Thomas Jefferson and Elizabeth Cady Stanton did a fantastic job in each of their pieces however some words can lose the readers in the process and take their minds from understanding the point to trying to figure out what a certain word means, and with that you can lose attention from the audience. Although it was acceptable back then because the norms for speaking and vocabulary were much higher than they are now, Barry is just relating to today’s average vocabulary. His style is centered on being informal and conversational. He is able to inform his audience of the fallacies of his kitchen and living room appliances and talk to them like they’re human, rather than talking at them as if he was giving a lecture. People don’t have that long of an attention span.
By being able to understand her father without him using words shows how similar they are, and how much they understand each other. In a way, she is also categorizing her mother, and later on her sister, with the sinners, furthering her critical attribute. Another defining feature shared among the family members, is the prim and proper attitude towards everything. When the family is attempting to meet their sixty-one pound maximum requirement, Leah says even when they are “trimming” back it does not help them reach that constraint. Rather than saying, “cutting” back, as most would, she says the more gracious thing, offering insight into her upbringing as well as her parent’s parenting styles for the reader.
Whether it be nicks little bungalow or a fancy mansion literally coated in marble owned by Gatsby. The book seems to capture both the practical and wealthy mans home in a simple and direct way which further shows the books strong use of symbolism. The three main characters are already given such a great amount of description that is only given by examining and understanding their homes alone. Knowing these things about them its shows that the book has much to reveal about the characters and their
But he had a lot of trouble with that. Leonard ended up helping out the girl’s mother in her salon. He answered the phone and made appointments. He also tried to help give advice on
Her real dream becomes more visible only when looking past her outer appearance. Curley’s wife constantly craves attention and always wants someone to talk to. Her self-absorbed personality is shown when she says, *3. " An’ a guy tol’ me he could put me in pitchers . .
In this poem, belonging to place is the focus. Given that the poet and his family spent ‘nineteen years’ living in the same house in the same street in the same suburb, we assume that if he belongs anywhere, it is here. However, the poem speaks of a false or constructed sense of belonging. The poet tells us in detail of the day-to-day routine – ‘each morning, shut the house/like a well-oiled lock/hid the key… back at 5p.m… my parents watered plants… tended roses and camellias/like adopted children’ – however, a feeling of emptiness pervades over this whole scene. It is ‘hum-drum’.
There is always a light, comedic undertone to his writing, and he chooses topics that reflect that. He writes about things like having a fundraiser lunch for the Green Party, a Liberal bake sale he attended, and using a polling website to determine his son’s future activities and what to do about his thinning hairline. His use of humor is so broad that it’s sometimes hard to tell if the subject he’s writing about actually happened, or just played out in his head like his wife accusing him of having an affair with Beyonce after receiving a spam email from her entitled “I don’t usually email you” about Beyonce’s fundraiser for President Obama. A device that Stein uses on occasion is framing. He often begins his writing with (or has in the second paragraph) a joke that he refers to in the end of his work.
One of his poems in particular, “10 Mary Street”, represents change, as it shows his comparison of his life in Poland and Sydney, and how he and his family adapted to their new change of lifestyle. Peter also shows the feeling of he and his family Belonging there with in “10 Mary Street” tells the story of Peter living there for nineteen years, as it says in the first stanza, For nineteen years we departed, Each morning, shut the house like a well-oiled lock”. This shows the use of repetition. The language techniques that Peter Skryznecki uses in this poem are used to create a connection between him and the audience. Some of these techniques are similes, hyperbole, metaphors and personification.
Bread Givers, when I thought of the title the first image came to my mind was the 40’s – 50’s with an English atmosphere of horses and carriages, stone buildings, men in suits with tall hats wearing a pocket watch and holding a cane with their ladies and in middle of that a bakery or bread shop. I know its little weird. I think the true meaning to me is responsibility not for just the household but for oneself; also respect. In this book the title Bread Givers goes to two directions or path for these characters like Sara, independent woman and her elder sister Bessie who sacrifices her dreams and serves the family. Sara is the youngest daughter and plays the first person in the story.
Between the two responses, I don’t really see a difference in their answers. I believe it quite comparable to most people. Listening to my mom’s response finally got me thinking about what my expectations are and wondering if they will change. I honestly hope to become the woman she is, and I’d have the same goals in life for my family as she does. Fortunately my boss is also her boss and I’m basically at the point where she began as
