Answer:
Maybe replace it with another noun or a pronoun
Explanation:
Unlike independent clauses, they can't stand alone as full sentences. Noun clauses function to add more details to a sentence. If you're not sure whether a clause is a noun clause, try replacing it with other nouns or pronouns.
Answer:
No, The women were not justified in hiding the evidence.
Explanation:
In the book, "Trifles", by Susan Glaspell, she narrates a murder incident involving a couple. The couple were Mr. and Mrs. John Wright. John Wright was described as a temperamental man who subdued his wife. Mrs. Wright had just been arrested by the police for the suspicious murder of her husband. Two police officers, accompanied by their wives, Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters came to the house to investigate the scene and collect evidence. The women came to the house with the intention of bringing a change of clothes for Mrs. Wright who was now in custody. There, they found evidence that Mrs. Wright likely killed her husband.
One of the pieces of evidence was the wrung neck of Mrs. Wrights canary which they believed was killed by Mr. Wright. They were thus convinced that Mrs Wright was being ill treated by Mr. Wright prompting her to kill her husband. They then conceal the evidence from their husbands.
Though this act was out of compassion for the woman, it was wrong for the following reasons;
- The law is supposed to take its course.
- Mrs Wright was supposed to seek help or annul the marriage when it was being detrimental to her rather than resort to murder which is an offence to the law.
- A lawyer would have also helped Mrs. Wright even if the evidence was submitted.
- Not submitting the evidence also makes it seem like the women supported the crime.
“The Lottery” is a short story written by the famous writer Shirley Jackson in 1943. The Lottery tells the story of a small village that holds a lottery every year to decide which person from the village is going to be stoned by the other villagers. However, the reader does not know about this until the very end. In the first paragraph, Jackson describes the lottery in a way that it creates uncertainty. She starts creating so much suspense that the reader may feel uneasy, anxious or disturbed since he/she may not fully understand what the lottery is about. As far as we know, lotteries are generally played in a different way, with papers or numbers and players usually receive a nice reward, such as money and nice objects. However, in Jackson’s story, the reader is not sure why the villagers are meeting up in the center of the village or why the children from the village are collecting and stones. So, the way Jackson starts this story makes the readers read until the very end in order to find out what is actually going on.
