Which line of dialogue in this excerpt from Susan Glaspell's Trifles suggests that the attorney believes women are incapable of plotting?

COUNTY ATTORNEY: No, Peters, it's all perfectly clear except a reason for doing it. But you know juries when it comes to women. If there was some definite thing. Something to show—something to make a story about—a thing that would connect up with this strange way of doing it—

(The women's eyes meet for an instant. Enter HALE from outer door.)

HALE: Well, I've got the team around. Pretty cold out there.

COUNTY ATTORNEY: I'm going to stay here a while by myself, (to the SHERIFF) You can send Frank out for me, can't you? I want to go over everything. I'm not satisfied that we can't do better.

SHERIFF: Do you want to see what Mrs Peters is going to take in?

(The LAWYER goes to the table, picks up the apron, laughs.)

COUNTY ATTORNEY: Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out. (Moves a few things about, disturbing the quilt pieces which cover the box. Steps back) No, Mrs Peters doesn't need supervising. For that matter, a sheriff's wife is married to the law. Ever think of it that way, Mrs Peters?

MRS PETERS: Not—just that way.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

"Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out."

Explanation:

Susan Glaspell's short play "Trifles" revolves around the murder of Mr. Wright where his wife has been accused of doing the deed and put on trial. The focus of the scene is set in the scene of the crime where the attorney, the sheriff, and Hale were going through the stuff along with their wives.

From the scene given in the question, it is evident that the men did not really think the women are capable of making discoveries, let alone, a crucial one. One evidence is that the lawyer did not think the things that Mrs. Peters has picked to take with her are important or even related to the case. He merely asserts it as "they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out", little realizing that it was the women who discovered the reason and possibly uncovered the whole situation relating to the murder.

Thus, the line of dialogue that suggests that the attorney believes women are incapable of plotting is "Oh, I guess they're not very dangerous things the ladies have picked out."

What does explain how your example and evidence tie into your topic mean

Answers

Answer:

Your topic usually makes a statement (like a thesis statement), right? To support your topic, you give examples and evidence. But here's what it means to tie evidence into the topic: you have to have a clear link or transition between topic and evidence or example. The link can be keywords or phrases that show the connection between statement to supporting evidence.

Example: If my topic is "Dogs are loud," and my evidence is that dogs bark, then I need to prove that dogs bark loudly. (Let me pull some numbers out of thin air here.)

I could state, "Dogs produce noise levels that are unsafe for human ears within a proximity of ten meters," and support that with: "Dogs produce high levels of vibrations when they bark. On average, a dog's bark is no quieter than 50 decibels, and can get as loud as 100 decibels. These levels of volume cause ever-so-much-any-number-will-do damage to the human ear when heard from within ten meters distance." (fake numbers)

In this example, my example and evidence are intertwined in my stated average volume of dog barks and the damage that allegedly causes (it's fake evidence ok). I can explain the tie by also stating, "This amount of damage to the ear is unsafe because it is irreparable, causes great pain to the human, and may lead to them going deaf." (None of which is true... I think.) Can you see the tie? If not I can try another explanation.

Answers

Answer:

Actuate.

Explanation:

A persuasive speech can be defined as a type of speech in which the aim or goals of the speaker is to convince the listeners (audience) to accept their own point of view, perspective, ideas or opinions. Thus, the main purpose of a persuasive speech is to inform an action in the minds of the potential listeners by accepting all or part of the ideas, views, or perception being expressed by the speaker.

Basically, the three (3) goals or elements of a persuasive speech are;

I. Convince: this is to make the listeners or audience believe the views being expressed through the use of evidence, superior arguments or logic.

II. Stimulation: this is simply to create excitement and enthusiasm in the minds of potential listeners while believing the speaker.

III. Actuate: this is simply to cause the listeners or audience to take an action. It motivates, incite or compels the listeners to do something.

In this scenario, Zach gave a speech urging his college-age audience to become organ donors. Thus, this is a speech to actuate.

