vs. Sloppy1. Does Britt favor one group over the other? Which details or statements support your response? Mrs. Britt most definitely favors “sloppy” people. She seems to be defending sloppy people by explaining their behaviors and trying to rationalize their actions to the rest of the world.
Wow, upon hearing this I had to read it again. I have discovered a number of possible reasons as to why such a negative reaction, to such a positive story, might be. All of which I think are silly and none of which I give any validity to. Though, I will cite these possible reasons as I understand them to be. I will be adding, when I deem necessary, my own bias opinions and anti-feminist rhetoric.
Duffy’s clever use of enjambment starts off the second stanza slow but soon picks up the pace; further emphasizing this uneasy road that leads to foreign land. Duffy begins to feel ostracized as the one thing that distinguishes her best is considered wrong, her accent. A bit of culture shock is experienced, practices which she deems odd, are acceptable and common. “I want our own country”; it is interesting how Duffy uses the pronouns ‘you’ and ‘I’. She refers to herself in the 3rd person to address her concerns and relate to her readers; she uses the 1st person to express personal statements.
She then ends this part of her article with a total change of tone saying “When someone lies, someone loses.” Which seems to be to appease anyone she may have insulted with the phrase we all lie. Isn’t that still a lie? Or did Ericsson simply have a change of heart in the middle of her article? The 10 different ways we lie she lists as following: delusion, which she classifies as a cousin of dismissal and one of the most powerful lying tools because it filters out information that may contradict what we want to believe. The tendency to see
As there is no "giants" in our mists, it is likely that Anne has had a poor education as a child and is It is evident that , Anne's naive qualities are what drives her action's in this book and will ultimately play a part in her demise. In addition, Anne's honest and heartfelt qualities make her vulnerable to the deceptive eye. For instance, “His hands ran frantically over my body" (Hooper 40).This quote implies that, although she had not known it yet, Anne was being exposed to the ultimate deception. It had also been noted that prior to going to jail, Anne had never been so far away from the people the she knew and loved. This unfortunate fact made Anne extremely selfless and vulnerable against the rest of the world.
Woolf Critique Virginia Woolf’s quote “Money dignifies what is frivolous if unpaid for.” stood out before this viewer even understood what she meant. Writing only for herself or even as an outlet for her creativity meant people would in effect write her off. This particular presentation was very well put together, in that the background was soft and not a distraction, yet it was that of an intellectual atmosphere. Eileen Atkins was a splendid mix of anger, reserve and power, as she fluidly rolled through the script, capturing the emotional changes and subtleties necessary for this piece to retain its affectivness. The perceived differences from the video to the reading were, for this reader/viewer, the tone.
This expectation is something that as a modern day audience, we can compare with the 1981 creation of the ‘power woman’ and the present day equivalent, who in this case is Jeanine. Marlene’s view of her is critical, predominantly because of this lack of devotion and commitment she has towards her work. Her presumptions of Jeanine are clear from the start of the interview, doubting her job ‘sectary or typist?’ When Jeanine admits to being engaged, Marlene immediately assumes that Jeanine is incapable of following a successful and eventual position of significance in her career path because of the fact that she has created another main priority for herself. Churchill creates a clear sense of irony in the scene, as further on, Marlene speaks of a ‘marketing manager, ‘ he’s thirty five, and married…you won’t want to mention marriage there’, the facetious irony
In doing so, she focuses only on the benefits of one being monogamous and presents only, what is in her opinion, the social problems typical of polygamists. Her obvious negative opinions of promiscuity are evident when she says “Promiscuous people are not happy.” (Bell, 2004, line 62) and “They are never satisfied with what they have, but continue to strive toward something that is always out of reach.”
