tester [92]

Answer:

These statements support the idea that high school students do not have enough intellect to support political issues, especially within schools.

Explanation:

Justice Black states that students do not have enough understanding to take a position on political issues. This lack of understanding and knowledge, makes students with little academic development, use political issues to cause uproar, disrupt classes and prevent really brilliant students from feeling comfortable inside the school.

The principle accusers in The Crucible are young, unmarried women. List some evidence from the play to show the status of single

guapka [62]

Single women in Puritan society had a very low social status and did not have much influence in society, but they were seen as very innocent, pure and credible people, since they were not married and had not been "corrupted". This is because, single women, in Puritan society, were considered children and therefore shared the same innocence, until they entered adulthood, where they would get married and leave the status of a child and, consequently, the status of incocence. Women prostitutes were also not considered innocent and did not deserve to be heard because of their sinful nature.

In "The crucible" the girls who started the accusations, mainly Abigail, were single and that's why nobody believed they were lying. Abigail used her reputation as an "innocent" to accuse all the people she believed should get out of her way, as no one knew she was Proctor's lover, her words were easily accepted by everyone.

Pani-rosa [81]

Answer:

Dear 15 year old me,

You probably won't read this letter because it's stuck in a pile of unfinished homework on your bedroom floor, next to the moldy cups of coffee and your dirty underwear, that you're too bone idle to put in the wash bin.

I'm now double your age, so basically this means I'm an adult. (So stop rolling your eyeballs at this, because although you think I'm old and boring... I'm about to give you the best advice you'll ever hear).

Right, first of all, take your cup full of fungus downstairs and wash it up... Pop your knickers in the wash while you're there. Trust me... your lack of basic self respect for your box room, is going to be used against you at future gatherings.

I know it's annoying and you've got better things to do, like belt out Survivor in your mirror like you mean it, but 'survival' to you right now, is getting credit on your Nokia 3310.... (oh, please)

Make mum a brew... (stop tutting) .... What if I told you, you've only got ten years left of her. She won't be there forever you know, and trust me.....One day, you'd do anything to hear her yell up them stairs again. When you take it to her, tell her how much you love her. You don't know it, but she's going through a lot right now, and she won't admit it because she's protecting you.

You're in such a rush to get out, live on your own, spread your wings, prove something. Why? Gosh seriously, slow down. You don't know how good you've got it!!

Hold on, baby crying, I'll be right back...

I'm back.

Sorry, I hadn't mentioned.... You'll become a mummy.
