Daniel Rios Miss Martinez ERWC AP 23 September 2013 Period 4 Nancy Mairs Rhetorical Essay It is easy to look at an individual with a physical or mental disability and subconsciously devalue his or her existence. To express sympathy, society believes that it can justify its behavior by classifying these individuals with euphemisms such as “differently abled”. Nancy Mairs, however, is proud to be called a “cripple” as she demonstrates with her use of comparison and contrast, blunt diction, and confident tone, all of which explain why she truly believes that she falls under the “crippled” category. Mairs presents three distinct definitions of “disabled”, “handicapped”, and “crippled” and why she believes that she falls in the last. She believes that the word “cripple” accurately describes her because it’s a “straightforward and precise” way of stating that she’s “lost the full use of limbs.” On the other hand, “disabled” implies an “incapacity, physical or mental” and “handicapped” is defined as being “put at a disadvantage.” The dissimilarity between the three words is crucial to Mairs’ presentation of herself as individuals have a tendency to categorize “disabled”, “handicapped”, and “crippled” under one brand of rejection.

This shows the immediate and infinite love that Jackie shows towards people. However, when Jackie actually mets Kyle’s mom for the first time, she is crying hysterically and even though Jackie has a deep hatred towards her, she comforts her. She knows that she is in a difficult place at that time and puts her feelings against her in the closet for a later date. Jackie is one of
In the beginning she is bitter towards her, and isn't afraid to show it no matter what her dad thinks. Later on, she starts to regret her past words and says, "Several times I came across letters dealing with the subject "mummy" in such a hotheaded way and I was quite shocked" (pg 127). Anne begins to rethink her childish remarks and realizes what her relationship towards her mother lacks and learns to accept it instead of changing it. She becomes more tolerant with her mother and makes most of the little relationship they have. Little is exactly what Anne thinks of Peter in the beginning of her diary.
The therapy however does not promote the idea of allowing the woman to actually be in contact with the significant other that was the cause of the abuse because it is recognized that this may open the door for a repeat the past behavior; that start the cycle of abuse all over again. The biggest focus of the use of forgiveness therapy is to help the women who have been abused to not have feeling or resentment towards their former partner as well as diminishing the desire of the women to want to exact revenge. Coupled with other therapy techniques, the clinician will promote positive behaviors such fostering god will and promoting forgiveness; they do so by integrating the traumatic experience of the abuse with good moral choices that will negate the individual from repeating the abuse pattern or falling into bad behavior. Also the therapy helps to decrease and negate other behavior that often comes with abuse such as anxiety, depression as well as low self-esteem. Women who were subjects in the study on forgiveness therapy were separated from their romantic partner/spouse for at least two years.
She possesed wit, and reading was of her favorites. Beauty and outward appearance was not something she strived for because she possessed the thought that she was unattractive. Most would think, how does this make her any better of a person? Well, looking at the things she encountered, she learned a lot. Always studying and doing work made her very smart, a trait that most praised.
My mother spoke in normal Trini dialogue, so I would constantly hear phrases such as “Do not cut you nose to patch you bottom” and “If you see you neighbor house catch fire wet yours”. To some of my friend my mother had no idea what she was talking about and should maybe work on her English, but to me she spoke clear and understandable English. I can relate to Tan in this way, because many people did not understand her mother and assumed her grasp on English was very weak, when it was actually the opposite. Over the years, I have noticed how my mother’s dialogue has rubbed off on me. I constantly find myself speaking in the island dialogue while at home, but the second someone calls or visits, I am able to switch into a more proper English dialogue with my American friends.
The image of this young girl is immediately apparent in Anne’s first diary entry. The reader straight away feels like they are in the position of being Anne’s friend she states; “I hope I will be able to confide everything in you and I hope you will be a great source of comfort and support.” This however proves to be false. Anne’s refutation of the happening world events causes her to befriend her diary. This naïve girl is further demonstrated through her childish approach to her families’ need to go into hiding saying “That was it. May these sombre words not come true for as long as possible”.
