Answer and Explanation:
This question is about the short story "The Lady, or the Tiger," by author Frank Richard Stockton, and American writer and humorist who lived from 1834 to 1902. Below, I provide you with a persuasive paragraph. Keep in mind that this question asks for your opinion, so feel free to adapt the paragraph to your own ideas:
In "The Lady, or the Tiger," author Frank R. Stockton makes a point of describing the princess and her father as being "semi-barbaric". What he means is that they let their emotions get the best of them and that they act in ways that are not justifiable. The king, for instance, comes up with a trial that he considers fair, when it is in fact anything but. The accused must choose a door behind which there is either a maiden or a tiger. Choosing the tiger means that person is guilty and should be devoured by the beast. Choosing the maiden means he is innocent, and his reward is to be forced to marry her. <u>As for the princess, she is clearly impulsive and jealous. She falls in love with a man of inferior rank. When her father sends the man to trial, she is able to find out which door leads to which outcome. However - and Stockton does take his time making this description -, she is consumed with jealousy. She wants the man to live, but she cannot bear the image of him marrying someone else. So, what does she choose? To my mind, she sends him to the tiger. Stockton made sure to describe her as jealous and semi-barbaric, and that cannot have been for nothing. I believe the author wants us to see this woman as capable of sending the man she loves to death simply because she does not want anyone else to have him.</u>
Answer:
Winthrop acknowledged that there are two types of freedom, Natural and Moral. He describes natural liberty as the freedom of a man to do whatever he pleases, as beasts would. He defines the "natural state" is corrupt and evil and that this form of liberty would not lead to a civilized society, instead man would become worse than savages within time. On the other hand, Moral liberty, also known as civil liberty, is a different kind of freedom focused to lead people to do what is good. Laws and rules under government and faith is what is needed in order to motivate the society to do the "right" things; without obeying laws to govern the people or faith with religion, the people would be corrupt and uncivilized. Religion was highly used in Winthrop's description, however, he used an analogy towards the status of women within the family. Basically he stated how the women must behave a certain way and obey rules under others and God to symbolize the man's good choice in marriage.
humans have their natural liberty at birth, but is moral liberty really freedom if you are under a certain order you have to follow? People do have the intention of doing the wrong or "evil" things as they encounter it, but the only way they know it is evil is because their surroundings and the "laws" tell them it is evil. But if there was no rules or laws, people would not be civilized, therefore we need it to be "free" from our sinfulness.

Answer:
It was a cold, foggy morning, and Julie was in no mood to take her dog, Snoopy, out for a walk in the bitter cold. Snoopy himself seemed reluctant to leave his bed near the fireplace. Julie got up and sat with Snoopy near the window of their house, soaking in the warm sunlight. Suddenly, she heard some commotion outside her front door, and hurriedly went to see what it was. As she opened the door, a young, scruffy looking man started running, with the milk bottles he had stolen from her front porch. Snoopy took after the man, ignoring the bitter cold, while Julie ran after them, still in her night robe and slippers. Snoopy tripped two newspaper boys and overturned a garbage can as he pursued the fleeing thief. As Julie turned a corner, she saw the thief slip on the hard ice, milk bottles flying, as Snoopy leaped and caught one of them in his mouth. The thief got away, but Snoopy came back happily, his tail wagging, to return the bottle to an exhausted Julie, expecting his breakfast.
