Cofer later creates more imagery when describing the man who “sang a ditty to the tune of “La Bamba” and “stepped directly into [her] path” (373). Cofer’s sensory imagery conjures a feeling of being cornered and caged, unpleasant by anyone’s standards. The images highlight the persecution that is part of Cofer’s life, making them more relatable and once again inspiring empathy for the Latina woman’s plight. Cofer continues to reveal the degrading nature of Latina stereotypes by criticizing the relation of Latina women to food. Advertisements that utilize diction like “sizzling” and “smoldering” contribute to the “Hot Tamale” stereotype that Cofer discusses (372).

The class workshop and I performed and explored one of the scenes in the removalists which portrayed Fiona and Kenny fighting each other verbally. The scene starts off with Fiona doing the ironing and suddenly Kenny walks in and asks Fiona to make some dinner for him, she tells him no and he increasingly gets angrier at her. The class explored this scene by acting it out by having a comedy side to it which gave Kenny a witty side to his slouchy Australian self; this part of the scene represents a typical Australian male in society back in the 60s, funny but can be violent and harmful within his

Jim’s actions are exactly the opposite with what the reader is led to expect from the description of Jim and his fondness of meat. These ironic events depict Jim’s desperation, and unpredictable selfish nature. Jim believes that he can successfully deprive himself of eating meat in order to be satisfied sexually. The most ironic part of the story comes when Jim agrees to go with Alena on a “Turkey liberation mission”. While Alena thinks about “Turkey liberation mission”, Jim in contrast is thinking about inviting her to his mother’s for a turkey dinner.
Robert and Roger talk about Jack going to beat up one of their tribe members, “‘He got angry and made us tie Wilfred up.’”(159). They find this cruel act funny and exciting. Their humaneness is disappearing and they are taking pleasures in the most twisted things. Moreover, the disappearance of their humaneness leads them to killing people. Piggy went to talk to them in a civilized manner but they ended up killing him.
Let’s have a cocktail…We’d need hyacinths and shrimps! Let the wild rumpus begin” (Levy). The “rant” though a little funny sets up the grand backdrop of her current worries. However, having such an optimistic view on marriage and the excitement it comes with is suddenly too much wh whe en questions of its legitimacy pop up later. Levy’s “naivety” (in her own opinion at least)of what a real marriage is like is totally shattered by what a marriage should be in her own terms.
These differences augment the emotional reaction and the understanding that a modern audience may elicit from 'Macbeth Retold'. Ella Macbeth parallels Shakespeare's Lady Macbeth with the line "You're too full of the milk of human kindness." Juxtaposition is used immediately after as Ella continues to lecture Joe in a more modern-day dialect. In this scene, instead of reasoning with her husband, Ella humiliates him into murdering Duncan, giving today's viewers more of a reason to empathise with the chef. Irony is then introduced into the piece a few scenes later when Joe accidently breaks a bottle of milk and cuts his hand while cleaning it up.
Swift uses satire to point out a problem and then assert an insane and illogical fix in order to cure it. He uses arguments such as it’s a commodity everyone can produce in order to defend his plan. Swift says that the meat of these children could be sold in taverns like beef and it would be easily produced even by poor people. This plan is insane just like Larkin’s
Was hospitality an empty gesture in ancient Greece? You could look back to Circe, Calypso, and the suitors of the Odyssey, as they all point to one answer. Hospitality in Greece is a central value, however the most hospitable, or the people who take the most advantage of hospitality are often those with ulterior motives. Circe breaks hospitality when she invites men into her home to turn them into swines. Circe had invited Odyseeus’s crew into her home, she filled their bowls with a wonderful stew but “Once they’d drained the bowls she filled, suddenly she struck with her wand, drove them into her pigsties, all of them bristling into swine” (Homer 237, 261-263).
