The story concerns two cousins, Laura and Janette, who consider two offers of marriage extended to Laura. Though cousins, they represent two different classes, one of privilege and the other of poverty. By juxtaposing their class differences, Harper uses economic contrast to suggest that gender perspectives are related to class consciousness. Laura feels she must marry or face the fate of becoming an old maid. Janette, on the other hand, is unmarried and has forsaken tradition to keep her independence and to pursue a writing career. In this regard, Janette parallels Harper, who was unmarried when she published the story.

Which statement best explains why vidual aids and other media contribute to an effective speech
Xelga [282]

Answer:

Visual aids and other media contribute to an effective speech because they provide something for the audience to associate the speech with in an additional way aside from the words the presenter is saying. People are also more likely to be engaged and interested in a speech if they're able to tell someone has taken more time and put in more effort into their presentation by adding photos, sculptures or videos, and so on.

Explanation:

Visuals help keep the attention of an audience and they are a secondary source of information for boosting the impact on a speech.
