She describes NBC's way of dismissing Ann Curry as "a lousy way to treat a lady" ('Today' serves 'goat' Curry, Peyser). She also refers to Estiatorio Milos as an "upscale chow house" (Like sheep to the $laughter, Peyser) . Her little use of sophisticated word choice gives her articles a more casual encounter. Furthermore, Peyser uses logos pathos and informal diction to bring her view across to her readers. Her emotional persuasion ties around her logical backing, and her casual vocabulary gives her work a less stuffy impression.
* Zain Mehdi Prof: Mary Nordick English - 110.07 Thursday, Jan 31 Jane Austen shows the role of manners as an extremely powerful idea in Pride and Prejudice by using manners to tell the readers about a persons’ character and attitude towards society. Austin also uses this theme to show how people in the novel believe that an individuals manners showcase their moral character, which is relentlessly being evaluated throughout the novel. Austen uses social class to create a distinct boundary between the Bingley family and the Bennet family. The importance of manners throughout the novel is repeatedly displayed to show how the characters judge each other simply by their actions and social status. An example of this is when Elizabeth decides to visit her sister Jane, who is sick and living at Netherfield Park.
Berger basically says she isn’t naked for herself but naked for the viewer that notices her. Bordo reveals her effort to describe and discuss the eating habits and behaviors of man and women.

This is evident in her eating the "lice form his pelt" and in the role reversal of "his fearful head". Therefore, Carter presents women not as sexual objects to be consumed by men, but as sexually dominant characters. This shift in power also has an element of inspiration in it, as it suggests that Carter thinks women should take control. Carter uses the protagonist's physical description to reinforce the reader's expectations of the character being innocent and naive. The first implication of this is that "she has just started her women's bleeding", showing that the girl is only just going through puberty.
According to Parsons, husbands are the breadwinners and the wife has the nurtring and caring role and that this is based on biological differences between the sexes, a view shared by the New Right. However, this can be criticised using Willmott and Young’s findings, which show that men are now doing the housework and women are going out to work. This shows that family roles are socially constructed and hence not fixed as our society is always changing. Feminists such as Anne Oakley have criticised Willmott and Young’s finding’s stating that they are methodically flawed. She found that only a small minority of men did a significant amount of housework and childcare.
As I read the Hynesʼ assessment of the different types of North American consumers, I felt pegged. Over the last decade, I have been witness to fellow Americans become only slightly more aware of the detriments humans impose on planet Earth, myself included. I saw An Inconvenient Truth and Food, Inc. and hear about those living off the grid and, as a result, felt inspired to buy green and do my part to consume responsibly and live in a manner that is environmentally sound. Yet, I find myself pessimistically judging others, who like me have the best intentions, yet fall prey to clever branding and mass marketing. I found her perspective on women centered action semi-inspiring.
Although using emotion to discuss about male and female linguistic style connects to the readers, however emotions are a person’s personal view and always one-sided. Maynard uses her personal experience in “His Talk, Her Talk” to convey her readers about the different language styles of males and females “At a party I attended the other night” (par 3) as she explains her experience of genders separating with the same sex. Maynard gives her view and information on what she experienced with a biased view unlike Sherman and Haas who explain their claim with statistics and analysis while giving readers an objective outlook of their
Gender Roles plays a huge part of the novel, Possessing the Secret of Joy, by showing the reader how women are treated unfairly and what this treatment can cause to the women. In this novel, Alice Walker portrays how society sees men as the dominant gender and how women are merely sex slaves and servants. The main reason for the female circumcision is to satisfy the men in the tribe needs. If it were up to most women, they would not go through this ritual, but unfortunately, they need to, according to the Olinkan tribe. The women get this done to their body so they are “cleansed”, so a man is able to marry them.
At the same time however, some parts of these pieces presented logical fallacies that must be presented accordingly. Altogether, the authors and creator combined different rhetorical strategies to contort the thematic relationship in their own way. The authors and creator of the three pieces utilize strategies to appeal to the pathos, ethos, and logs of the audience while also furthering the theme of the rising concern in food importance. The film “Burger Binge” and its creator mainly use visual images to appeal to the pathos of the audience. Through constant images of overweight individuals paired with grease-drenched fast food, the film conveys a certain sense of guilt within the audience for the obesity rate that many countries view that plagues are country.
Fey makes choses to talk about the way women are treated in the entertainment industry with a joke on Betty White, which targets both sexism and ageism, which Fey repeatedly addresses, but with a softer approach through the use of humor. When Fey states “Science shows that fertility and movie offers drop off steeply for women after forty” she addresses both her ageing in the entertainment business and the concern that society places on women having a certain number of children by her age, but all centered around a funny tone in order to make her remark sound witty yet strong. The use of comedy made Fey’s argument regarding the negative portrayals of working women in the entertainment
