This is a thought-provoking letter written by Kurt Vonnegut opposing the idea of burning books of young children, in view of transforming the system of education in America.
Explanation:
In this letter, Vonnegut starts telling audience/readers the ideas that can have a negative effect, not only on the target person/individual, but also on a wider range because of its effect being new and historic.
Though in view of a change, Vonnegut argues that this act of burning books is not what we all should accept. In Paragraphs 7 and 8, when Vonnegut explains about how people feel it is their right to decide what their children must read, the author explains to them that it is true but doing that in an un-American way - harsh, impractical, ignorant manner can cause a negative impact for them.
In the next point of argument, author talks about how people/nations who didn't read books, didn't let ideas emerge among people fought wars. They created destruction all over world. The author clearly states that people/nations who read books have been a part of development, improvement and liberation.

It is situational irony because the County Attorney has actually issued a relevant warning to Mrs. Peters without realizing it.
In the one-act play “Trifles,” Susan Glaspell has highlighted many of the important ills of the society that a woman had to face. She speaks about all the above-mentioned themes in her play. The discrimination that a woman faces in this male-centric society which leads her to the world of isolation is the main theme of the play. She talks about the nature of males towards females and the way they mock at them. A women’s craving desire to live and think freely in this society has a reoccurring aspect throughout the play. Trifles give an account of the farm life in the early twentieth century and especially about the life of women working in the farms. About justice and judgment, this play has a lot to tell. It speaks about the laws which have been made by the men and how women had to follow them too. Men had never asked women to become a part of the decisions that they have been taking. Though women had to accept such laws and punishments which the prejudiced society asks them to do.
