Abigail Adams believed women should be educated and be recognized for their intellectual capabilities, so they could guide and influence the lives of their children and husband instead of being companions. Three reasons why men shouldn’t be given unlimited power are because women and men should have equal powers, education and property rights. Would you want to live a life where the husband treats you as a slave and he’s the master? Or where women are ignored and do not have any property rights? While John Adams was attending the Continental Congress to support American independence, Abigail Adam asked her husband to “remember the ladies” (pg.
Another reason their relationship is dangerous is that if John Procter were to prosecute against Abigail Williams saying that she is in fact a witch, Abigail Williams could very easily tell the entire town that she and Procter have been having an affair to get revenge on him. It wouldn’t really affect her too much, but on the contrary, it would ruin his reputation in the town and his relationship with his wife. Later in Act I, Abigail is being “interrogated” by Reverend Hale and she claims “I never sold myself! I’m a good girl! I’m a proper girl!” (Miller 40) in this statement, Abigail is defending herself that she never sold herself to the devil.
Instead of just using the word women, she uses “we” because she wants the reader to feel that she and the audience is a part of this statistic too. I think Kamenetz is trying to reach a very broad audience, rather than target any certain audience. She, in a way, is targeting men of all ages. I think that showing men that people are equal regardless of sex is the most important in this case, and she realizes this as well. She does a great job of relating to all audiences, to see her possible solution to the rising issues occurring.
By demonstrating their beliefs publically they enlightened and gained many supporters, but at the same time faced much opposition. Many people did not like the idea of change, they felt as if men should be dominant and the only voice women should have was around the house. Despite the opposition their tactics proved to be successful because in 1920 the 19th amendment was ratified and women were given the right to vote. Alice Paul and her colleagues proved to be successful because of their passive aggressive tactics. The tactics that NAWSA and Carrie Chapman Catt lacked.
The townsfolk develop a mysterious wonderment as to why Hester seems relatively unfazed wearing the letter day in day out. “But did ever a woman, before this brazen hussy, contrive such a way of showing it! Why, gossips, what is it but to laugh in the faces of our godly magistrates, and make a pride out of what they, worthy gentlemen, meant for a punishment?”(Hawthorne et al. 47). Her reputation as time passes continuously gets better because people will speak with her and realize she is not an evil, dark
They don’t truly pay for their crimes when they are released from jail without being taught their lesson and what is their incentive to not commit these crimes again a second or third or fourth time? They know that the consequences are not that bad. Those who know how to take advantage of the system, will. With crime so prevalent in America as opposed to years before, it is a wonder that no one has thought to create a system which actually changes a criminal’s thinking while they are in jail; show them the facts of how a life of crime turns out. No retirement, no relaxation while you’re always watching out for the police and most importantly, no future.
To deny him this was wrong. Some people think that staying in detention centres is a vacation, because the government pays for everything, but how would they know, have they been or stayed inside one? People make assumptions on what they see in the media, but the media also doesn’t know the full story, they just know what the officials tell them and want them to see. Living in detention centres is NOT some holiday, it is harsh and a horrible place to stay. Detention centres is not a place where the people are treated with respect and kindness, it is a place where people, especially teenagers get sexually assaulted, given the wrong medication and can even die.
Also his experience from Mrs. Dubose, and from Boo Radley bring about many changes for Jem. “I always thought Maycomb folks were the best folks in the world, least that’s what they up in the town of Maycomb. But the trial of Tom Robinson made him think that this wasn’t true. Jem believed that no one in the town did anything to help Tom. He saw how racist the town was.
A woman’s typical day differed based on her social standing. If she was rich, her family would employ servants so she would not have to perform as much of the cleaning and grunt work. Her children would be sent to school, husband to work, and once the expected duties were done a wife might have some leisure time. Acceptable activities were needlework, sewing, and other practical crafts She might also read the bible or books and magazines deemed appropriate for
One example of an immigrant who faced a struggle against I.C.E was when Maria Bolanos called the police due to the abuse by her partner but instead one phone call led to her own deportation. Before the incident, she was fingerprinted because she was charged with selling a phone card to a neighbor illegally. “Even though police later dropped the phone card charge, Bolanos' fingerprints were the first step toward deportation proceedings” (Vishnuvajjala 2). This exemplifies that police were not considering helping Bolanos and completely ignored why she called the police in first place, which can lead to immigrants in fear and helpless if they were in serious danger circumstances. If police cannot help one's issue, what is the purpose of being a cop?
