Two examples of literature that can be seen as a form of protest are the book "A Vindication of the Rights of Woman: with Strictures on Political and Moral Subjects", written by Mary Wollstonecraft, and the pamphlet "A Modest Proposal" written by Jonathan Swif.

In "The Vindication of the Rights of Woman" Wollstonecraft protests about the condition of women in society and how to deny them full education, just like men received, left them submissive, childlike and devalued. For this reason, Wollstonecraft protested the society that put women in a place that was not theirs and deprived them of being independent and of having a bright future that they were able to have.

In "A Modest Proposal", Swift ironically and acidly criticizes the state's neglect and irresponsibility in caring for the most needy, leaving them totally destitute. In this pamphlet Swift suggests that poor children serve as food for the rich, so the government will have no responsibility to them and still prevent them from stealing out of necessity.

i think that the quotes in paragraph 11 contribute to the development of ideas because it provides a good reasoning of the central idea of the text.

the author is showing that it is the insatisfaction of basic needs that brings about the protests such as the strikes.if workers do not earn enough to buy food and feed their families and themselves in order to continue working, what is the use of working? besides, another message from the author is that of the owners of factories should be worried about ensuring their furure by having a second and third generation of workers in their industries.if they do not hear the workers demands, they will not have any more workers to make their pockets full.
