Answer:

B. Doctors were believed to be unquestionably all-knowing.

Explanation:

Charlotte Perkins Gillman's short story "The Yellow Wallpaper" revolves around the life of a woman 'diagnosed' with mental illness and the 'treatment' around that sickness. The story delves into the theme of mental illness and how it is perceived by the people, especially in a patriarchal society like the one the narrator is in.

In the given excerpt, the woman, diagnosed with mental illness, states how she was 'treated' for the <em>"temporary nervous depression—a slight hysterical tendency"</em>. The physicians, including her own brother, all decide what is the best for her condition, instead of asking her opinion. This shows the lack of women's participation, let alone acceptance of women, in society including the domestic sphere.

Lastly, <u>her revelation shows how doctors or anyone of high standing, were perceived and believed to be unquestionably all-knowing and correct</u>.

I NEED AN ARGUMENTATIVE LETTER WITH EVIDENCE AGAINST SCHOOL DRESS CODE(not uniforms) WILL GIVE BRAINIEST
kozerog [31]

Answer:

this will not be as good but feel free to modify (i wrote this in like 10 minutes)

Explanation:

   Plenty of schools around the world have dress codes. Although dress codes will guide students to wear appropriate clothing, dress codes can also be a pain to students in the mornings.

    Many scholars wear inappropriate clothing to schools. Dress codes have been made to prevent this from happening. Although dress codes have their own perks of not having students wear inappropriate clothing, they can make students' mornings more uncomfortable. Waking up early in the mornings can be difficult for some, now imagine that with having to measure out clothing. Students who can't afford to clothe may need to just get dress coded. There are many solutions to avoid this problem in both ways.

      Uniforms have been going around schools. Although they may not satisfy every student's style, they do bring one solution to the struggles of mornings. Some teachers may find this a little bit easier to spot the trouble makers as well. They can easily spot the students not wearing the uniforms and dress code them, rather than trying to measure everything by eye.

      Dress codes can have their own perks of letting the students choose their own clothing with a bit of a guideline. Having to struggle in the morning to find clothes that fit the dress code standards can take up time and result in being late for school. Uniforms are one of many solutions to this problem. Although they do not give students much of a choice, they can solve the issue with both the students and teachers.

In the first lesson of this chapter, you wrote a journal entry pretending you were a lawyer defending Zachariah. For this projec
Annette [7]

Answer:

Public speaking is like any skill. The more you do it, the better you get at it. Here is the only advice you need: Make eye contact with your listeners. Even if you’re nervous, nobody will know. If your audience sees you looking at them, they’ll look back and connect with you.

Start by reviewing your journal entry to make sure you have used specific details from the text to support your defense. Make sure you have at least two or three details.

Then, record a video of yourself pretending to be Zachariah’s lawyer. Pretend your revised journal entry is your "opening statement" in the trial and you are speaking to the jury and the judge.

Use any video recording device available to you. A cell phone or a webcam is perfect. Be sure to speak clearly and maintain appropriate eye contact. You might even practice with a friend, a parent, or in front of a mirror first.

If you don’t have the equipment and can’t record and upload a video, give the speech to a friend, a parent, or just a mirror. When you’re done, write a reflection in your journal about your experience. Consider what you did well and what you might do differently next time. The reflection should be about 150 words.
