Answer:

Two examples of literature that can be seen as a form of protest are the book "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects", written by Mary Wollstonecraft, and the pamphlet "A Modest Proposal" written by Jonathan Swif.

In "The Vindication of the Rights of Woman" Wollstonecraft protests about the condition of women in society and how to deny them full education, just like men received, left them submissive, childlike and devalued. For this reason, Wollstonecraft protested the society that put women in a place that was not theirs and deprived them of being independent and of having a bright future that they were able to have.

In "A Modest Proposal", Swift ironically and acidly criticizes the state's neglect and irresponsibility in caring for the most needy, leaving them totally destitute. In this pamphlet Swift suggests that poor children serve as food for the rich, so the government will have no responsibility to them and still prevent them from stealing out of necessity.

Tamiku [17]

Answer:

Dear Ms. Smith:

I have just finished serving the in-school suspension you assigned me on 11 February, 2021. As I told you when you assigned the punishment, I did not commit the vandalism done to the desk in Mr. Jones’ classroom. I realize this letter will not add any new facts to those on which you based your decision; therefore, it is unlikely to change your mind. I also understand that even if you do come to accept my assertion of innocence, you cannot undo the punishment. Nevertheless, I want to be heard.

The vandalized desk had my name carved into it. It was on that basis that Mr. Jones reported me. I understand why both you and Mr. Jones would suspect me. However, I was not the only person who sits at that desk or who had an opportunity to vandalize it. You asked me why anyone else would have carved my name on the desk. That is, in my view, an unfair question. I suggested that someone might have wanted to get me in trouble. Also, though I didn’t like to make the suggestion, I also thought someone might have carved my name because the person had feelings for me.

Though you made your skepticism clear, you brought in the other students who sit at the desk and asked them if they had done the damage. Each of them denied responsibility. Their denials, unlike mine, satisfied you. You didn’t address the possibility that someone might have come into the classroom and done the damage during a break or some other period when the classroom was empty.

I intend to put this incident behind me once I have delivered this letter to you. Writing my side of what happened is to give me closure.

Sincerely,

*The oppressed must never allow the conscience of the oppressor to slumber :
ololo11 [35]

Answer:

The answer is<em> Unless the oppressed fight back with violence, the oppressor will triumph.</em>

Explanation:

This is a famous quotation by Martin Luther King Jr. He strongly believed that non-cooperation with the evil is as just as moral obligation as cooperation with the good, what this means is that the oppressed must not be passive, but to actively fight for their freedom and rights, never letting the oppressor a moment of peace.
