How do readers determine character traits in a text

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

sometimes the author will explicitly state the traits

ex. "Samantha has long brown hair, and green eyes. She is tall."

Other times, the reader has to make inferences based on what other characters say, or observe about this character. When characters interact and make assumptions we can determine what this character acts, looks and behaves like.

Which sentence in this excerpt from Susan B. Anthony’s “On Women’s Right to Vote” reveals the purpose of the speech? Friends and fellow citizens: I stand before you tonight under indictment for the alleged crime of having voted at the last presidential election, without having a lawful right to vote. It shall be my work this evening to prove to you that in thus voting, I not only committed no crime, but, instead, simply exercised my citizen's rights, guaranteed to me and all United States citizens by the National Constitution, beyond the power of any state to deny. The preamble of the Federal Constitution says: "We, the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America." It was we, the people; not we, the white male citizens; nor yet we, the male citizens; but we, the whole people, who formed the Union. And we formed it, not to give the blessings of liberty, but to secure them; not to the half of ourselves and the half of our posterity, but to the whole people - women as well as men. And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

Answers

Answer:

And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

Explanation:

Susan B. Anthony's speech "On Women's Right To Vote" invokes the Preamble of the Consitution of the United States about the inclusion of women in its statement "We, the people". She reiterates that the "we" in the Preamble means not only the men but also the women, and the equality of all genders.

In the given excerpt from her speech, she declares her intention to prove that "voting" is not a crime but a simple "[exercising] of her citizen's rights" guaranteed by the National Constitution. So, it is upon her now to show that she has committed no crime as such as simply doing right by the very rights that the nation has given to everyone.

Thus, the sentence that reveals the purpose of her speech is seen in the last line

And it is a downright mockery to talk to women of their enjoyment of the blessings of liberty while they are denied the use of the only means of securing them provided by this democratic-republican government - the ballot.

Read the excerpt from The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock."
And indeed there will be time
To wonder, "Do I dare?" and, "Do I dare?"
Time to turn back and descend the stair,
With a bald spot in the middle of my hair
[They will say: "How his hair is growing thin!")
My morning coat, my collar mounting firmly to the chin,
My necktie rich and modest, but asserted by a simple pin-
[They will say: "But how his arms and legs are thin!")
Do I dare
Disturb the universe?
In a minute there is time
For decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse.

Coherent essay (Are men and women given equal right?) write a thesis

Answers

Answer:

No! Men and Women are not given Equal Rights. We can hope it will be in the future. Equality between men and women means that both genders should not be treated differently on the sole basis of their gender. This applies to all fields of life, for example the rights, opportunities and status of the two genders. Therefore, men and women should be treated equally with regard to everything. There are no circumstances where a woman or a man should be treated differently because of their gender.  In some countries both genders have equal rights when others don't. In some countries, Women are Paid lesss because they are Women. 1.3 billion people in the World live in absolute poverty- 70% of them are women

-150 million children worldwide don’t go to school- 90 million of these are girls

-Women ear 77 cents to the dollar a men makes.

   Across the world the disparity between males and females is striking. According to data collected by Worldmeters, the population of Earth consist of 50.4% male and 49.6% female. Although the ratio between these two genders is almost identical, women are systematically mistreated and discriminated against thought the globe. While many of the disparities and inequalities occur in developing nations, there are developed western societies where women are still unable to attain the same level of education, secondary opportunities and even pay as their male counterparts. Freedom and equality are ideas this country has had for centuries that have evolved over time.  In 1776, what Thomas Jefferson meant by “all men are created equal”, is that white males are dominant in society.  Women are treated worse than men and slaves treated worse than women.  People that weren’t of the “superior” race/gender of a white male were typically treated as if they were less.  Women and African-Americans aren’t being treated as bad today, but they’re still being treated worse than the white males of society.  Even today, when white males are typically the leaders of society, it’s not always race and gender that creates inequality; sometimes it’s money that creates the issue.

Answers

Answer:

sooo this kinda took a long time but i hope it help

Explanation:

As Patrick Henry was doubtless aware, his "Speech to the Virginia Convention" constituted nothing less than an act of treason against the British colonial authorities. In openly inciting the Americans to armed rebellion, Henry was effectively making himself a criminal under colonial law—and a very dangerous criminal at that.

But as the tone of the speech quite clearly reveals, Henry is utterly unrepentant in his defiance of the British. The most famous words of the speech—"Give me liberty or give me death!"—perfectly encapsulate this defiant attitude. Henry is prepared to die for the cause of liberty and wants to persuade the other delegates of the justice of his cause.

At the same time, Henry's speech isn't simply a wild rant given by a demagogue or a political fanatic. It's a measured speech, a speech that uses rational persuasion, as well as pathos and violent rhetoric, to drive home its main points.

For instance, Henry refers to the build-up of British military forces, which he sees as an ominous threat, a sign that the British are willing to deal with the Americans' legitimate grievances by force. This is no violent rant; this is a carefully crafted argument designed to win over his audience, many of whom were still skeptical of the necessity of armed rebellion.

Patrick Henry uses a patriotic tone in his speech to persuade his audience as to Jonathan Edwards's uses a harsh tone in his sermon to persuade his audience.

Patrick Henry's tone is persuasive because he tells the attendees of the convention that they have done all that they can without having to fight to fix it: “Sir, we have done everything that could be done, to avert the storm which is now coming on

What were Patrick Henry last words?

“Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty”—Henry burst from his imaginary chains and grasped an ivory letter opener—“or give me death!” As he uttered these final words, he plunged the letter opener toward his chest, mimicking a knife blow to the heart.
