Read the following quote. What do you think it means? Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? We teach girls shame... We make

them feel as though by being born female they're already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot see they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think, and they grow up -- and this is the worst thing we did to girls -- they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form. Note: Pretense is defined as attempting to make something that is false true. Meaning they lie in order to make something true, or they are faking their emotions, feelings, wishes. In the space below, write one paragraph (4-6 complete sentences) that explains what you think the quote means. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? Provide your response with opinions or examples to support your explanation.

I think this quote is explaining how girls are taught from the beginning, shame. When girls turn into women, they believe they must be quiet, they must be happy, and they must be perfect. I disagree with this quote for this generation. I believe that we have broken through those previous barriers and are now teaching women strength, courageousness, and the power to be ourselves. I do agree with the line, "they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.". From my experience, I believe that women cannot have the same emotions as men, because it may come across different. A powerful woman is seen as snarky or rude, whereas a powerful man is admired.

What is the correct way to punctuate this sentence?
valina [46]

The way to punctuate this sentence will be A.  I felt so bad for ruining Joan's book; by accidentally dropping it in the pool—that I bought her a brand new copy.

<h3>What is punctuation?</h3>

Punctuation adds silent intonation to our work. Using a comma, a period, an exclamation point, or a question mark, we can pause, stop, stress, or ask a question. Writing is more precise and clear when punctuation is used correctly because it enables the writer to pause, stop, or emphasize specific sentences or clauses.

In this case, the way to punctuate this sentence will be that I felt so bad for ruining Joan's book; by accidentally dropping it in the pool—that I bought her a brand new copy. The comma is a punctuation mark that divides elements of a phrase and symbolizes a brief pause.

In the light of ghandis lamp. why does the jailer approach anita years later and ask for coffee?​
Anna007 [38]

Answer:

The jailer approached Anita years later and asked for coffee because he wanted to make friends with her and probably, he realized the importance of "human dignity" when he heard her life's story and her singing while in jail.

Explanation:

The "Light of Ghandi's Lamp" is a story about the "apartheids'" struggle against the authorities such as the Police in Johannesburg. The story focuses on the capture of Anita and the narrator's <em>(Anita's brother) </em>thoughts on how she was doing in prison.

The narrator went to the station to know about her sister's condition and to tell them about how good of a person and sister she was. There he met Anita's jailer who looked gentler than what he imagined. Later on, he realized that the jailer actually lied to Anita about many things. He tried to <em>destabilize her emotions </em>but Anita counteracted it by<em> singing songs</em> and <em>talking about her life</em>. With these, Anita and Richard were sent home.
