Based on these lines, it seems like the parents wish that the speaker had a more reliable profession. The fact that the parents are skeptical indicates that they most likely do not think that book publishing is a profitable pursuit. Moreover, they seemed worried about the fact that book publishing is disappearing, so they believe that the author might be behind the times.

Why is gender equality important?

Brums [2.3K]

Gender equality is very important because it is not good to say that one gender is superior than the other. Everyon must be treated equally regardless of their gender, religion, caste, etc. and that is real freedom. Both men and women can work towards the development of a nation. They can share ideas and their views on how to make this world a better place. Everyone must be given a chance to express themselves, so that is why I say gender equality is important. Hope this answer helps. I know it's not really informative, so, apologies. Thank you. ❤️

The second excerpt then shows what Franklin was talking about, in that they used the 'guise of peace to backstab the US in hopes of continuing their expansion eastward.
