That crayon is broken but you may borrow it

Now that you’ve read Susan B. Anthony’s “On Women's Right to Vote,” write a personal reflection about the speech. Use what you’v

Lyrx [107]

In November 1872, Anthony voted in the presidential election. Two weeks later, she was arrested. After her indictment, Anthony gave her famous On Womens Right to Vote speech. In the speech, Anthony invoked the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, pointing out that it addresses We, the people, and not We, the male citizens. She argued that those countries that denied women the right to vote were oligarchies. At the end, she challenged her detractors to answer this question: Are women persons?

During her trial, Anthony was unable to testify on her behalf, since womens testimony was not considered to be competent. Instead, her lawyer presented her arguments. She was convicted of casting an illegal vote and fined $100. Anthony refused to pay the fine, stating, May it please your honor, I will never pay a dollar of your unjust penalty. Resistance to tyranny is obedience to God.

HELP explain why the story of Shahrazad and the evil king in The 1001 Nights is considered a frame story.

Vitek1552 [10]

The story of Scheherazade and the evil king is a frame story because it is a basis and a solid basic structure on which bigger things can be built for all the other stories. It is a literary technique that serves as a companion piece to the story within a story. The Arabian Nights is a collection of stories by Islamic authors. Though each collection features different stories, they are all centered around the frame story of Shahrayar, Shahzaman, and Scheherazade. Scheherazade is the primary storyteller of The Arabian Nights.

Explanation:

The sentences have possessive adjectives. In other words, they are pronouns followed by a noun. When we want to add a person's name in the sentence, we have to replace the possessive adjective with the name in brackets. Then we and add the 's, which is the genitive case.

For example, in the sentence These are her keys (Susan), the possessive adjective is her, and the noun that follows is keys, so we write Susan's instead of her. These are Susan's keys.

The possessive case and the genitive case both show possession. Another way to show possession is by writing the word of. To do so, we first identify the possessive pronoun and the noun. Then we change the possessive pronoun by the and, then we write of and the person. For example, In Its dinner is here, it becomes the dinner of the dog is here.
