Commonlit: Advice to the newly married lady

enyata [817]

Answer and Explanation:

"Advice to the Newly Married Lady" was written by Samuel K. Jennings (1771–1854). He offers pieces of advice to women as to help them secure happiness in their marriages. According to Jennings, while a man has other sources of happiness and fun, a woman only has her house and husband to look forward to, which is why she should make great effort to please her man:

His engagements as a man, will necessarily keep up his attention. He will have frequent occasion to mix with agreeable and interesting company. [...] He of course will have an asylum, should home become tiresome or disagreeable. But your house is your only refuge, your husband your only companion. Should he abandon you, solitude, anxiety and tears, must be your unhappy lot.

Jennings goes on to say the woman should be completely submissive and obedient to her husband. She should try her best to stay on his good side, for he is superior by nature. She must also learn what his personality is like in order to know how to better behave in order to make him happy:

1. As it is your great wish and interest to enjoy much of your husband’s company and conversation, it will be important to acquaint yourself with his temper, his inclination, and his manner, that you may render your house, your person and your disposition quite agreeable to him. [...]

2. [...] Again, nature has made man the stronger, the consent of mankind has given him superiority over his wife, his inclination is, to claim his natural and acquired rights…

3. In obedience then to this precept of the gospel [“Wives submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as unto the Lord”], to the laws of custom and of nature, you ought to cultivate a cheerful and happy submission.

Read this excerpt from "Wiley, His Mama, and the Hairy Man" in The People Could Fly

klasskru [66]

Answer and explanation:

In literature, exposition is the part of a story in which the author sets the stage for what will happen. It is where the theme, characters, conflicts, setting and/or circumstances are laid out. It is during the exposition that we get to know some fundamental facts about the characters that will help us understand who they are and keep up with their development through the story.

In "Now, facts are facts. Wiley was a boy. He and his mama lived by themselves with just Wiley’s dogs," we have an exposition because the character Wiley is being introduced to us. We now know he is a boy who lives with his mother and dogs. Those are simple facts about Wiley that set the stage for bigger conflicts and happenings. We need to know a bit about the characters to feel connected to them.

How does acceptance of responsibility influence effective communication

Virty [35]

During a conflict one can either accept responsibility or not (depending, or course, on whether the conflict is resulting from a fault of one’s own). If responsibility is accepted, the communication that ensues is honest and can be constructive resulting in an understanding that can generally be achieved when both sides are fully listening to each other and trying to understand the opposite perspective. If responsibility is denied, what usually happens is that “walls” go up and little listening takes place and, because instead of listening one is generally trying to decide what to say next in order to defend himself or herself, an understanding (with regard to effective communicating) cannot be achieved.
