Read the excerpt from "A Genetics of Justice” by Julia Alvarez. My father and mother were once again trapped in a police state.

They laid low as best they could. Now that they had four young daughters, they could not take any chances. For a while, that spark which has almost cost my father his life and which he had lighted in my mother seemed to have burnt out. Periodically, Trujillo would demand a tribute, and they would acquiesce. A tax, a dummy vote, a portrait on the wall. To my father and other men in the country, the most humiliating of these tributes was the occasional parade in which women were made to march and turn their heads and acknowledge the great man as they passed the review stand. What is the central idea in this paragraph? Having four young daughters made the family more of a target because of Trujillo’s mandatory tributes. Trujillo required people to take part in tributes and parades, which were enforced by the police state. The author’s parents fought against the dictatorship, even though they participated in the tributes. The author’s parents tried to get by in the dictatorship, but felt humiliated by the tributes they were forced to participate in.

The central idea of the paragraph in this exceprt the author adopts is that her parents barely dealt with the circumstances of living under a dictatorship despite the humiliating tributes done by Trujillo they unwillingly made part of, so the best idea is the last option "<em>The author’s parents tried to get by in the dictatorship, but felt humiliated by the tributes they were forced to participate in."</em> As expressed in the passage, the author's parents tried to keep a low profile to avoid detection from police, but having a handful of daughters made it difficult, and they could not take any risks but to accede to stand the dictatorship.

Explain the use of narrative structure in "A Jury of Her Peers," focusing particularly on the notion of "resolution." How does t
slavikrds [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

"A Jury of Her Peers'' was written by Susan Glaspell. She employs a narrative tone to describe the story. The resolution forms part of the story and it's where the story ends. It is at this point that conflicts are resolved and the story comes to an end. The plot was considered as a feminist literature because two female characters were trying to come up with a solution to a mystery. Mrs Hale and Mrs Peters came up with the conclusion that Mrs Wright killed her husband, and her actions are justified. The circumstances behind the death of John Wright leaves the townsmen  in a state of confusion as to what could have led to his death. Mrs Wright killed her husband because she was physically abused by her. Mrs Hale and Mrs Peters hide the evidence against her because they understand how it feels to be humiliated and oppressed by a man. In the end, Mrs Wright is granted freedom.
