Excerpt, Letter from Abigail Adams to her Husband, John Adams, during the time when the American colonies were drafting of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 to declare their independence from England.

"I long to hear that you have declared an independancy and by the way in the new Code of Laws which I suppose it will be necessary for you to make I would desire you would Remember the Ladies, and be more generous and favourable to them than your ancestors. Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of the Husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could. If particular care and attention is not paid to the Ladies we are determined to foment a Rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any Laws in which we have no voice, or Representation."

Excerpt, On the Equality of the Sexes, written in 1790
by Judith Sargent Murray

I answer that every requisite in female economy is easily attained; and, with truth I can add, that when once attained, they require no further mental attention. Nay, while we are pursuing the needle, or the superintendence of the family, I repeat, that our minds are at full liberty for reflection; that imagination may exert itself in full vigor; and that if a just foundation is early laid, our ideas will then be worthy of rational beings. If we were industrious we might easily find time to arrange them upon paper, or should avocations press too hard for such an indulgence, the hours allotted for conversation would at least become more refined and rational.

Should it still be vociferated, "Your domestic employments are sufficient"—I would calmly ask, is it reasonable, that a candidate for immortality, for the joys of heaven, an intelligent being, who is to spend an eternity in contemplating the works of the Deity, should at present be so degraded, as to be allowed no other ideas, than those which are suggested by the mechanism of a pudding, or the sewing the seams of a garment?

In this excerpt from Jack London’s “To Build A Fire,” which sentence shows an external conflict?
The dog was disappointed and yearned back toward the fire. This man did not know cold. Possibly all the generations of his ancestry had been ignorant of cold, of real cold, of cold one hundred and seven degrees below freezing-point. But the dog knew; all its ancestry knew, and it had inherited the knowledge. And it knew that it was not good to walk abroad in such fearful cold. It was the time to lie snug in a hole in the snow and wait for a curtain of cloud to be drawn across the face of outer space whence this cold came. On the other hand, there was no keen intimacy between the dog and the man. The one was the toil-slave of the other, and the only caresses it had ever received were the caresses of the whip-lash and of harsh and menacing throat-sounds that threatened the whip-lash. So the dog made no effort to communicate its apprehension to the man. It was not concerned in the welfare of the man; it was for its own sake that it yearned back toward the fire.

"Yes, suh," said Willie Thomas, stroking the stallion's forehead. "He sure got a good look to him, I know that!"

"Now, Willie," said my daddy, "I expect you to take mighty good care of this horse. I'm depending on Ghost Wind to win me more than a few races by the coming year, and I want him in the best condition possible."

***

It wasn't until the next day I saw Mitchell again. "You get a whippin' for ridin' that stallion?" he asked as I made my way through the woods toward the creek.

I shook my head. "No. Just can't ride Ghost Wind anymore."

Mitchell glanced sideways at me, almost as if he felt bad about my predicament. "That bad as a whippin'?"
