This method is also found throughout the whole letter so that the readers can build trust towards Morrison.

By feeling this way the reader is more likely to understand and consider her point of view.

Deborah Tannen’s “You’re Wearing That?” is an insightful, refreshing ways mothers and daughters speak the same language and yet misunderstand what they are really trying to say to each other. Mothers and daughters, most of the time, have a lot in common. The only problem is when one says something the other takes it as an offense or big misunderstanding and gets mad at the other.

Sometimes we must ask ourselves, “What is gender?” Girls are taught by their family members and peers to act in feminine ways. As the child grows, it learns that certain expressions of its personality are appropriate to its sexual label, while others are not. Although times have changed, stereotypical images and ideas of women can still be found. For instance, women are known to be more intuitive, emotional, and submissive.
On top of that, she has published numerous scholarly journals and national magazines. Some of her books are The Alchemy of Race and Rights and Seeing a Color-Blind Future: The Paradox of Race (Williams 794). So she is recognized by many people already and can be deemed trustworthy because of her extensive background.

It is specifically directed to a young female audience, with the purpose of creating consciousness and awareness to these girls and showing them that no matter their age or their gender, there is always a way to fight for rights and equality.

It was a really interesting exercise because I had the chance of combining what I felt with Malala’s point of view.
