A. Rose Miller Period 5 11/21/2012 Lady’s Dressing Room Essay “A Lady’s Dressing Room” and Montagu’s Response The poem, “A Lady’s Dressing Room” is of a crude sort of off-color humor. I find it repulsive, in-your-face, and indecent. Lady Mary Wortley Montagu’s response was certainly understandable. The many insults she wrote toward men were justified considering what Jonathan Swift had wrote about women.
She uses different numbers and awards to show how devoted the shows fans are and how well the show is actually doing. Peacocke talks about her own struggle with the shows offensive humor but then now she realizes the use of humor in the jokes. The author uses different segments of the show to show how although the jokes are, at first glance, offensive the hidden meaning is simply "pointing out the weaknesses and defects of U.S. society in a mocking and sometimes intolerable way." (263). Antonia Peacocke uses short parts of from different authors to shape her argument, agreeing with some and pointing fun at others.
In the hilarious essay "Shitty First Drafts," Anne Lamott defeats the myth of the beautiful first draft by explaining the sheer ugliness of the first draft. From the start, it is clear she is mindful of a prominently youthful, student-based audience. Lamott mixes her humor throughout the paper in little bits and pieces, which seemed to help convince the reader that everyone writes shitty first drafts. She writes it in a very informal tone, which really connects to the reader in this situation in a much better way than a formal tone would. Going along with this, she also 'lowers' herself and sees through the audiences perspective.
The dramatic irony in ‘The Yellow Wall-Paper’ not only adds to the story’s horror, it also creates the illusion that readers have power over the plot and that ideas presented in the story come from the themselves rather than from the author. This final effect—hiding the origin of ideas—is what allows Gilman to present her beliefs on marriage as if they were the reader’s own
In this paragraph, Brady creates a humorous, sarcastic tone in her essay. She creates this tone by including an interjection saying “altogether incidentally” showing her sarcastic tone. 2. By repeating the clause “I want a wife” at the beginning of the sentences, Judy emphasizes her tone, and explains the roles of both a man and a woman in marriage, stresses how much work being a wife was in the 1970’s, and how wives weren’t appreciated as much as they should have been. 5.
Steinbeck makes the reader conflicted on how they feel about her throughout the novel until and after her death. At the start of the novel our first impressions of Curley’s wife is shared with the other men on the ranch; in a negative way. The reader dislikes her as she is interpreted as being flirtatious, craving attention and provocative. Our first reference of her is at the start where the ranchmen talk about her. “Well I think Curley’s married…a tart.” Steinbeck used the word tart, as it is an undermining term to say that a woman is promiscuous at that time.
However, Sophocles left the impression also that the plethora of individuals that surrounded King Oedipus played a major role into his demise; whether directly or indirectly Jocasta his wife/mother greatly influenced the outcome of this play. Jocasta often portrayed throughout this play as being one that is bold, confident essentially a strong willed character. However towards the end of this play the reader comes to a shocking event as she is found dead as a result of suicide which too many show the ultimate sign of weakness. Which leaves the reader scratching he/she head, how can such a presumably strong character exhibit such a great deal of weakness. Was Jocasta truly as strong as she was portrayed?
Sentences ans sections of poems are repeated which gives the impression of Hinley slowly losing her mind throughout the poem. Duffy uses language very effectively, in parts of the poem almost creating a sense of sympathy for Hinley at the same time as making her seem evil. When reading the poem Duffy’s opinion of Hinley is hard to understand. She seems to sympathies with Hinley in some areas of the poem however in other areas the poem emphasises how evil Hinley is. During the first stanza Duffy creates the impression that anyone could become a murderer and this creates the impression that she seems interested in Hinley especially since it is stereotypically men who commit crimes like the Moors Murders .
Hester Prynne: A Casualty in her own Erotic War. In The Scarlet Letter, Hawthorne’s depiction of Hester Prynne’s inner turmoil can be viewed and deliberated on in numerous ways. As the reader myself, Hester’s inner turmoil is given off as that when she is denying her secret of Dimmesdale being her lover, she wishes she could deny that anything between them ever happened. Whenever Hester would think about her sin of adultery, Hester would in turn feel sick to her stomach. To me it looks as though Hester believes that Dimmesdale and herself could be together, but will not be able to on this earth before they die.
Like how rhetorical questions are almost mean, it was funny to me in this sense. It was also tense in the before and after paragraphs so it was like a type of tension release and whatnot as well. Though all of them argue afterwards again, I don’t think it was “appropriate” but Aphrodite is a “hateful-hag” in the story. Symbol: Conflict – problems throughout the story. Example: Chapters