The author walked into the safe by mistake. True False

When I go into a bank I get rattled. The clerks rattle me; the wickets rattle me; the sight of the money rattles me; everything rattles me. The moment I cross the threshold of a bank and attempt to transact business there, I become an irresponsible idiot. I knew this beforehand, but my salary had been raised to fifty dollars a month and I felt that the bank was the only place for it.

So I shambled in and looked timidly around at the clerks. I hadan idea that a person about to open an account must needs consult the manager. I went up to a wicket marked "Accountant." The accountant was a tall, cool [scoundrel]. The very sight of him rattled me. My voice was sepulchral.

"Can I see the manager?" I said, and added solemnly, "alone." I don't know why I said "alone."

"Certainly," said the accountant, and fetched him.

The manager was a grave, calm man. I held my fifty-six dollars clutched in a crumpled ball in my pocket.

"Are you the manager?" I said. . . . I didn't doubt it.

"Yes," he said.

"Can I see you," I asked, "alone?" I didn't want to say "alone" again, but without it the thing seemed self-evident.

The manager looked at me in some alarm. He felt that I had an awful secret to reveal.

Come in here," he said, and led the way to a private room. He turned the key in the lock.

"We are safe from interruption here," he said; "sit down."

We both sat down and looked at each other. I found no voice to speak.

"You are one of Pinkerton's men, I presume," he said.

He had gathered from my mysterious manner that I was a detective. I knew what he was thinking, and it made me worse.

"No, not from Pinkerton's," I said, seeming to imply that I came from a rival agency. "To tell the truth," I went on, as if I had been prompted to lie about it, "I am not a detective at all. I have come to open an account. I intend to keep all my money in this bank."

The manager looked relieved but still serious; he concluded now that I was a son of Baron Rothschild or a young Gould.

"A large account, I suppose," he said.

"Fairly large," I whispered. "I propose to deposit fifty-six dollars now and fifty dollars a month regularly."

The manager got up and opened the door. He called to the accountant.

"Mr. Montgomery," he said unkindly loud, "this gentleman is opening an account; he will deposit fifty-six dollars. Good morning."

I rose. A big iron door stood open at the side of the room.

"Good morning," I said, and stepped into the safe.

"Come out," said the manager coldly, and showed me the other way.

I went up to the accountant's wicket and poked the ball of money at him with a quick convulsive movement as if I were doing a conjuring trick.

My face was ghastly pale.

"Here," I said, "deposit it." The tone of the words seemed to mean, "Let us do this painful thing while the fit is on us."

He took the money and gave it to another clerk. He made me write the sum on a slip and sign my name in a book. I no longer knew what I was doing. The bank swam before my eyes.

"Is it deposited?" I asked in a hollow, vibrating voice.

"It is," said the accountant.

"Then I want to draw a cheque."



My idea was to draw out six dollars of it for present use. Someone gave me a chequebook through a wicket, and someone else began telling me how to write it out. The people in the bank had the impression that I was an invalid millionaire. I wrote something on the check and thrust it in at the clerk. He looked at it.

"What! are you drawing it all out again?" he asked in surprise.

Then I realized that I had written fifty-six instead of six. I was too far gone to reason now. I had a feeling that it was impossible to explain the thing. All the clerks had stopped writing to look at me.

Reckless with misery, I made a plunge.

"Yes, the whole thing."

"You withdraw your money from the bank?"

"Every cent of it."

"Are you not going to deposit any more?" said the clerk, astonished.

"Never."

An idiot hope struck me that they might think something had insulted me while I was writing the cheque and that I had changed my mind. I made a wretched attempt to look like a man with a fearfully quick temper.

The clerk prepared to pay the money.

"How will you have it?" he said.

"What?"

"How will you have it?"

"Oh" —I caught his meaning and answered without even trying to think— "in fifties."

He gave me a fifty-dollar bill.

"And the six?" he asked dryly.

"In sixes," I said.

He gave it to me and I rushed out. As the big door swung behind me, I caught the echo of a roar of laughter that went up to the ceiling of the bank. Since then I bank no more. I keep my money in cash in my trousers pocket and my savings in silver dollars in a sock.
