What is the prologue by anne bradstreet about?
It is about her frustration with Puritan society with regards to the place of women. In my favorite verse it becomes clear: “I am obnoxious (vulnerable) to each carping (scornful) tongue/ Who says my hand a needle better fits./ A Poet's Pen all scorn I should thus wrong,/ For such despite they cast on female wits./ If what I do prove well, it won't advance,/ They'll say it's stol'n, or else it was by chance.” She is saying that everyone is telling her that she shouldn't be doing something that is considered unfeminine such as writing poetry. They are telling her that she should be sewing or cooking. And if she does do well with her poetry it won't matter because she is a woman. They will say she stole it from a man or it was just by chance. the preface or introduction to a literay work.
Simply put, because of their contributions in World War I, politicians could no longer ignor the women's demands for the right to vote. So in September 1918, Woodrow Wilson asked Congress to pass a constitutional amendment saying that all U.S. citizens 21 or older could vote, regardless of gender.:-)
Votes for women were first seriously proposed in the United States in July, 1848, at the Seneca Falls Woman's Rights Convention organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott. One woman who attended that convention was Charlotte Woodward. She was nineteen at the time. In 1920, when women finally won the vote throughout the nation, Charlotte Woodward was the only participant in the 1848 Convention who was still alive to be able to vote, though she was apparently too ill to actually cast a ballot.
Some battles for woman suffrage were won state-by-state by the early 20th century. Alice Paul and the National Women's Party began using more radical tactics to work for a federal suffrage amendment to the Constitution: picketing the White House, staging large suffrage marches and demonstrations, going to jail. Thousands of ordinary women took part in these -- a family legend is that my grandmother was one of a number of women who chained themselves to a courthouse door in Minneapolis during this period.
In 1913, Paul led a march of eight thousand participants on President Woodrow Wilson's inauguration day. (Half a million spectators watched; two hundred were injured in the violence that broke out.) During Wilson's second inaugural in 1917, Paul led a march around the White House.
Opposed by a well-organized and well-funded anti-suffrage movement which argued that most women really didn't want the vote, and they were probably not qualified to exercise it anyway, women also used humor as a tactic. In 1915, writer Alice Duer Miller wrote,
Why We Don't Want Men to Vote- Because man's place is in the army.
- Because no really manly man wants to settle any question otherwise than by fighting about it.
- Because if men should adopt peaceable methods women will no longer look up to them.
- Because men will lose their charm if they step out of their natural sphere and interest themselves in other matters than feats of arms, uniforms, and drums.
- Because men are too emotional to vote. Their conduct at baseball games and political conventions shows this, while their innate tendency to appeal to force renders them unfit for government.
During World War I, women took up jobs in factories to support the war, as well as taking more active roles in the war than in previous wars. After the war, even the more restrained National American Woman Suffrage Association, headed by Carrie Chapman Catt, took many opportunities to remind the President, and the Congress, that women's war work should be rewarded with recognition of their political equality. Wilson responded by beginning to support woman suffrage. In a speech on September 18, 1918, he said,
We have made partners of the women in this war. Shall we admit them only to a partnership of suffering and sacrifice and toil and not to a partnership of right?
Less than a year later, the House of Representatives passed, in a 304 to 90 vote, a proposed Amendment to the Constitution:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any States on Account of sex.
The Congress shall have the power by appropriate legislation to enforce the provisions of this article.
On June 4, 1919, the United States Senate also endorsed the Amendment, voting 56 to 25, and sending the amendment to the states.
Illinois, Wisconsin and Michigan were the first states to pass the law; Georgia and Alabama rushed to pass rejections. The anti-suffrage forces, which included both men and women, were well-organized, and passage of the amendment was not easy.
When thirty-five of the necessary thirty-six states had ratified the amendment, the battle came to Nashville, Tennessee. Anti-suffrage and pro-suffrage forces from around the nation descended on the town. And on August 18, 1920, the final vote was scheduled.
One young legislator, 24 year old Harry Burn, had voted with the anti-suffrage forces to that time. But his mother had urged that he vote for the amendment and for suffrage. When he saw that the vote was very close, and with his anti-suffrage vote would be tied 48 to 48, he decided to vote as his mother had urged him: for the right of women to vote. And so on August 18, 1920, Tennessee became the 36th and deciding state to ratify.
Except that the anti-suffrage forces used parliamentary maneuvers to delay, trying to convert some of the pro-suffrage votes to their side. But eventually their tactics failed, and the governor sent the required notification of the ratification to Washington, D.C.
And so on August 26, 1920, the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution became law, and women could vote in the fall elections, including in the Presidential election.

