What is Jem trying to get Atticus to understand when Scout comes home with the mysterious blanket over her shoulder's?[Jem] began pouring out our...

Jem is somewhat in shock by the events of the evening and
seeing the house burn and their own roof beginning to smoke from the heat of the
blaze.

He is totally amazed that he "missed" Boo Radley
putting a blanket around Scout because he was supposed to be watching out for his little
sister.

When his father, Atticus, told him to get wrapping
paper for the blanket to be returned to Mr. Nathan Radley, Jem was worried that this
would be held against Boo in a negative way.  Jem confessed all of his pranks in order
to protect Boo from Nathan's attempts to keep him away from the
public.

Atticus decided to make no mention of the blanket
incident.

The critical appreciation of Robert Browning's Fra Lippo Lippi

Fra Lippo Lippi as a poem in which Browning is thinking
about the relationship between art and life. Browning explores this theme in other poems
such as 'Andrea del Sarto' as he was much influenced by his time living in Italy. He
also often set his poems in the past, particularly when Venice was ruled as a city state
and very important.  

The poem is a dramatic monologue in
that the speaker is a historical figure speaking to a silent listener. This form allows
us to hear the thoughts of the speaker and we become aware of his
motivations.

Browning often questions the morality of the
church as it seems that people join it without any real consideration; 'they made a monk
of me'. People also seek shelter there from crimes they have committed; 'fresh from his
murder.'

Another major concern is with Fra Lippo Lippi as
an artist. Browning is considering whether art can ever truly capture life 'Can't I take
breath and try to add life's flash?'

What is the relationship of Atticus with Tom Robinson, his children and Calpurnia in To Kill a Mockingbird? What are the good things of him with...

ATTICUS'
RELATIONSHIPS

Calpurnia. 
Cal had been working for the Finch family for many years, presumably either before his
wife's death or possibly beginning shortly thereafter. Atticus considers Cal a member of
the family, and she serves as a motherly figure for both of the children. He stands up
for Cal when Atticus' sister Alexandra tries to convince him to fire the
housekeeper.

"... I couldn't have got along without her all
these years. She's a faithful member of this family... We still need Cal as much as we
ever did."

Jem
& Scout.  Atticus is not a typical father. As a single parent, he
spends a great deal of time with his children (at least as much as a busy lawyer and
state legislator can), but he also gives them more independence than most children
receive at their age. He trusts that the children will obey him and follow his role
model as they get older. Both children come to admire Atticus even more strongly as the
novel progresses, recognizing his lawyering skills, his humility, and the love that he
garners from his neighbors.

"I just hope that Jem and Scout come to me for
their answers instead of listening to the town. I hope they trust me
enough..."

Tom
Robinson.  Atticus did not want to undertake the defense of Tom Robinson.
He knew defending a black man accused of raping a white woman would only bring trouble
to him and his family. But he defended Tom with a furvor, and following the guilty
verdict, he tried to convince Tom to keep the faith, since Atticus hoped that an appeal
would free him. Atticus stood by at the jail alone against the lynch mob that had come
for Tom, and following his death, Atticus went to tell Tom's wife the bad news
himself.

"And so a quiet, humble respectable Negro
who had the unmitigated temerity to 'feel sorry' for a white woman has had to put his
word against two white people's."

Why doesn't Atticus tell the children about Mrs. Dubose's motives before her death in To Kill a Mockingbird?

Atticus probably felt that Mrs. Dubose's highly private
medical dilemma was none of his children's business. He also may have felt that they
were too young to understand. It is possible that no one else in Maycomb--aside from the
doctor and her housekeeper, Jessie--knew about Mrs. Dubose's morphine addiction or her
desire to kick it. From a professional point of view, Atticus was probably legally bound
to keep such a matter private. He explained to Jem that she had summoned him to make
final preparations for her will, so he was also being paid (unless he performed his tax
for free), and all such matters would have been of a private
nature.

In The Great Gatsby, why does Tom think Gatsby is a bootlegger?

After the first of Gatsby's parties to which they are
invited, it is clear that Tom begins to feel threatened by Gatsby and his lavish wealth.
He makes clear his intention towards the end of Chapter Six to look into Gatbsy and how
he so quickly gained such wealth and prestige. In Chapter Seven, it is clear that he now
has that information, which he uses as part of their argument over Daisy whilst in the
hotel during the blisteringly hot day. Tom says to
Gatsby:

"I've
made a little investigation into your affairs--and I'll carry it further
tomorrow."

Thus it is that
the investigator he has paid has told him precisely how Gatsby has made his wealth, and
it has been by working with Meyer Wolfsheim and buying up lots of drug-stores where they
sell grain alcohol over the counter.

What does Mein Kampf have to do with Jews and dehumanization?

As you probably know, Mein Kampf is
the autobiography of Adolf Hitler and his statement of his political ideas and goals. 
In this book, Hitler talks a lot about his hatred for the Jews.  The words that he uses
in speaking about the Jews tend to portray them as less than human.  Anyone who read his
book and took it seriously would be influenced to hate
Jews.

In the yadvashem.org link below, you can find many
quotes from Mein Kampf that show Hitler's hatred toward the Jews. 
Looking at them, you should be able to see how the book tries to dehumanize the Jews. 
For example, Hitler portrays Jews as evil rapists who "defile" individual women but also
the German nation as a whole.

With satanic joy in his face, the black-haired
Jewish youth lurks in wait for the unsuspecting girl whom he defiles with his blood,
thus stealing her from her people. With every means he tries to destroy the racial
foundations of the people he has set out to subjugate. Just as he himself systematically
ruins women and girls, he does not shrink back from pulling down the blood barriers for
others, even on a large scale.

By saying things like this,
Hitler uses this book as a way to try to make the German people hate Jews like he
did.
