Keys Ideas and Details: Based on details in the poem, what inference can you
tangare [24]

The inference we can make, based on the details in the poem by Sylvia Plath, is that the mushrooms' intention is to take over the world, as explained below.

<h3>What is an inference?</h3>

We can define inference as the process of inferring, meaning that we reach a conclusion based on information we have. For this question, we must read the poem "Mushrooms" by Sylvia Plath and analyze lines 30-33 to make an inference concerning what the mushrooms' intentions are.

Lines 30-33 are the following:

  • "Our kind multiplies:
  • We shall by morning
  • Inherit the earth.
  • Our foot’s in the door."

As we can see, the speakers in the poem's lines are the mushrooms. We can make the inference that it is the mushrooms' intention to take over the world as they talk about multiplying silently, without anyone noticing. They can grow anywhere and "inherit the earth."

With the information above in mind, we can conclude that the answer provided above is correct.

How did the feminist literary theory develop.<br><br> I WILL GIVE BRAINIEST!!!!!!
mel-nik [20]

Answer:

Feminist literary criticism is literary criticism informed by feminist theory, or more broadly, by the politics of feminism. It uses the principles and ideology of feminism to critique the language of literature. This school of thought seeks to analyze and describe the ways in which literature portrays the narrative of male domination by exploring the economic, social, political, and psychological forces embedded within literature.[1] This way of thinking and criticizing works can be said to have changed the way literary texts are viewed and studied, as well as changing and expanding the canon of what is commonly taught. It is used a lot in Greek myths.[2]

Traditionally, feminist literary criticism has sought to examine old texts within literary canon through a new lens. Specific goals of feminist criticism include both the development and discovery female tradition of writing, and rediscovering of old texts, while also interpreting symbolism of women's writing so that it will not be lost or ignored by the male point of view and resisting sexism inherent in the majority of mainstream literature. These goals, along with the intent to analyze women writers and their writings from a female perspective, and increase awareness of the sexual politics of language and style[3] were developed by Lisa Tuttle in the 1980s, and have since been adopted by a majority of feminist critics.

blsea [12.9K]

Answer:

We estimate the effect of education on participation in criminal activity using

changes in state compulsory schooling laws over time to account for the endoge-

neity of schooling decisions. Using Census and FBI data, we find that schooling

significantly reduces the probability of incarceration and arrest. NLSY data indicate

that our results are caused by changes in criminal behavior and not differences in

the probability of arrest or incarceration conditional on crime. We estimate that the

social savings from crime reduction associated with high school graduation (for

men) is about 14–26 percent of the private return. (JEL I2, K42)