How do you not smother someone?
Commonly represented by females as a sign of dominance or superiority, smothering is primarily a sexually orientated action which can involve a male, or female as the 'victim'.
The physical aspect of smothering can be achieved and is usually adopted by sitting on a person's face, typically nude or without underwear, generally in a reverse manner in which the victims nose is fully encapsulated between the buttocks, providing a sense of power for the person on top.
Also by squashing their nose up it tends to turn them on.Feel good.
This quotation is from Shakespeare's "Sonnet 116":
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which altereth when it alteration findeth,
Or bendeth with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looketh on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love altereth not with his brief hours and weeks,
But beareth it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
The meaning of the phrase in question, "Love is not live which altereth when it alteration findeth" simply means that it's not REALLY love if it changes when it encounters difficulties. This poem is eloquently showing how divorce makes a mockery of the wedding vows, which pledge unconditional love.
Shakespeare itemizes what people who are really in love do not do: they don't change. Their love remains strong even when they face difficult situations. Along the same line, he describes what true love IS: it's constant, unmovable, reliable. It's not weakend by difficulty or hard times.
Finally, love is not bound by youth and beauty. Your loved one will remain true even when you're no longer young and pretty. Love is forever.
What is the difference between a limerick and a sonnet?
A limerick has fewer lines than a sonnet because a limerick has only five lines with a rhyme scheme that goes A, A, B, B, A whereas a sonnet has fourteen lines and the rhyme scheme goes A, B, A, B, C, D, C, D, E, F, E, F, G, G.
A limerick and a sonnet have a different meter. A limerick's meter is an amnibrachaic trimeter (weak, strong, weak, weak, strong, weak, weak, strong)in lines 1, 2 and 5 and a sonnet's meter is an iambic pentameter (weak, strong, weak, strong, weak, strong, weak, strong, weak, strong) in each line. For example, 'I all alone beweep my outcast state' is a line from a sonnet whereas 'There was an Old Man with a beard' is a line from a limerick.
Limericks are often in the third person wheras sonnets are often in first person. Limericks usually have a humorous subject while sonnets mostly have a serious subject.
a sonnet is a 14 line poem in which you have to follow a pattern the lines are grouped in three quatrains (with six alternating rhymes) followed by a detached rhymed couplet which is usually epigrammatic.An epigram is a short poem, often with a clever twist at the end or a concise and witty statement.

Who does shakespeare address his sonnets to?
The dedication to "Mr. W.H." in the published version of the sonnets was not signed by Shakespeare, but by Thomas Thorpe (T.T.) which some people have taken as an indication that the edition was published without Shakespeare's knowledge or consent. Thus the Mr. W.H. thing probably was not Shakespeare's dedication anyway. What is more, there are a plethora of theories about who this W.H. person might have been, many of which are more plausible than the Wriothesley theory which suffers from the fact that his initials were not W.H. and he was a titled person and therefore would never in a million years be addressed as "Mr." In any case, this confusing dedication has nothing to do with the unidentified people to whom the sonnets were actually addressed, identified strictly through internal evidence as the "Fair Youth" and "Dark Lady". There is plenty of wild speculation over who those people might have been as well.
He dedicated his sonnets to Mr. W.H (full name is Henry Wriothesley)
there are 2 main sequences of the sonnets:
sonnets 1-126 that are addressed to a younger man (and this sequence is called
the Fair Youth sequence)
sonnets 127- 153 are different and more sexual and talk about women
(this sequence is called the Dark Lady sequence)

What number sonnet is 'shall I compare thee to a summer's day'?
Sonnett No 18 It's wonderful - take a minute to read it: Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate. Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May, And summer's lease hath all too short a date. Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines, And often is his gold complexion dimm'd; And every fair from fair some time declines, By chance, or nature's changing course, untrimm'd; But thy eternal summer shall not fade Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest; Nor shall Death brag thou wand'rest in his shade, When in eternal lines to time thou grows't: So long as men can breathe or eyes can see, So long lives this, and this gives life to thee.
