In addition to her research, her adventures abroad to Italy, Greece, Ireland, England, Turkey, Israel, Africa, and the American Southwest allowed her to bring artifacts, pictures, and experiences to her teachings in the classroom. She continued to pursue her passion and did graduate study in religion and philosophy in Rome, Italy. This opportunity brought her to the core of Christian art, literature, and thought. She then taught Scripture at the high school and adult education levels which led to her receiving a doctorate in philosophy of religion at McMaster University in Ontario, Canada along with an appointment at Buffalo State in New York. She created the courses Christian Thought, New Testament, Writings of John, and Women in Global Religion, in addition to teaching An Introduction to Religion, and World Religions class.
Hello, Andrea. This is Marie E. and, I will be your e-structor who will help you in your paper. Shall we start now? *Strengths of the essay: I like that you included dialogues in your work. Here’s an example: “Caitlin called and said, “My Mom’s dead!” Dialogues are important because they help your readers visualize your experience.
The repetition of this quote expresses her child’s voice, and associates with the parents in the listeners, enabling a common ground where the audience can understand the viewpoint of the speaker. This connection she has built is then used to as a guide for change in attitude towards environmental issues. “Did you have to worry about these little things when you were my age?” This accusatory tone reinforces her power of distinction in her voice through her environmentalist voice. This rhetorical question changes the mindset of the audience by evoking thought and realisation among the listeners about the direction of which
Running Head: FARM GIRL 1 Assignment 1.2: Summary and Personal Response (Farm Girl-Revision Option) Renee Maynard FARM GIRL 2 In this essay entitled “Farm Girl” written ever so diligently by Jessica Hemauer. Who brings her memoir to life by clearly and specifically detailing how her life growing up on a farm has affected her, and molded her into the woman she is today. One of my favorite quotes in this essay is stated early in her story when she says, “It seems our daily lives operate in shifts, not like a real family” (Hemauer, pg.84). That statement for me stood out as a strong and bold sentence. It's certainly not a sentence she could communicate to her parents.
The metaphorical use of food in this film occurs frequently, suggesting significance. In Fried Green Tomatoes emotional relationships and underlying meanings and truths are revealed, not directly, but through the movie's metaphorical and symbolic use of food. Starting off, the first example I noticed from the movie was the use of food expressing emotional insight into the character of Evelyn. Her habitual candy bar consumption is a method she uses to coup with her failing marriage, insecurities of growing old, and general dissatisfaction with life. This next line comes from an online review written by Janet Maslin, titled “Fried Green Tomatoes”, found on the NYT website explaining “The film's overstatement is such that Evelyn has to appear in flowered frocks and stiff hairdos, nibbling candy bars and gazing longingly at her equally rotund husband, to establish the fact that she is unhappy.” This line re emphasizes how Evelyn’s eating habits suggest her current unhappy state.
As they enter the cafeteria Janis says “Here’s a map of North Shore…Where you sit in the cafeteria is crucial”, leaving Cady anxious when she is trying to find a seat at lunch. As she is walking by “the plastics” or the in-group call her over to sit down. As she gets to know the plastics they begin to introduce her to The Burn Book. This book is a perfect example of prejudice and discrimination. Prejudice is hostile or negative feelings about people based on their membership in a certain group.
Causes and effects of alienation of “Miss Brill” and “Shame” Katherine Mansfield’s short story “Miss Brill” was written about an old English teacher’s sudden awareness of her position in the small society that she enjoyed for a long time. Dick Gregory’s narrative “shame” was about his shame at school and in later life. Both of these stories were written about people’s sudden live changes due to other’s words towards them. Miss Brill was an old English teacher who lived in a “little dark room—her room like a cupboard”. (18) However, she enjoyed going to the park where people of all ages enjoyed and played a part.
When describing their journey through the mountains, she even adds dialogue to her canine, Jackson’s proceedings. For example, she explains Jackson’s attitude, ‘That morning he was impatient with me. “Miles to go, Mom,” he said over his shoulder’ (279). Her explanations of her animals are quite humorous at times. The woman even made her dogs peanut butter and honey sandwiches, and let them sleep inside her bivvy sack.
