This information helps us understand the problem and her extensive knowledge on the problem. Florence gets into more detail torwards the 2nd paragraph about who exactly is the ‘breadwinner’ in America at that time. Kelley appears to pathos when she mentions, “the thousand little girls will be working…all the night through” (paragraph 3) because it’s crazy and emotional to hear that little girls will be working for 11-12 hours straight. Also, it can make people feel like they need to do something about it and they’ll join her cause. As she speaks, Kelley talks about the laws of New Jersey, Georgia, and Alabama and how some have restrictions on how long a child works and other don’t.
When it was modernized there were mistakes that resulted in changing her narrative that completely changed her story. It eventually was corrected. The website did a good job in giving her credit for being America’s first best-seller. Also, acknowledging that her narrative was mistakenly reprinted over time to the public that way public would be aware of knowing her true story. During my online research on Mary Rowlandson’s negative stereotyping of Native Americans, I came across this site: http://eng307womenwriters.wordpress.com/2013/03/03/the-captive-and-the-heathen-demonizing-native-americans-through-religion-in-captivity-narratives/.
This allows the reader to pick up on both the attitude and the contrast within Kelley's tone. Furthermore, Kelley utilizes the repitition of the line "While we sleep" consistently throughout the first half of her speech. One line in particular states "A little girl of six or seven years, just tall enough to reach the bobbins, may work 11 hours by day o by night, and they will do so tonight, while we sleep." (32-35) This line establishes an eerie tone as Kelley depictsa young girl, barely tall enough to spin thread around a bobbin, laboring tirelessly all night- while the rest of the world,
Through the excerpt ‘Cloudstreet’, Winton uses the technique of a metaphor to effectively highlight distinctively visual images to his audience, reinforce the role of women during the time of World War Two and the impacts of gambling. Through the line ‘the breeze comes through the window and stops the scene from turning into a painting’, the audience understands the awkwardness shared between Dolly and Rose. The metaphor clearly displays the stillness and softness of the hospital room where the mother and daughter do not speak. There is only a breeze blowing which avoids the room from becoming completely still. From this, it is evident that during that period, women stayed home to care for their children and perform home duties, while the men worked to provide for their families.
Richards creates a strong ethical appeal to her audience by stating her Democratic political background, views, and opinions. However, her ethical appeal is partially biased considering that she is speaking to a democratic audience, therefore she has to cater to the democratic values, which include equality and fairness. She strongly enforces her pathetic appeal by addressing the audience’s love for their families and children, hope for a better economy and future, and feelings of forgottenness by the government. Richards carefully incorporates two brief anecdotes into her speech to trigger emotional responses in her audience. In her second anecdote, Richards tells the audience that she hopes that her “nearly perfect” granddaughter Lily “…goes on to raise her kids with the promise that echoes in homes all across America: that we can do better, and that’s what this election is all about.” Richards’ strong pathetic appeal targets the audience’s hope for a better government in the future, which is why she
She uses onomatopoeia many times during the text to describe the “Rat-tat-tat-tat” sound that the gunfire made to make the reader better imagine what it was like to be there at that time. It also helps shift the audience toward her side of the coin so to speak, in that it creates a harsh reality of fear for the reader which is unexpected from such a small sound. Chang also uses climax in her writing during the chapters so that at the middle of every chapter the reader feels that they reached the worst of the violence and tragedy and it also hooks them into wanting to read more to find out what the next big thing is that will happen in the next chapter. Chang uses hypophora in the beginning of the text to inform the reader of what kind of things they will be educated on regarding the Rape of Nanking. This is shown to its full extent on page nineteen when she lists many of the questions first time readers might have about the
Where many people wanted the abolition of discrimination in the south, Eleanor was in a position to do something about it. She “cited statistics to back up her findings (about discrimination) barging into the president’s room during cocktail hour when he wanted to relax, bothering him about the issue during dinner, handing him memos to read late at night.” While Franklin Roosevelt thought his wife was “outspoken” and “persistent”, he did not want to anger the men in power in the south. However, partly because Eleanor was so persistent, he made sure to include rules against discrimination in his New Deal. This would have been and important fact that could contribute to Gould’s Chapter of the Roosevelt Administration because the chapter explains, “What gains were made in civil rights came largely from the demands of African Americans themselves or the prodding of the First Lady” (91). The book also further explains about how Roosevelt was, “a hesitant and vacillating presence so far as civil rights were
In passage one Eggs’ speech is spliced with the words of the other three major characters, Tom, Fi and Anglea. Tom emphasises the importance of promoting equality for people who are “born in some dead-end street - in Melbourne, or Sydney, or Afghanistan” while Eggs focuses on “a fair go for people with energy and vision”. Thus, even though they are not speaking face to face the scene takes on the feeling of a debate. Meanwhile, Fiona’s naivety is conveyed through her comment that “you girls are the future… tomorrow’s leaders who we will look to – to run things” while Tom insists that it is a “powerful and contemptuous class of men” like Eggs who are running the country. In contrast, Angela addressing her students suggests that Australia’s future is a multicultural one, as well as portrays Angela as Greek personification of multiculturalism.
“ The syntax of this part of the story shows that the author is trying to explain the character of Prynne and then compare it to what people believe she would look like. This is important because what it shows is that Prynne is not what the people seem to believe. The sin committed by Prynne, had an effect on her that was very different then the effect of the sin on Dimmesdale and Chillingworth. The effect of the sin on Prynne was very hurtful but the way she took the pain was by doing well in society again and by working and proving that the Scarlett Letter was nothing more than a letter. For a large majority of the story, the Scarlett Letter meant Adultery, but as time changed the letter a meant able.
“Too Much Pressure,” Colleen Wenke Counterargument Essay In her essay “Too Much Pressure,” Colleen Wenke discusses reasons why cheating has appeared to become more prevalent in American high schools along with reasons why she believes society has become more tolerant of it. She concludes that cheating is so much more widespread than it was in the past that it is now commonplace in most high schools and occurs on a daily basis, and that this represents a shift in values that society has undergone. Overall, her arguments are weak, and I will refute the logic she used to support these claims in three major areas. In the beginning of her essay, Wenke states that she saw cheating take place in her own high school quite frequently. It was a daily occurrence her for to see cheating going on in the school cafeteria, and that she often saw students passing around homework and exam answers.
