Passage 1 adapted from The Fox and the Goat A fox one day fell into a deep well and could find no means of escape. A goat, overc

ome with thirst, came to the same well, and seeing the fox, inquired if the water was good. Concealing his sad plight the fox praised the water, saying it was excellent beyond measure, and encouraged the goat to descend to the well. The goat thoughtlessly jumped down, but just as he drank, the fox informed him of the difficulty they were both in and suggested a scheme for their common escape. "If," said he, "you will place your forefeet upon the wall and bend your head, I will run up your back and escape, and will help you out afterward." The goat readily agreed, and the fox leaped upon his back. Steadying himself with the goat's horns, he safely reached the mouth of the well and made off as fast as he could. He then turned around and cried out, "You foolish old fellow! If you had as many brains in your head as you have hairs in your beard, you would never have gone down before you had inspected the way up, nor have exposed yourself to dangers from which you had no means of escape." Passage 2 Woes of Taking a Shortcut Bianca was very popular in school and had many friends. Everyone had something good to say about her, but Bianca had one trait that always landed her in trouble: She was always in a hurry and did things on impulse. Her parents had often advised her to spare a minute to think before acting, but Bianca did not heed their advice. It was a pleasant evening, and Susan had organized a small gathering at her place to introduce her cousin Alan to her friends. Bianca loved parties and was looking forward to having a good time at Susan's house. She spent a couple of hours dressing up in her finest dress, doing her hair, putting on makeup, and finally coating her nails a bright red color. "Mom, I'm leaving!" called out Bianca, as she hurriedly took her purse and stepped out of the house. She had hardly reached the next lane when she noticed the thick, dark clouds looming in the sky. She knew it would start raining soon. Her friend Mini had joined her as well, and the duo quickened their pace to avoid getting caught in the rain. "I know a shorter route, and we'll save 10 minutes," panted Bianca. "You know that means crossing the field with the barbed wire," muttered Mini, looking frowningly at Bianca. "Don't you want to get there sooner?" coaxed Bianca. Before Mini could respond, Bianca had already steered away from the street and taken the slushy sidewalk to the field. "Oh no!" she cried as the muddy water splashed on her party dress. She tried to wipe it with a tissue, and together the girls carefully moved toward the field. Bianca ducked as Mini held the wire to make space for Bianca to crawl through the horizontal wires. Her heart stopped when she realized that the hem of her dress had caught in the barbed wire, and as she tried to pull herself free, she could feel her dress tearing. Tears rolled down her cheeks as she realized the folly of her thoughtless decision.Which theme is found in both passages? A. Sometimes attending a party during bad weather is not a good idea. B. People should listen to the advice given by friends and family. C. People should think of the consequences of their actions before making a decision. D. Sometimes it is necessary to sacrifice something in order to gain something.

What relationship does brutus share with julius caesar?
Liula [17]
<span>Their relationship is actually quite loving. In this scene Portia actually wakes up to have a little couple’s chat about the state of things. Portia knows Brutus is hiding something and implores him to share his burden. I'm going to go the romantic route and say that Brutus doesn't want to tell Portia because he does not want to involve her in this very dangerous conspiracy. Portia wants to know about the masked men, the secret chats...She says that she is his friend and wife rather than a kept woman. This bond is rather uncharacteristic of nuptial relationships during this period but it is nice to read! Hope this helped you at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>

The Set-Up

Slavery existed and women didn't have the vote in the first half of the 1800s. The people who weren't complete dirtbags wanted to change that…and had conventions to build up followers.

The Text

Truth begins her speech by pointing out that women and Black men gathering together should strike terror in the hearts of men attached to the status quo. (So you know this is going to be good.)

The status quo is that women need to be protected, and she describes all the special treatment that she never receives. Yeah; both of these are messed up. Women aren't fragile things that need to be treated like weird glass-blown angels…Sojourner Truth proves this by being strong.

…but she also proves that Black women are treated absolutely horrifically. She gets worked like a man (and beaten like a man) and so is considered less of a woman and less of human being.

Then she brings up the complete lack of logic present in inequality. She—being Black and a woman in the 1800s—is allowed less than a white man. But white dudes are getting snippy because she's asking for just a little more in the way of rights. Why are these guys getting miffed, exactly? She's not asking for them to have fewer rights than they already have; she's just asking for more than what she has.

Some of these dudes argue that women can achieve less because—check out this skewed logic—Jesus was male. Truth states that this is ridiculous. After all, God depended on Mary to bring Jesus to the world.

And speaking of Biblical women achieving Big Deal things: Eve managed to turn her world upside down with just one bite of an apple. So a statement that women can't get things done is insane: with the combined forces of determined women, there can be change again. Eventually, men will bow before the force of women's power.

Now that's how you end a speech.

 

TL;DR

A Black woman stood up and said, "Hey, I'm human, too. And I deserve just as many rights as Black men and white women."

And then the sound of her dropping the mic echoed through history.
