<span>When constructing an argument, one thing writers do is concede a point.  This technique demonstrates to readers that the author considered both sides of the argument and that the argument being presented is not entirely one sided.  Thus, what the author is doing here is conceding the point that tablets can be cost prohibitive.  However, when conceding a point, it is best to immediately follow it up with a rebuttal.  In this particular instance, what the author should do is include information on cost and perhaps try to undermine the point being conceded by mentioning the cost of text books, which can, too, be quite pricey and cannot be updated as easily as information on a tablet. </span>

n part two of Trifles, the symbol of the broken birdcage best supports the theme that women often endure unjust acts in male-dom
shusha [124]

Answer: In part two of Trifles, the symbol of the broken birdcage best supports the theme that women <u>often endure unjust acts in male-dominated societies.</u>

Explanation: The finding of the broken cage and the dead bird lets the women in the play deduce that Minnie's husband had broken the cage door in order to kill the bird. Thus, the signs of violence in the broken cage are a reflection of the oppressive act that this woman suffered from her husband.

Which TWO lines in this excerpt suggest the physical union of the lovers?
Anestetic [448]

The correct answers are

[<u>(b.) And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;] </u>

<u>Thou know'st that this cannot be said</u>

and

[(d.) And pampered swells with one blood made of two;

And this, alas, is more than we would do.]


In this poem, the flea clearly symbolizes their love.

In the answer (b.), their bloods are mixed in this flea and this could metaphorically signify mixing their bodily fluids while engaging in intercourse.

In the answer (d.), it is clear that the speaker is denied intercourse with this woman and extends his argument from the sentence (b.) that their bloods mixed in the flee signify their physical union and that, despite what the society might suggest about her loss of virginity, there is nothing shameful about this act.

In at least one hundred words, discuss one of the themes expressed in Cervantes’s Don Quixote. Use evidence from the text to sup
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Society and Class is one of the themes of Don Quixote.

Explanation:

There are many themes in the "Don Quixote" by "Miguel de Cervantes" like Social and class, madness, loyalty, race, madness, morality.

Cervantes's novel shows the difference between the class of a person and his worth. In Don Quixote, Cervantes argues the traditional thinking that if a person is an aristocrat, he is respectable and noble. But Duke and Duches are frivolous and unkind though they are aristocrats in the story. On the other hand, though Sancho has low social status and is a farmer, he is wise and thoughtful.  

In Don Quixote, two people who love each other are asked to live apart  apart because of their social class and Cervantes also suggests that quality of a person is more important than his social class.
