can...

He can do this by writing down events, problems and solutions, and reflections to look back on when confronted with repeated problems. It can ...

Why did Tybalt attack and kill Mercutio instead of Romeo, who he had originally been targeting?

Though Tybalt's quarrel is with Romeo, he begins the momentous duel in Act 3 by fighting with and killing Mercutio instead. Tybalt ultimately attacks Mercutio because the garrulous and hot-headed character insults Tybalt and goads him into a duel to protect Romeo's honor. From the beginning of the encounter in Act 3, Scene 1, it's clear that Mercutio is itching for a fight. For instance, when Tybalt signals that he wants to talk to Mercutio...
