Answer:
Susan B. Anthony first stated the purpose of her speech was to prove that she "not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny."
Explanation:
Susan B. Anthony was a women's rights activist in America and a social reformer who was a pioneering figure for the women suffrage movement in America. She was convicted of unlawfully participating in the presidential elections of 1872 of which her speech was based on.
In the opening paragraph of her speech, Susan B. Anthony stated that her aim was to prove that she did not do anything wrong in participating in the election. She stated that she had been <em>"indict[ed] for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote"</em>. She then proceeded to state that her main aim for giving this speech was to prove that she <em>"not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny."</em>
The sisters in the story <em>I Want to be Miss America </em>expected that the future will never favor them. They will never look an inch closer to the long-legged creamed-skin Americans in the pageant. They will always be the women with olive skin and dark curly hair.
The best example of a thesis statement is the following: "Funding for breast cancer should remain higher than the funding of other cancers because much of the funding is privately raised, the resulting research has proven beneficial for advancing the treatment of other cancers, and public support will demand the maintenance of current funding" (C).
A good thesis statement should be one sentence containing clearly:
- the <u>main idea of the essay or paper</u>;
- the <u>conclusion</u> you will be reaching as an answer to this question;
- and, potentially, a summary of the <u>thread of ideas you will be developing</u> to come to this conclusion.
In statement C, the thesis is expressed directly and the author explains why this argument is important: current levels of research about breast cancer funding should at least be maintained, and prioritized over other forms of cancer, because this specific research helps us learn more about other cancers and how to treat them.
The author also adds an element which will appear in the development of ideas (the main body of the paper): the fact that the public opinion supports current breast cancer research funding levels.
