The simplicity of such a statement is what makes it immensely powerful. The well-educated Mairs, attested to in line 16 ”it has an honorable history, having its first appearance in Lindisfane Gospel” uses her diction accordingly to her story. She applies distinctive and variant jargon in order to be understood. A rhetorical structure, by all means, is admissible to this genre of explanation. Mairs uses allegorical idioms such as ”my god is not a handicapper general, in order to equalize the great race of life.” to show her sense of humor yet convince herself to be crippled and not handicapped.
Apparently brilliant and with an excitement for learning, Phillis soon obtained an education that any free young woman from a well-off family of that time would envy. She became an avid student of the Bible and especially admired the works of Alexander Pope. Through Pope's translation of Homer, she also developed a taste for Greek mythology. On December 21, 1767, at the age of 14, Phillis Wheatley published her first poem in the Newport Mercury. This achievement came just six years after her arrival in America, without any prior knowledge of the English language.
In what way were the gods and goddesses important to the success of ‘The Odyssey’ as a story? I think that having the gods and goddesses involved in the story contributes to the success of it, as it creates a sense of realism for the readers, who lived in a polytheistic society dominated by gods and religion. This story may have possibly made them feel as if the gods really did exist and were watching over them everyday. My reason for saying this is due to the contribution they make towards Odysseus’ homecoming. Let me begin with Calypso.
One of Taylor’s main rhetorical strategies in his writing is his utilization of metaphor. In “Meditation One,” he discusses God’s plan and the ways that we are used in it. His use of metaphor paints a great picture for the reader. Taylor’s first metaphor comes in stanza two of “Meditation One.” It says, “For thine Elect, there rose a mighty Tide!” (Line 10). Edward Taylor is using the idea of running and overflowing water to describe love filling up heaven.
Her parents owned the local hotel in Fort Royal, Virginia, but they never had excessive amounts of money. Despite her family’s lack of money, Belle’s parents believed it was important for her to receive a good education. After Belle had completed some primary school at the age of twelve, she was shipped off to Mount Washington Female College at Baltimore. This school was an institute that taught girls to behave lady-like. At the age of sixteen, she had finished her schooling and was seen in society as a beautiful debutante.
Once the Tang Dynasty became established, Wu Shihou held a succession of senior ministerial posts including governor of Yangzhou, Lizhou and Jingzhou (modern day Jiangling County, Hubei Province). She was a strong willed child who refused to study needlework like most girls of the time. Instead, she was only interested in reading, from which she gained a wide political awareness. The Tang Dynasty was a time of relative freedom for woman. Since Empress Wu lived during that period of time, she was well educated at home.
We also learn in this section that Dido is pious, and respectful of the gods; she is building a “huge temple, rich with offerings”, which shows her to be morally upstanding, or put more simply, a good person. When Dido actually enters the book in person, there is more still to be learned of her. Virgil describes her as entering in all her beauty and goes further with this idea by describing her as “like Diana.” This simile also goes
She was also the first female writer encouraged and financed by a group of women. In 1775, Wheatley published a poem praising George Washington entitled To His Excellency, General Washington. The following year, she was invited to Washington’s home as thanks for the poem. Wheatley’s support for the American Revolution was obvious, but her poem’s publication wasn’t very big news; readers were too enthralled in the impending war. The death of John Wheatley in 1778 emancipated Phillis; she was officially a free woman.
OCCUPATION- Seamstress. “She possessed a skill that allowed her to feed her growing baby and herself, though there was less demand in New England for her work than there might have been in her homeland. Her profession was—and still is—almost the only art available to women: needlework.” (Chapter 5) RELEVANT PHYSICS TRAITS - The young woman was tall, large elegant figure, shiny dark hair, beautiful face, deep black eyes. FAMILY HISTORY - One known relative, her child named Pearl. “Strange it seemed to Hester, as she watched her daughter grow more beautiful and more intelligent every day!
When Jacqueline Lee Bouvier got married to Senator John F. Kennedy, she never imagined that she would go on to become First Lady. And that she would have such an impact not only in her husband’s decisions but also on the people of the world.
