(to kill a mockingbird)choose one paragraph from the novel and explain what effect the sentence construction has. how does it affect the rhythm and musicality of the words? how does the sentence construction reflect the content of what is being written?

I'm going to pick the example given in the text of the section lesson. "Jem shuddered. “Like somebody was readin’ my mind. Like somebody could tell what I was gonna do. Can’t anybody tell what I’m gonna do lest they know me, can they, Scout?". The sentences are all shorter, simple sentences. Simple sentences are commonly used to portray somebody young or somebody anxious. In this case, it's both. Jem uses this sentence structure because the rhythm and musicality of the words were different than that throughout the novel. This helps them stand out. The short sentences also point out to the reader that Jem is anxious and is having trouble putting his thoughts together.

the support that the author, uses in the article facing our fears is a): a definition of the part of the brain called the amygdala.

he takes neuroscientist joseph ledoux's words by telling that by falling to distinguish between evolutionary old systems located in the amygdala and newer systems, centered in the prefrontal cortex, doctors have conflated non conscious threat circuits in the brain with circuits that underlie the conscious experience of fear. that, the author says, "leads ledoux to the jarring conclusion that the amygdala, a decades-old centerpiece of the brain's fear circuit, does not underlie the conscious feeling of fear".

despite this, the author points out in the article that that is a controversial notion and that evidence, in animal and humans, supports the idea that core emotions can exist outside of conscious awareness.
