In contrast to Cindy’s new found self esteem, her mother seemed to uphold a strong lack of confidence in her daughter and in herself as well. By the same token, in the second article “The Thrill of Victory … The Agony of Parents”, the author presents the opposition through her mother. Jennifer Schwind’s mother appeared as an embarrassment to her publicly and emotionally. “In a voice so screeching that it rivaled fingernails on a blackboard, she told him that he was a disgraceful coach and that he should be ashamed of himself” (Pawlak 3). While in her mother’s eyes, she only supported her daughter and craved the absolute best for her child.
More and more we have been hearing the wishful voices of just such perpetual adolescents, the voices of women scarred by resentment not of their class position as women but at the failure of their childhood expectations and misapprehensions. "Nobody ever so much as mentioned" to Susan Edmiston "that when you say 'I do,' what you are doing is not, as you thought, vowing your eternal love, but rather subscribing to a whole system of right, obligations and responsibilities that may well be anathema to your most cherished beliefs." To Ellen Peck "the birth of children too often means the dissolution of romance, the loss of freedom, the abandonment of ideals to economics." A young woman described on the cover of a recent issue of New York magazine as "the Suburban Housewife Who Bought the Promises of Women's Lib and Came to the City to Live Them" tells us what promises she bought: "The chance to respond to the bright lights and civilization of the Big Apple, yes. The chance to compete, yes.
He makes the claim that half of her name comes from the famous Anne Hutchinson, who was banished from Massachusetts because of her beliefs. He goes on to explain, “Jackson’s allusion to Anne Hutchinson reinforces her suggestions of rebellion lurking within the women of her imaginary town.”(261) This goes back to the idea that the only people in the town who questioned the practice of the lottery were women. Many of Tessie Hutchinson’s characteristics, he claims, match those of a central character in one of Jackson’s earlier novels in which there is also a ritualistic game played. A major connection made by Oehlschlaeger is Tessie Hutchinson to Hester Prynne from Hawthorne’s “The Scarlet Letter”. He explains that both of these women “seek to kill a principle of rebellion that is specifically female, and based in sexuality.”(262) Through this he eludes to the idea that a goal of the lottery is to contain the disruptive force of female sexuality.
He “ranged freely over music, literature, art, and other subjects,” but could not agree with what was taking place at Coney Island. Critics like him who had visited the island could not deny the fun environment, but felt that when people arrived a Coney Island, they lost their mind and moral values. Not only were they concerned about human character; they were also concerned about the economy as a whole. Coney Island was changing America “from a ‘pain economy,’ where scarcity of resources demanded a struggle for subsistence, to a ‘pleasure economy,’ in which abundance was potentially available to all” (Kasson 90). People would avoid sin to be sure not to be punished by unemployment and bad economic standings, but without this fear, it was unknown what citizens of the United States would start acting like.
One of the major reasons why schools and colleges overlook the intellectual potential of street smarts is the fact that we associate those street smarts with anti-intellectualism. Regarding the topic of intellectualism, there seem to be two schools of thought. On one hand, many people believe that in order to be an intellectual individual, one should read, write, and discuss great literature and other aspects of classical education. On the other hand, there are those who believe that reading, writing, and discussing various topics that are not usually identified as “intellectual” such as cars and sports are in fact just as impressive. Graff argues that intellectualism is good, and that schools ought to encourage learners to read, think critically and write about their fields of personal interests like fashion, music or cars.
The penultimate sentence in this paragraph speaks of “Influencers disconnected from the seasoned wisdom of friends and mentors” (emphasis added). This wordplay relating the “connectedness” of social media to the reality of disconnection from people not only tickles the funny bone of literarily minded readers, but also adds to his logical case against the overuse of social media. Hansen also appeals to the credibility of others by referencing books and authors. This helps us see his intended audience more clearly as he does this. First he references a quote about the middle class from Alexis de Tocqueville “in his famous book Democracy in America” (emphasis added).
The most dominant impression Friedman’s essay portrays is fundamentals. Fundamentals of journalism and of life. These fundamentals Friedman writes that he and other students often recall to this day. Friedman remembers Steinberg instilled in her students the importance of hard work and discipline. She taught them the importance of presenting oneself professionally.
It’s to relay a message or opinion across from one to infinite amount of people. It’s shown in different ways and used in different dialects. One word to someone may mean something negative to someone else in another language. Knowing a different language other than your native language would help you out tremendously in either work or in your life at some point. Language is one of the most powerful tools anybody could have.
Quotations: What Makes them Relevant and Truthful? Quotations, the repeating of someone else’s statements or ideas, play a vital role in our speech patterns. When we agree with someone else’s thoughts in their entirety, we normally restate another’s words as ours. We also use other people’s words to enhance and emphasize our own thoughts. Sometimes we even use a quote to refute an idea.
