The trials described by Franklin took place in New Jersey, they took place at the same time and were not fair.
Benjamin Franklin wrote "A Witch Trial at Mount Holly," a short text that satirized the witch trials taking place in the country.
By reading this text, we can see that:
Franklin describes the trial of a man and a woman who were accused of witchcraft.The accusers said they saw them making the pigs sing and the sheep dance.The trials put the accused through absurd tests, which caused the death of the accused, or forced them to admit the practice of witchcraft.Franklin's intention in addressing this topic was to show how the witch trials were not coherent, but rather a crazy illusion. Franklin had this thought because he was so influenced by the stimulation of reason shown in the Enlightenment, which made him critically observe everything.

Both texts (the speech and the advertisement) address voluntourism. However, each text has a different purpose, which is reflected by the details each writer chose to include. Consider the words and images used.
In a paragraph of 6-8 sentences, identify what each text emphasizes and explain how that emphasis supports the claim of each argument. Be sure to state each argument's claim and include evidence from both texts to support your analysis.
While the first text addresses the harms of voluntouring, or volunteering and tourism, the second text, or the image, supports it. This can be seen by the first author saying, "However, this 'volunteer plus travel' experience can actually harm local communities. While many teens might view traveling and volunteering abroad as a worthwhile adventure, there are more genuine and effective ways to make a difference" thus implying that there are other good ways to help poor communities, such as, "If the world's citizens are your passion, it could go to an international organization. If you care about education, your funds can be used to buy books for students in faraway lands. If you want villagers to have clean water, contribute funds to local efforts to dig wells. If you want to experience a different culture, travel to the country as a guest, and learn from the locals how you can best help them after you've returned home. But do not voluntour." The first author also starts listing the harms of voluntouring, where he claims, "Proponents of the 'volunteer plus travel' experience also argue that traveling to new places builds character and is a valuable way to learn about different cultures. With voluntourism, however, participants often pursue experiences that are all about them. For example, they sign up to build a school for a gold star on their resume, but they have no real building skills and take jobs away from local construction workers (Schulten). Or, they arrive to teach English but instead take selfies with the locals. One world traveler and ethical voluntourist believes voluntourism 'can perpetuate small minded views of the world by taking insulated, fake, and structured experiences and selling them as unabridged and eye opening' (Carlos). The voluntour experience is a mirage. The voluntourist's eyes are not opened to real life at the destination, and lasting change is not achieved." The author also uses the technique of expert testimony in his text, by quoting Carlos, Michaels, Schulten, and Dale Rolfe, for multiple reasons, such as health facts, testimonies from workers, and even supporters of ethical voluntourism.
The author's claim in the second text is clear: They are supporting voluntourism. This can be easily seen by the author writing, "GIVE TWO WEEKS OF YOUR LIFE, AND GET THE TIME OF YOUR LIFE!" or "If you've always wanted to make a difference, here's your chance. The world is waiting for you." The author also backs up his claim with statistics, and although they are not directly related to the matter at hand, they are still related to voluntourism. The author says, "57 million children have no school to attend. 783 million people do not have access to clean and safe water worldwide. An estimated 27 million children sit in lonely orphanages throughout the world." And in an effort to further galvanize the reader into action, the author promises that it will not only be a volunteering effort to make the world a better place for some, but also a touristic visit. "Experience different cultures. See new countries... The only qualification necessary is a desire to help! The opportunities are endless!"

Although many of the major languages of the world lack articles informally, these include Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, many Turkic languages (including Tatar, Bashkir, Tuvan, and Chuvash), many Uralic languages (including Finnic[a] and Saami languages), Indonesian, Hindi-Urdu, Punjabi, Tamil, the Baltic languages, the majority of Slavic languages, and the Polynesian languages (only the definite article) (incl. Swahili). The use of articles is optional in certain languages with articles, such as some North Caucasian languages, although it is always required in languages like English and German.

two paragraphs of the passage (lines 1-14)?
A) Even though a character loses a parent at an
early age, she is happily raised in a loving home
B) An affectionate governess helps a character to
overcome the loss of her mother, despite the
indifference of her father.
C) Largely as a result of her father's wealth and
affection, a character leads a contented life.
D) A character has a generally comfortable and
fulfilling life, but then she must recover from
losing her mother,
The first two paragraphs show that even though she lost both parents at an early age, Jane Fairfax was raised with great joy and love. With that, we can say that option A is the correct answer.
The text you showed doesn't have the first two paragraphs, with the first 14 lines, but we can see that this text is a part of the book "Emma" written by Jane Austen.
Thus, when reading the first paragraphs of this passage, we can see that:
The passage is featuring Miss Jane Fairfax.Her parents died when she was a little child and she was raised with her aunt, Mrs. Bates, who is very young.Although we are used to sad stories, the Jane Fairfax story is not like that.That's because the first paragraphs show how she was a very happy child in her aunt's care.That's because Jane's aunt loves her so much and raised her with great care and affection.In this case, we can summarize these paragraphs, showing that despite losing her parents at a very young age, Jane was raised with joy, love, and affection, as option A shows.
