<u>Answer:</u>
The main idea of the speech<em> ‘’Is it a crime for a citizen of the United States to vote’’ by Susan B.</em> was to make people realise that women were citizens as well. Her fight was for women, for them to be given the right to vote and most importantly, for them to be treated as the citizens of the United States.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Women hardly had any legal rights. Anthony had made a bold move of casting her vote during the 1872 presidential election for which she was arrested, tried and fined. It’s after this incident that she wrote this speech. Her sole purpose was to prove that women were citizens too and had the right to vote. She also wanted to say through her speech that she hadn’t committed a crime by casting her vote because she believed that she was exercising the right of a dutiful citizen.
In the story "Two Kinds," the author Amy Tan tells us about a mother and a daughter who live in America, but are of Chinese origin. We learn that the daughter wants to be a "Chinese Shirley Temple" and become famous through her dancing and her singing. On the other hand, her mother wants the daughter (Jing-mei) to be a genius. She forces her to take piano lessons, which Jing-Mei hates.
The author develops this conflict through the use of indirect characterization. While she rarely describes the mother and daughter in detail, she describes many events that allow us to create a picture of their behaviour. For example, we learn that Jing-mei hates the piano lessons when she does not care about learning and she does terribly at the recital. We also learn about the mother's expectations of her daughter when she talks about the "two kinds" of daughters that exist. In this way, the author develops the conflict between the two characters while giving the story complexity.
