er device to pass the news of his whereabouts to Burgoyne. Clinton wrote a message on a piece of silk that he put in a silver ball about the size of a musket ball. (Clinton also sometimes cut a message into long, narrow strips and coiled them into the hollow quill of a large feather.) Clinton gave the silver ball to Daniel Taylor, a young officer, promising that Taylor would be promoted if he got the message to Burgoyne. If he were captured, he was to swallow the ball. Because it was made of silver, it could not harm him. The author’s main purpose in this excerpt is to persuade the reader that a spy named Daniel Taylor is a hero. entertain the reader with a humorous story about a young officer. prove that spying was the only way for the Americans to win the war. give an example of creative spying during the American Revolution.

yuradex [85]

Answer:

The excerpt portrays the theme of Social oppression of women.

Explanation:

In"Trifles" by Susan Glaspell, The theme of social oppression of women shows how the male dominated society treats women. The men belittles the women, they occupy the workplace while the women only stay at home. <em>Trifles</em> portrays how men dominate the world and look down on the female gender. Social restrictions and expectations confine women to their homes only to do house works. The women go unheard in male-dominated societies with little control or identity of their own.

The women are oppressed. They are only identified by their husbands surnames just like the characters of Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters. except Minnie the only woman in the play to get a first name. but she is isolated at home and without children.

The theme of social oppression of women displayed in the play shows that women are not only locked in their homes and left to be dependent on their husbands but that the men fails to acknowledge their roles in oppressing the women rather they mock their character and intelligence and blame the women for enjoying the only things their oppression offers them.

In Romeo and Juliet, if Romeo were Paris and not a Montague, would Juliet still love him? Why or why not? How big a part does "f
Fynjy0 [20]

Answer and Explanation:

Juliet would still love Romeo, regardless of his last name and the family he belongs to. We can see this, because Juliet herself claims that the name Romeo is meaningless to her, because with any name he would still be the Romeo she fell in love with. Juliet claims this soon after learning that Romeo is a Montague, when she was already in love. The role of "forbidden love" in Juliet's attraction to Romeo is small, as Juliet falls in love with Romeo before learning that their family were enemies and would never allow them to be together. You may know this from the speech Juliet makes on her bedroom balcony when she declares her love for Romeo.

It is important to remember that "Romeo and Juliet" is a play written by Shakespeare. In this story, we get to know the tragic romance lived by Romeo and Juliet and learn how petty intrigues can have horrible results.
