For Research: "Hortensia's Protest"
" In the century BCE, what rights did a feeeborn Roman woman enjoy? What was her role and status in society?"
Freedpeople were slaves who were manumitted and Freeborns were the children of freedpeople.
Freeborn children, became full citizens and could even become equestrians if rich enough. Freedpeople had low social status, and most were probably fairly poor, but it was possible for them to achieve some success in a trade, and a few might even become wealthy.
In Roman law, women were under the complete control of their husbands, the head of the household. Roman woman had very limited rights. They could own land, and there are many instances where a Roman women became quite rich, because of inheritance.The role of a woman was to manage the house hold, tend to the children, and be submissive to their husbands. Status in Roman society was sought through public display of wealth. if you werent in the higest ranking of the social class, having wealth, you really had no say.

Angela's Ashes Intro(Limerick)
1. yes i think the people of limerick are being fair in their judgement. they have the right to defend their city against the way Frank writes about it in his book. Even though these people clearly didnt live with Frank and probably no nothing of how miserable and depressing his life was, their right is still there.
2. People's reactions depend on the way the book is told. if someone wrote a book criticising the community of course people would be defensive, only trying to protect the image of the community.

INSULTS :)!!!
Thou be'st a hideous yellow-bellied schmuck
- To be an ugly stupid coward
- To be an iritating, gross old woman
- To be an alcoholic and to look like a mouse
- To be a mischievous big-eyed lad
- To be a dirty, lying foot licker
MLK : Letter From Birmingham Jail {P.A.S.S.}
Purpose and Audience
1. he was telling where he was and telling us basically what he's talking about.
2. he saying that the clergymen were people who genuinely sought to do good. Its ironic because at first he's all nice then later becomes the opposite.
3. His repetition of "us" , "we", & " you" kind of makes the reader assume that his audience is the clergymen and others.
4. the thesis is weak and vague. Bt i think it would be MJ saying why he's writing the letter and telling about his location.
Style and Structure
1. this letter entirely
2. about midway in the the letter
3. moreover, then, now, but, in spite of , perhaps
4. it supports his opinion and to show how this problem is widespread nationally
5.
7. He starts sweet talking and his tone has calmed. He also ask them to accept his apology if his letter is "overstating the truth and indicating an unreasonable impatience". He wants peace and for them to get along.Yes i think he is successful in doing this.

Mark Antony & TIM Activity
In the Invisible Man, Tim as we know spoke at Clifton's funeral. He spoke good things about his brother, depicting his good qualities. He doesnt speak badly on Clifton even after he caught him selling the Sambo dolls on the street, which was betraying to TIM. Tod's death was claimed to have been a plan all along by the Brotherhood. The brotherhood didnt like how Tod was trying to be an individualist.They planned to stop his efforts by getting rid of him because he was a threat for the org. Tim's speech amps up the crowd, and they go hysterical
This is similar to Caesar's death. It tells how his conspirators feared that he was going to become a tyrant so they killed him.In Julius Ceaser's funeral, Mark Antony deliever a funeral speech.Just as Tim, he listed the good qualities of Caesar speaking good, and arouses the crowd.Both Antony and TIM's speeches were amazing. They also were phenominal spokesmen.

Writing Workshop- Pg.589
"As family, we should stand united with one another, we should love one another, and we should treat one another with due respect, kindness, and humility"- unknown
Notice how "should" is emphasized in this quote. Yes family should fufill these simple acts but uhhh ... THEY DONT. Especially mine.A family is suppose to be a union, which is close and where much love abides, and mine by definition, isnt.
That it why i have decieded to segregate myself from this " Family". Its impossible to change who you share the same blood with or have relation to , but i will disaffilate thine self with my family.I can no longer live under the same roof with people who do not love one another with true unconditional love nor do not treat each other with duable respect and kindness.
I am here now, dismounted from this so called family of mine. I will no longer have any ties or relations with anyone in this fraudulent union. Furthermore, i shall aquire any communications to or from these people. We are to an end and i now hereby proclaim my independence. If this declaration is unpleasant in your eyes, let me make it known that i dont not attend to your thoughts or disastisfaction.
