Read the following excerpt from a research paper on American novels and answer the question. The argument continues about which

novel has the honor of being the first American novel. Some award the honor to Gilbert Imlay's The Emigrants, denying the novelistic writing that preceded it (Gray 453). Several novels have lost their claim to that title for one reason or another. In 1751, Charlotte Lennox used American scenes and characters in The Life of Harriot Stuart, but her literary training and home were in England (Shepherd 5). A book called The Female American: or, The Adventures of Unca Eliza Winkfield was thought to have been written by an American and published in London in 1767. In 1775, Adventures of Alonso, probably by Thomas Atwood Digges, was claimed to be by a native of Maryland. The book, however, was not published in America and deals with nothing American. An Indian story, The History of Maria Kittle, was written in 1781, but did not appear as a book until 1793 (Burke 76). Miss McRae by Hilliard d'Auberteuil in 1784 lost its claim because it was written in French by a Frenchman (Sloan 8). What is the purpose of this paragraph? to define American novels to explain why there is a problem defining the first American novel to introduce the topic of d'Auberteuil's novels to explain the classification process of American novels

Students should wear uniform in school so bullying and distractions can decrease.

If uniform is required then no one will feel out of place and they won’t get made fun of there cheap clothes or the brand they got. As well as girls wearing inappropriate things that show to much skin, then boys will get distracted a lot. Not only that but girls will get body shamed for that.


Therefore if uniformed is mandatory less bulling will happen and students will be less distracted.



Hope this helps! If it did please hit thanks!
