What is women's suffrage?
The right for women to vote in elections is known as women's suffrage. Some individuals began pushing for changes to the voting laws to let women to vote at the beginning of the 18th century.
Women's suffrage is the right of women to vote in elections. Beginning in the start of the 18th century, some people sought to change voting laws to allow women to vote.
Following the passage of the 19th Amendment, liberal political parties would offer women the right to vote, expanding their potential voter bases.
We see that there was a period when women weren't allowed to vote or be voted for. But the women's suffrage movement helped to change the narrative.

I need a counterargument to why smoking in public should be illegal.
Answers
The economic activities generated from the production and consumption of tobacco produce huge tax revenues for most governments as well as employment in the tobacco industry. Thus by banning smoking public, it reduces the number of smokers and thus the industry goes away.
Banning people from smoking in public is a violation of one’s personal liberty as people should have the autonomy to decide on what kind of lifestyle they will have.
Hope that helps!
Smoking bans lead to fewer smokers in general
Every year smoking is responsible for 700.000 premature deaths in Europe due to increased risks of cancer, cardiovascular and respiratory diseases. To protect citizens from toxic tobacco smoke all EU countries have introduced smoke-free environments, as recommended by the European Council in 2009. This has led to 1.9 million less smokers in the UK alone in the first 10 years since the introduction of the bans.
1. Smoking bans take away people’s freedom
Smoking bans can be seen as an infringement of freedom of choice. Smoking is a legal habit, and 28% of European adults are regular smokers, yet they cannot freely choose where they would like to enjoy their cigarette.
2. Reduces the risk of passive smoking
Toxic fumes don’t only affect the person actively smoking a cigarette – there are significant health risks associated with second-hand smoke as well. Worldwide, second-hand smoke causes more than 1.2 million premature deaths per year. Smoking bans in public places significantly reduce the exposure of non-smokers to toxic fumes.
2. Smoking bans are bad for business
It used to be commonplace for people to smoke in pubs and clubs. But when smoking bans are enforced in public places such as these, smokers seek other places where they can smoke in peace. That means fewer customers and lower profits for pub and club owners.
3. Healthcare costs fall
Smoking is expensive – not just for smokers themselves, but for the general public as well. It is estimated that the treatment of smoking-related diseases, productivity losses to the EU economy and premature mortality amount to €544 billion losses in one year in the EU. By reducing the number of active and passive smokers, smoking bans could thus save European healthcare systems a lot of money.
3. Less tax revenue for governments
There are high taxes on tobacco throughout Europe, though the precise percentage of taxation varies between member states. In this way, governments make a lot of money. If smoking bans lead to fewer cigarette sales, that could mean that governments have reduced revenues from tobacco taxes.

Sonnet XII
by William Shakespeare
When I do count the clock that tells the time,
And see the brave day sunk in hideous night;
When I behold the violet past prime,
And sable curls all silvered o'er with white;
When lofty trees I see barren of leaves
Which erst from heat did canopy the herd,
And summer's green all girded up in sheaves
Borne on the bier with white and bristly beard,
Then of thy beauty do I question make,
That thou among the wastes of time must go,
Since sweets and beauties do themselves forsake
And die as fast as they see others grow;
And nothing 'gainst Time's scythe can make defence
Save breed, to brave him when he takes thee hence.

