Atticus explains to Scout that a mob is always made up of people. He is trying to explain that, although mobs appear to be a large group, perhaps even an intimidating group, they are made up of individuals who can make individual choices to change their actions. This is a message that Atticus has been sending to Scout throughout the book at various points. Every individual has the right to make his or her own choices.
In this particular mob, Mr. Cunningham made an individual choice not to continue to threaten Atticus. His choice influenced the choices of the other men in the group. This is a powerful moment because Mr. Cunningham made this choice based on Scout's innocent actions to begin conversing with him about his son, Walter. As a result, his opinion changed, and he then changed the opinions of the other men. It was a mob no more. Any small action can change the tide of a mob, either positively or negatively.

Answer: C. Frost's use of metaphor to give the apple trees the qualities of grazing animals emphasizes that the wall is unnecessary.
Explanation: figurative language is the use of words or expressions to convey a meaning that is different from the literal interpretation. A metaphor is a figure of speech that consists in making a direct comparison between elements that aren't obviously related, in order to create an image in the reader's mind. In the given excerpt Frost uses a metaphor that compares the apple trees to grazing animals ("My apple trees will never get across And eat the cones under his pines"), this helps to emphasize that the wall is unnecessary.
I believe “Is that blood on me or blush?” :)
