Read the excerpt from chapter 6 of the travels of marco polo. now that i have described the ships in which merchants voyage to and from india, let us change the subject and pass on to india itself. but first i will tell you of many islands that lie towards the east in this ocean at which we have now arrived. we shall begin with an island that is called japan. japan is an island far out at sea to the eastward, some 1,500 miles from the mainland. it is a very big island. the people are fair-complexioned, good-looking, and well-mannered. they are idolaters, wholly independent and exercising no authority over any nation but themselves. which sentence best reflects the author’s subjective perspective on the people of japan? a) the people of japan live 1,500 miles from the mainland. b) the people of japan live on an island. c) the people of japan are good-looking and well-mannered. d) the people of japan exercise no authority over other nations.

The answer is option C: The people of Japan are good-looking and well-mannered.  

Subjective means that it is based on personal feelings, opinions and preferences. In "The Travels of Marco Polo," the narrator's description of the Japanese people is not influenced by representing facts. Actually, the depiction of good-looking and well-mannered individuals is clearly determined by the narrator's particular judgment and perception.

Options A, B and D are incorrect because they are based on objective and defining truths.

to kill a mockingbird basically is about a lawyer who goes against everything in a racist society like at the time of this novel, to defend a black man accused of sexual abuse. in the bible there are cases like that of joseph, who was accused by the woman of potifar, for a crime similar to that of tim robbinson, of that novel (genesis 39: 1-20). at this point we see that god also provides the escape to joseph, who was accused unjustly, but in his time, and through his attitude, his faith was not shaken, and god provided the solution. the perspective of god also written in the bible and not pay evil with evil. (ephesians 4: 32, 1 thessalonians 5: 15, 1 peter 3: 9). atticus, the lawyer, demonstrated during this lee novel, empathy, love of neighbor, understood the situation of this accused man. he went against everything in that society, and stood in favor of that man, for the injustice committed. this shows the empathy, the love taught by christ, in some passages that speak of love and justice in the sermon of the beatitudes (especially verses 6 and 7 of matthew 5).
