Answer: The speech is meant to persuade women, and the story problem encourages a woman to fight for her rights.

Explanation:

Lucy Stone was a distinguished women's rights activist.  She is famous for her <em>"The Progress of Fifty Years"</em> speech (1893), in which she focuses on inequality that women experience. However, she asserts that the situation has changed over the last fifty years, as women fight for their rights. In her speech, Stone wants to persuade women not to stop fighting.

Similarly, the story<em> "A Widow's Burden" </em>explores women's rights - rights of a widow upon her husband's death, in particular. Her stepson takes her property, farm, leaving very few items to her. Her parents support her in her fight for her rights, the same fight that Lucy Stone is talking about in her speech. Both the speech and the story, therefore, encourage women to fight for equality.

Answer:

A Christian Saint John of the Cross recorded the ´dark night of the soul´ to explain the movement from sin to true virtue.  

Explanation:

In the book, it is written about the toil and tribulation which directs the wrong-doer to a good virtue of the works of the Creator of living, which will eventually direct him on to significant peace.

The nature of the individual who is searching to receive God's courtesy is tried out in the shadows of their own arrogance.

Although that person may carry out righteous acts prior to others and themselves, the sincerity of a person's nature, which God will eventually decide, rests within their inner wanting for a greater spiritual state.

Explanation:

the christian mystic saint john of the cross wrote about the ´dark night of the soul´ to describe the passage from sin towards true righteousness. he writes about the toil and tribulation which leads the sinner towards a greater appreciation of the works of god, which will ultimately lead him on to greater self-peace and fortitude.

before one can strive for the rewards of the blessings of god there must be some sort of test of character which proves that the holy spirit allows the individual to partake in the holiness which is bestowed by god. the progress from an initial state, where the character of the individual is in a raw unworked   form, towards a final end where the person will receive the love of god in a full manifestation, is only brought about through a test of character.

the character of the person who is looking to receive god's grace is tested in the shadows of their own pride. even though that person may perform righteous acts before others and themselves, the truth of a person's character,   which god will ultimately judge, lies within their interior wanting for a higher spiritual state.

the desire for spiritual pleasure is not the same as attaining a higher revelation of god's glory. as such, humility is very important as well as temperance in striving towards the highest light. to contemplate the darkness of our own soul implies a test of character beyond spiritual vice.

Once the creature has learned how to satisfy his basic needs, he learns language and then how to read.
dusya [7]

Answer:

The Monster learns to speak by spying on the DeLacey family. He lives for over a year in a “hovel,” a small shed attached to the DeLaceys’ cottage. Through a chink in the wall, the Monster can see and hear everything that happens inside the cottage. He learns to speak by listening to the DeLaceys. When Felix DeLacey’s fiancée Safie arrives, the Monster is able to learn more: Safie is Turkish, and the Monster overhears Felix teaching her French as well as the history and politics of Europe. The Monster learns to read when he finds three books abandoned on the ground: <u>Paradise Lost</u>, <u>Plutarch’s Lives</u> and <u>The Sorrows of Werter</u>. These books point to major themes of the novel. <u><em>Plutarch’s Lives</em></u> is about the “great men” of history, which reminds us that the <em>Monster exists because of Frankenstein’s ambition to be great</em>. The <u><em>Sorrows of Werter</em></u> is a novel about the <em>alienation of a young man</em>, which underlines <em>the alienation of both the Monster and Frankenstein</em>. <u><em>Paradise Lost</em></u>, by the English poet John Milton, is the most significant of the three books. It tells the <em>Biblical story of Adam and Eve</em>, focusing on <em>Satan’s ambition and alienation from God</em>. The Monster frequently compares himself to both Satan and Adam.

What does the creature learn from this book? How much of a monster can someone be who can say "but when I heard details of vice and bloodshed, my wonder ceased, and I turned away with disgust and loathing"?

The creature learns all about the history of civilization and all the wars man has waged on one another.

What happens when the creature begins to think about himself? How does he compare with the humans described in the book? What questions does he ask himself? How does his knowledge make him feel?

The creature realizes he is the only one in existence. Like himself he is monstrously ugly and he is utterly alone. He asks, "What am I?" and "Who am I?" He feels absolute misery.

What are the three books that the creature reads, and what does he learn from each of them?

Plutarch's "Lives", Goethe's "Sorrows of Werter", and Milton's "Paradise Lost". He learns of man's cruel history of war in "Lives", of man's melancholic nature in "Sorrows of Werter" and the noble thoughts of man in "Paradise Lost".

Read the sentence. The lawyer presented a clear argument to the jury it was unbelievable how influenced they were by his case in
MA_775_DIABLO [31]

The best revision of this sentence is the following:

The lawyer presented a clear argument to the jury (it was unbelievable how influenced they were by his case) in the hopes of winning the trial.

A pair of parentheses needs to be used in order to separate this information from the rest of the sentence and facilitate reading and comprehension. The information in the parentheses is related to the meaning of the sentence but in some way it interrupts the flow, so a pair of parentheses is necessary in order to indicate this.
