This statement is clearly sarcastic. The author does not want to let the subject of race go and she stresses it to the audience as many times as she wants to. This does this to support her other arguments in the article. The author
The introduction is well organized. It gives some background information relating to the link between women’s mental health and the oppression women are confronted with in health care practices. Due to the oppressive practices women endure in healthcare, the reader gets an understanding of why the feminist principles are being used more in health care practices and research as a remedy. During the introduction, the author briefly explains how she chose eight articles from nursing journals and examined key statements made from each of the eight authors that conformed to feminist criteria. This was helpful to the reader during the introduction in understanding what criteria the author was examining before reading the analysis.
Then, caseload midwifery and homebirthing are critically analysed, including definitions of each, the effects of these models of care on women and the advantages and disadvantages of each for women and midwives according to midwifery research. There are many consequences of a woman's choice of model of care and it could be the subject of more midwifery research to discover why women choose a specific model of care and how they would evaluate the outcome of that decision. However, this assignment aims to give only a brief survey of the caseload midwifery and homebirth models of care. Pregnant women are faced with an overwhelming array of options for their pregnancy, birth and postnatal care. However, while there may be many options, how can a woman choose which one is appropriate for her?
Angelou forgives herself for not loving herself, and begins to gain self-respect. She explains that “the real difficulty is to overcome how you think about yourself” (interview).

This suggests to readers that she is educated in this topic and knows what she is talking about. She argues what she does knowing everything about the issue and uses her knowledge to persuade the readers instead of forcing her view down their throats. She doesn’t present her argument with strong emotions or aggression, hinting to readers that she is professional. Griffin uses an anecdote, describing the story of Lee Taube who suffered a “long unhappy girlhood” and was “living in refuge” due to her
For the purpose of this assignment I will refer to the patient as Mary who’s care I was involved with whilst on placement on a medical ward. I have changed her name to protect her confidentiality which complies with Section 5 of the NMC Code of Professional Conduct (2002). I have chosen to write about Mary’s circumstances as I feel strongly that there appeared to be a lack of support between her social and medical needs. I have gained Mary’s consent to base this essay on her individual circumstances after explaining my intentions to her and assuring her confidentiality. I will focus this assignment on Mary’s two main problems which were her stump wound and the pain this caused, and the problems Mary was experiencing transferring.
The poem is about our perceptions of others because when you are reading the poem, you begin to mock Miss Gee’s life choices and appearance and then this is reinforced at the end of the poem when she is treated disrespectfully by the doctors and students. Auden uses a range of language that is extremely effective in revealing the story of Miss Gee. For example, in stanza three he uses the word, “serge” to explain the clothes that she is wearing which makes the reader feel she is trying to make herself look unflattering as “serge” is a heavy material that is thick and rigid. Auden also creates an interesting image of Miss Gee as he makes her appeal dull and unappealing as he describes the clothes she is wearing as “dark grey” which makes her appear as colourless and boring. He continuously makes her seem unappealing throughout the poem.
Parker directs this article at the reader and attacks the reader’s emotions through her harsh tone, graphic content, and lack of rhetorical appeal. The message that the writer is trying to show is told through the caustic comments and creative hints throughout her essay. If we look past the wall of emotion that she throws on the reader, she tries to explain the true meaning of poverty so that her audience does not feel sympathetic, but relatively understanding. She goes on using literary techniques, and emotions that grab hold of the reader’s heart, which is pathos. After reading Jo Goodwin Parker’s essay, I did not feel a pity but instead I felt respect.
This form of education also allows Jane to explore her imagination. At Gateshead, Jane is constrained by the form of education afflicted upon her by the Reed’s, she is educated to be humble and obedient, this is illustrated through her subservient character, “silence! This violence is all most repulsive.” By Mrs Reed telling Jane to “silence”, conveys that her aunt wants Jane to know her dependency, inferior status, and her little rights. The Reed family use hegemonic control upon Jane, to educate her to be submissive. This informal form of education places constraints upon Jane, as the authority of her aunt and cousins restricts her.
