local govt and legislature

Part 1: Texas has always sought to leave the power with the people as much as possible, thereby limiting the power of the government. In the legislature, we have a part time legislature made up of the citizenry. Do you think this is still applicable and appropriate today or are problems so complicated that we need professional full time legislators? Why or why not? Be sure to use FULL Detail here.
Part 2: Examine the filibuster. First give me a clear explanation (i.e. a seven year old should be able to understand it) of what it is. Then tell me the pros and cons of it. Lastly, give me a good argument whether we should keep it or not; use examples past its use in the TX legislature to help your argument

A Dolls House Act 1

A Doll’s House Essay
Act 1

Judith Flanders says in her book The Victorian House that “Victorians thought that women who were independent were somehow incomplete, whereas we think the opposite – that without independence it is difficult to be a whole person.” (215).

The Victorian House: From Childbirth to Deathbed

Flanders argues that without independence it is impossible to be a whole person.

Write an essay in which you compare her statement to Ibsen’s message in his play . Explain how he uses the title of his play, his characters, and/or other devices in Act 1 to support your answer.

This is not about whether you agree or disagree with Flanders, it is about whether the author of “A Doll’s House” Henrik Ibsen would agree or disagree.

When you write think of your audience as someone who has never read the play. Explain things to them.

The plot summary should only be one sentence.

Your thesis statement should be placed at the end of the introduction.

You’ll need at least two quotes (evidence) per paragraph from Act I in order to support your thesis in the body of your essay.

The conclusion should restate your thesis and summarize your body paragraph(s).

How to write an introduction paragraph
For everyone struggling with writing their intro and thesis statement: the introduction is a formula: Introduce the text, one sentence plot summary, one sentence about womens’ roles in Victorian society, the quote from Flanders above then your thesis. In total your introduction should be 4-5 sentences.
