In the article ‘Why we all need to eat red meat’ by MasterChef’s Johan Torode, he uses various methods and techniques in order to persuade the reader of the advantages of eating red meat. The first thing noticeable about this article is the bold typography used initially to capture the attention of the intended audience. Another factor that has the same immediate effect is the quote ‘MasterChef’s Johan Torode’ in the title, his name is easily relatable to food and the famous food programme which therefore implies he knows what he is saying when it comes to the topic of red meat. The title’s set up is also very blunt and to the point, ‘why we need to eat red meat’ which makes the reader think that John Torode’s opinion is really a fact. The next element that stands out is the picture of a women eating red meat, the picture looks appealing and will encourage the reader to eat it and directly underneath is a bold quote that names all the positives about eating what you can see in the picture, “A steak kebab is not only a good source of protein but contains essential vitamins and minerals, too”.
The novel opens with Sasha meeting the main narrator, Louie, and she soon learns the extent of his power; “impressing him was everything.’ Sasha’s power comes from his personal sense of self confidence and strength, as the reader sees him ‘glare like a wolf’ at anyone who might threaten a blind man on the train. Sasha’s power is not endless, however, as he is only as strong as the friends around him. When Louie points out how much he needs his friends, it is clear that his power is built on respect, fear and association with the right people. Sonya Hartnett presents us with Louie as our main narrator, an eighteen year old girl who has been bullied and longs to be powerful. She starts off as “just a baby” and ends up discovering who she really is and what she is capable of.
She agrees even though she can’t let go of her past. You first see greed and power in the movie when Ace catches two men cheating in a game of cards in his casino. Ace and his men take the first man to a back room and find a device on him that would signal the other man playing. He explains to the man that no one will cheat him out of money. He then has one of his men smash the hand he uses to play.
It takes courage to earn power to become a leader. George Orwell’s purpose in Animal Farm is that cleverer ones are the one with power but can always start to become greedier and greedier which would build to corruption. But it is you giving enabling someone to control you such as Old Major’s speech. “We are born, we are given just so much food as will keep the breath in our bodies, and those of us who are capable of it are forced to work to the last atom of our strength; and the very instant that our usefulness has come to an end we are slaughtered with hideous cruelty (Orwell 3).” What this quote points out is that you are the one who has power over everything and when you are ‘slaughtered with hideous cruelty’ it is you giving others the power to control you. Since the pigs were the ‘brainworkers’, they start to gain more and more power subsequently through leadership which then corrupts them.
They automatically cringe in disgust and lash out at their grandkids for listening to “noise” or for rotting their brains on video games when they go into the next room and sit in front of a TV for hours on end watching Dr. Phil and Dancing with the Stars. A different approach in book 4 of Gulliver’s_ Travels_ satirizes human nature at its most basic form. In a land governed by intelligent horses known as the Houyhnhnm, humans are wild animals called Yahoos who are savage unclean creatures. Near the end of the book Gulliver develops this strong distaste for humans due to the years he lived with the Houyhnhnm. Upon making his way back home he can hardly look at his own family and tries to live his life as a horse.
The first idea is that man is a parasite, a being who ‘consumes without producing’, lazy and weak. This sets up the central theme of injustice that such a creature should be lord of the strong and productive animals. This is reinforced by appealing to each individual set of animals. First the cows, who have given thousands of gallons of milk, then the hens who have laid eggs, then the horses and their foals, then the pigs, then the dogs. This makes the speech much more personal towards the animals as it makes it easier for them relate to because part of the speech is directed at them.
Jack’s inner savagery begins to show almost right away. He wants to be rescued, like all the boys, yet he wants to be able to kill a pig. He wants to be able to get away with killing another living thing without punishment from elders. The fire is another comfort to the boys, and it is a means of a small, yet secure part of civilization, a hope that they could be rescued. “We can help them find us.
Men may have enforced the oppression of the female gender but it could not have been done without the aid of women in upholding the illusion that the patriarchy is based on. If the truth of this illusion could be found, ‘if she begins to tell the truth, the figure in the looking-glass shrinks,’ the strength of this patriarchy would suffer. Inevitably, Woolf demonstrates that women and men are inextricably connected, as the men cannot function without the misconceptions of women. Ultimately the patriarchy remains because it is a constructed reality that is accepted as norm and thus exists unchallenged by society. ‘England is under the rule of a patriarchy.
She cries out in protest but manages to catch it. Then she laughs breathless...]" Here William used the meat as a symbol which describes the sexual connection that Stella and Stanley have for each other. It also means that Stella accepts Stanley the way he is. Later she confesses to Blanche her sister that she cries when Stanley is not around which shows she is crazy about him. The protagonist Blanche Dubois enters the play.
Many people think that D.H. Lawrence’s short stories are off-puttingly masculine. They get this interpretation due to the position of male characters in Lawrence’s short stories. At the time they were written the male was generally the dominant figure within society and relationships. However, I do not agree that Lawrence’s stories are off-puttingly masculine as I believe that in many of the stories the women have an undeniable control of the men’s actions and behaviour. This would suggest that women had a great deal of power within Lawrence’s stories, and prove they are not completely male dominated.