First, choose and read a few chapters of Psalms and Proverbs. As you read, you will notice several figures of speech. Write each scripture down and identify the type of figure of speech. Explain how the figure of speech helps a reader understand the message behind the words. Include five to ten examples of figurative language and their meaning.
Answers
Answer:
Explanation:
As a literary device, figures of speech enhance the meaning of written and spoken words. In oral communication, figures of speech can clarify, enhance description, and create interesting use of language.
It makes the sentence deeper and leaves the reader with a sense of wonder. It brings life to the words used by the writer. The figure of Speech not only shows the writer's intent but also his purpose in using such language. It adds flavour to the writing and makes it so much more enjoyable for the reader.Figurative language also makes ideas and concepts easier to visualize. It can bring clarity to abstract ideas, concepts, and feelings. Devices like imagery and onomatopoeia form a clear picture in the mind. Comparisons through metaphors, similes, and symbolism make complex ideas easier to understand.
Some common figures of speech are alliteration, anaphora, antimetabole, antithesis, apostrophe, assonance, hyperbole, irony, metonymy, onomatopoeia, paradox, personification, pun, simile, synecdoche, and understatement.
Learning figures of speech, like similes, metaphors or personification in English, helps the learners to improve their understanding of the figurative aspect of the language while also exposing them to the use and understanding of clichés and slangs.
The purpose of using figures of speech is to add richness to writing that will have an effect on the reader. By using these comparisons, it allows the reader to have a greater understanding and ability to imagine the situations being described in the writing. Figures of speech are means of expressing ones thoughts and emotions by adding intensity to the words used. It is a rhetorical way of speaking that uses words in distinctive ways. In simpler words, figures of speech are used to add an extra color as well as interest to awaken the readers or listeners.
Answer:
Psalm 1:5 It is a simile. It helps us because of the comparison.
Psalm 23:1 It is a metaphor. It compares things without the use of like or as.
Psalm 51:10 It is a metonymy. It substitutes one thing for another.
Psalm 18:7-8 It is a hyperbole. It exaggerates to help us understand.
Psalm 24:7 It is an apostrophe. It addresses a thing as if it were a human.

Collage students should be able to.
Explanation:
Sometimes people dont have the money but they put the work in. They should be awarded by getting to go for free if there grades are B or higher. At least most of there grades should look like that to be awarded free collage.
Answer:The downside can affect the student’s own life. If college is free, students would not focus seriously on their college education. They just go to college because it is free. The results could be dropping out of college and graduation rate would be lower. Or another effect that students are not well prepare enough for the real world because they just try to get the degree to graduate and actually not learn anything. If going to college is free, it is similar of students go to elementary, middle or high school, they are just going to school and are not really think ahead of their future. But when students get to college, hopefully they are old enough to realize what is best for them. If free college could happen, students should be thankful for that and try their best to achieve what they want.
College should be free because of it can makes a big effect on student 's lives. If college can be free, more students would go to school and to get a higher degree for themselves. Then after graduating college without debt, students can be able to think about their own life such as doing business, buying house, etc. Also a better - educated population can make positive effect on the society. There could be downside of the situation but students could be able to overcome it because going to college is for their own education and life. Going to college is for changing the student 's own futures and also Long ago, there have been massive arguments about whether or not community college should be free. Nowadays, a college education has become fundamental in today's society. Each year, education is becoming challenging in today's marketplace. Thus, many people, including students question whether community college tuition should be free given. I firmly believe free community college should be provided and financed by the U.S. government. It will encourage learners to concentrate on their studies, and encourage them to work harder in school. In result, a significant increase in student grades will rise. Therefore, the opportunity will create student, specifically low-income student to have more advantages.
Firstly, college should be granted to students freely because it will encourage them to concentrate on their educations. Some college students are working part-time jobs and are full-time students. Perhaps, working through college will not always cover all of a student's education expenses including books, supplies, room and board. If free tuition is given, students will have further time to educate themselves. Moreover, college tuition and prices are at an all-time high. Each year, prices are rising higher and higher. For 2015-16 academic year, the average cost of tuition, fees, room, and board cost
There are few states that are providing programs with no internal tuition or fees such as Tennessee, Oregon, Minnesota, and Kentucky. This could be a great opportunity to raise employment by removing the expense limitations throughout. For example, students would finish their college education and ultimately be educated enough to later become doctors, lawyers or teachers. As a result, this could build incredible job opportunities. Our country will develop the power for high employment rate and build further
