Why I Hate Writing Donald Bernard Walker Strayer University ENG 090 Professor Jadah Fort Why I Hate Writing Some people can express themselves very well on paper. I find it very difficult to express myself in writing. Let’s take my subject “Why I Hate Writing” hum I am drawing a blank here. I hate writing because it is hard, boring, and a lot of the times I cannot come up with ideas, words and in most cases a topic. Oh, I have got an idea now – I just do not like to write!
For example, unacceptable thoughts and feelings, your own voice and "bad writing" (106). Usually, in writing a paper there really isn't a need for it, except for maybe the voice on occasion. According to Peter Elbow, these are the main problems that are associated with editing, but he goes
In Jacobean times women were seen as inferior and even in the Victoria era, thus she required external forces to crush her conscience to allow her to fulfil her ambition. Yet she is afraid her feminine qualities will prevent her from achieving the murder of King Duncan. Which would gradually lead to her mental breakdown. Regicide was considered a mortal sin in Jacobean times, one God couldn't forgive. Whereas Browning’s protagonist in The Laboratory sustains her feminine qualities this is reflected in the line “The colours too grim” in which she is referring to her dislike of the colour of poison and that it needs to be 'brightened' up in order to convince her victim to drink it.
He treats her with little regard and believes that she is a “breeder of maggot” This is also evident when Hamlet says to her, “ I say we will have no more marriages. Those that are married already, all but one, shall live; the rest shall keep as they are. To a nunnery go” (3.1.150) Here Hamlet almost commands Ophelia to go to a nunnery, suggesting that she, as a sexually corrupt female, needs improvement. Therefore, Shakespeare’s use of language, illustrated by words adopted by male characters, not only identitifies how women are marginalised, but their ill-sentiments towards
Clytaemnestra makes no gains and wins no rewards following the trial; emotionally, she may very well be in a worse state than she was before. Consider what she says to the Furies shortly before the trial: “I go stripped of honour, thanks to you / along among the dead.... / I wander in disgrace, I feel the guilt, I tell you, / withering guilt from all the outraged dead!” (235.99-104). Her suffering does not end with the dropping of the final curtain. In the end, Clytaemnestra fails to do anything of importance to herself. (It’s true that she causes the trial to unfold, but this does not benefit her at all.)
His unique style of writing in stream of consciousness is very effective because it accurately demonstrates what the characters in the novel are feeling and thinking. Faulkner believes society assumes things of people and that they have no right to do so. The reader knows this because of him saying “it's the way the majority of folks is looking at him when he does it.” It's not that someone is crazy, it's the way people look at the actions of someone and society accuses that someone of being socially
Secondly, Atwood critiques the social structures and attitudes surrounding femininity. She does this by exposing the contradictions of expectations of women within the patriarchal regime of Gilead. However, Atwood does criticise feminism for its tendency to alienate people, with the example of Offred’s mother. This essay will argue that these criticisms don’t stop the novel from being a feminist work. In order to express her feminist ideas, Atwood uses criticisms of Offred and Janine’s complacency juxtaposed with positive feminist role models like Moira.
Atwood’s portrayal of a dystopian society criticizes the present day attitudes towards women and the exaggerations depicted in the novel can be the result of the inequality between men and women today. The Handmaid’s Tale is a novel that covers the backlash of feminism. It depicts how common attitudes towards women are brought down in an extremist way. “In order to offer women “freedom from” they must give up their “freedom to”... the only offered alternatives to rape and exploitation.” (Prattas 5) In the novel, the Pre-Giledean society was considered to be a dystopia for women where they feared physical and emotion violence. The current Giledean society is to protect them from such fear and is actively promoted through re-education centres run by Aunts.
The final line “Who could not say, ‘Tis pity she’s a whore?” can be seen as directed towards her and so she is blamed for everything that has occurred. Throughout the play she is seen as quite powerful and headstrong by refusing many marriage proposals and being quite stubborn in doing so. However, she is reduced to a weak being however upon dying which is a culmination of her passions. It is perceived that women are a danger to men and to society as a whole and so Giovanni’s actions are to be blamed not on himself, but on Annabella because of the beauty she possesses. Giovanni states that Annabella’s “lips would tempt a saint” thus showing the corruption her presence inflicts upon even the supposed innocent of men.
Amal Kassir in 'This is For the Ladies' speaks about the perceived concept of feminism that is prevalent in the 21st century and expresses her disapproval of it. Feminism basically advocates equality of men and women.However,today the notion of feminism is perceived different.To be a feminist/empowered woman is to bare your skin,dress well,talk well,and most importantly,be flirty,according to Amal Kassir. Amal Kassir through her poem expresses her abject disapproval over how the idea of feminism is painted which according to her is only degrading the females. She further questions the patriarchal society that under the guise of supporting women empowerment is suppressing and oppressing the women and makes a stand stating thatshe is 'not drowning in any man's drool'. She belive that by succumbing to the 'idealised' image of a woman that in reality does not give women the liberty of having a mind of their own,the women are being disrespectful to themselves.
