Answer:

Your answer might include some of the following points:

Personal background: Susan B. Anthony, a former teacher, was a prominent and outspoken advocate for women’s rights.

Audience and purpose: The immediate audience included community members and prospective jurors after she voted illegally during the 1872 presidential elections. She received a wider audience through the reports of the trial, publication of the speech, and the support of other suffragists.

Content and message: In her speech, Anthony makes several excellent points about the US Constitution guaranteeing the rights of all citizens—not just male citizens.

Historic context: During the 1872 presidential elections, the struggle for women’s rights was intense. The speaker illegally cast her vote because she believed that she was being denied her rights as a US citizen.

Immediate impact: The speech reached a wide audience of progressive women and men and intensified the struggle for equal rights for women, including the right to vote.

Historic impact: Several reformists and women’s rights and equal rights activists have referred to this historic speech through the years.

Personal impact: The speech made me recognize the importance of voting in an election.

<span>In November 1872, Anthony voted in the presidential election. Two weeks later, she was arrested. After her indictment, Anthony gave her famous On Womens Right to Vote speech. In the speech, Anthony invoked the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, pointing out that it addresses We, the people, and not We, the male citizens. She argued that those countries that denied women the right to vote were oligarchies. At the end, she challenged her detractors to answer this question: Are women persons?</span>

During her trial, Anthony was unable to testify on her behalf, since womens testimony was not considered to be competent. Instead, her lawyer presented her arguments. She was convicted of casting an illegal vote and fined $100. Anthony refused to pay the fine, stating, May it please your honor, I will never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

<span>The writing is choppy.

I believe this is the answer. If the writing was connected, sentences would already be combined. Varied writing and lengthy writing usually has nothing to do with sentence combination.</span>

Discuss whether Shakespeare's adaptation of the historic love story Romeo and Juliet places an emphasis on moral behavior. Use e
coldgirl [10]
An emphasis on moral behavior (and the questioning of it) is at the core of "Romeo and Juliet". The main conflict revolves around it: how ethical it is to fall in love with my family's enemy? During the course of the drama, this moral question transforms into another one: How ethical it is to hate other people in the first place, based only on their surname?

The ethical question gets especially complicated when Juliet thinks about marrying Paris. To her, it seems as if she would betray Romeo, which she would never do; but the paradox is that if she betrayed Romeo, she would undo the betrayal of her family. In spite of that, she doesn't want to give up on her loyalty to Romeo. In Act 4, Scene 1, she says:

JULIET 
O, bid me leap, rather than marry Paris,
From off the battlements of yonder tower,
Or walk in thievish ways, or bid me lurk
Where serpents are. Chain me with roaring bears;
Or shut me nightly in a charnel house,
O'ercovered quite with dead men's rattling bones,
With reeky shanks and yellow chapless skulls.
Or bid me go into a new-made grave
And hide me with a dead man in his shroud
<span>(Things that, to hear them told, have made me </span>
   tremble),
And I will do it without fear or doubt,
<span>To live an unstained wife to my sweet love.</span>

How would life be different if there were suddenly no more tools on earth? Explain in several sentences giving examples.
Fittoniya [83]
We wouldn’t have the resources we need to get through life such as cooking food, clothing for when we get cold, weapons to protect ourselves, and generally things to keep us alive. If we didn’t have fire we wouldn’t be able to stay warm, and healthy. If we didn’t have weapons like steel, iron, wood, we couldn’t make those things in to self defense mechanisms.
