The short piece "Girl," by Jamaica Kincaid, is all about the expectations and roles of women, as well as young girls becoming women, in a patriarchal society. If the piece were named "Boy," the expectations and instructions would be completely different, and I suspect, less accusatory and careful.

Read the following excerpt from Levitt and Dubner’s Freakonomics.
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer: B)Feldman’s payment system was largely successful.

Explanation:

Feldman was earning much more than he did as a research analyst which means that he was earning a lot of money from this business which further means that his payment system was largely successful.

This means that people are mostly honest because his payment system was based on honesty in that he simply left the cash basket there and people could either have not paid or could have taken money from the basket but they didn't(at least not significantly) which could only happen if people were honest.

Write a 150 word essay that discusses two key differences between the prose form of Sojourner Truth's speech and the poetic vers
torisob [31]

One of the important purposes of nineteenth-century American speeches was to aid in understanding the experience of slavery from a personal point of view. In Sojourner Truth’s speech to the Women’s Convention in Akron, Ohio in 1851, she discusses both the abolition of slavery and women’s rights. During Truth’s life, enslaved people of African descent were denied basic human rights. At the same time, women were denied the right to vote or hold a political office. Women only had very few rights to property or earnings.


The poetic version of Truth’s speech emphasizes the painful experience of African American women who were enslaved. The phrase “13 children,” “almost all,” “cried out” and “grief” appeals to the reader’s emotions to create an aesthetic experience. Through this emotional response, the speaker conveys the central idea of the poem as being the importance of equal rights for African Americans and all women.
