Lambert John Aslarona 2nd Period November 6, 2014 Virginia Woolf's Intellectual Call to Arms for Women “How far can she fight for freedom without firearms?” “Virginia Woolf's Intellectual Call for Women” was a narrative essay written by Virginia Woolf during a war between Englishmen and Germans. Woolf wrote this essay to send a message to the people that women should also have the rights to have firearms for the war. Not only to fight with the men, but also to defend themselves from the enemies. Throughout the introduction of her piece, Woolf focuses in building her style on writing the essay. Woolf used many rhetorical strategies to establish an effective essay.
But there is another way of fighting for freedom without arms: we can fight with our mind” (936). Through this polysyndecton , the repetition of or signifies the need to take action. Through the rhetorical questions, women begin to compare the difficulty of peace. Woolf is trying to paint a picture of the war zone to bring an emotional connection with the audience. She writes, “A bomb drops.
The play Lysistrata shows the theme of anti-war through the precise work of symbolism, characters and word choice. Symbolism is shown very strongly throughout the whole poetic piece of Lysistrata. The main plot of the play is about the sex strike. The women withhold sex in order to get men to listen and to stop the war. This shows a primitive type of Women’s Rights; in such that they are speaking out, or in this case not having sex with their men, to get what they want.

I found ‘The Man I killed’ to be a particularly interesting story out of this book. I feel like it really goes to the heart of why the author feels he must write and get all these feelings out. He describes the body in vivid imagery, and he returns to it later on, in “Ambush”. He says: “I want to tell her that as a little girl she was absolutely right. This is why I keep writing war stories” (131) and then he goes on to talk about

It looked like they were trying to defeat the capitol and they succeeded. The other districts saw this suicide threat and have started a rebellion. I went and visited Katniss in her Victors’ Village home and informed her of the uprisings. I told her she has to prove to all of Panem that what she did was really driven by love, not rebellion, in order to stop the uprising in the districts.
Lady Macbeth has just been thinking that her husband is too weak willed to seize what she sees as rightfully his, the throne of Scotland. When she hears that King Duncan will be staying in her home, she says: 'Come, you spirits that tend on mortal thoughts, unsex me here, and fill me from the crown to the toe top--full of direst cruelty' (1.5). In other words, she longs to act like a 'man' and kill Duncan herself. Lady Macbeth goes as far as to invite demons, or spirits, to inhabit her, enabling her to commit this great evil
The character of Jack in Lord of the Flies serves to highlight the uneven cruelty and power distributed through society. His character depicts a battle between good and evil, this theme is one that was influenced by Golding's own experiences in World War two. Jack represents the breakdown in society and how the “blood thirsty”, savagery in human nature can cause the fall of man and lead to autocratic tribalism. Jack’s craving for power is made evident right from the beginning of the novel. when the boys decide that they “ought to have a chief”, Jack jumps at the chance with “simple arrogance”, and states that its because he is “chapter chorister”, and can “sing C sharp”,so in other words, for no valid reason at all.
“Who has decided-who has the right to decide…” she is referring to the poison being used. Carson uses that rhetorical questions to make her readers feel bad; in a way she uses the questions to attack the reader emotionally. Carson then goes to say “Does Indiana still raise any boys who roam the woods or fields… If so, who guarded the poisoned area to keep out any who might wander in…?” Carson uses the whole paragraph to get to her readers mentally. She uses
In the beginning of the essay Mitford uses a metaphor describing the process of embalming to a drama by saying “The drama begins to unfold.” The author does this to tell the reader that the process is long and dramatic in a certain way. Throughout her essay Mitford takes the reader through a journey. Her use of imagery gives the reader an idea of what or where they are for example in one of her paragraphs she describes the place of where the embalming occurs as a “the tiled and sterile look.” She says this to give the reader an image . The use of diction is crucial in this essay. The author uses complex diction but necessary because the essay is all about science.
