In to kill a mockingbird, chapter 26 question 1) in her lesson on hitler, miss gates says that “we( american people) don’t believe in persecuting anyone”.what seems odd to the reader about this claim?

I would say her claim is odd because in the whole book the towns pople are showing hostility and anger towards people of color and to atticus when he defends the colored person. So they are being racist and yet miss gates says that they are not showing any signs of persecution when the definition for it is hostility and ill-treatment, especially because of race or political or religious beliefs.

Hope this helps!

1.creeping like a snail is a simile used in this poem and it means the child is going to school unwillingly./a child is unwilling to go to school.

2. man becomes very frail and loses his physical strength when he becomes old, so much that his leggings that used to fit him snugly when he was in his youth are now too loose for him to wear, and that his shank has shrunk so much that this worldly stage is too big for a feeble actor like him. although, 'his youthful hose' just refers to his leggings/pants/ to shrink from danger; to shrink from contact.

3.the words "sans" means "without." it is a french word that is often used in english even today. so he is saying that in the last age of a man, the man is without eyes, taste, or anything else. he also says that this is the "last stage of all" and that it is the stage that ends a man's "history."

hope this !
