Marked Women Deborah Tannen’s, Marked Women (1993) claims that all women are marked linguistically and by the actions they take and there may not be any way for women to avoid this circumstance. Deborah shows the changes that must occur in language in order to make speech more feminine. I think Deborah Tannen’s intention is to enlighten readers to the differences between men and women using language and show how it translates into the visual world. Tannen’s work appeals to both sexes in an attempt to connect with the reader through familiarity. It was interesting to read this particular selection because I agree with and identified with most of what Deborah Tannen says.
She knows what she’s comfortable with, and gets rid of things that makes her unease. And so we draw these into a conclusion, that both gold and gray sides of Jordan resembles the image of a modern women in seek of self-indulgence in
Geraldine Brooks' Year of Wonders vividly recounts the effects of the plague on the small English town of Eyam in 1666. Brooks' novel explores the attitude and reactions of both the female and male characters in response to the disease. Brooks generally encourages readers to empathise with the female characters, whilst evoking feelings of disdain towards the masculine community. She achieves this through the deliberate use of the first person narration through the perspective of the main female protagonist, Anna Frith. Furthermore, Anna's narration forces readers to recognise the achievements of the female characters whilst highlighting the barbaric nature of the men.

The similarities between the two characters are very obvious. Both women crave control, and tend to fall apart without it. Both women use manipulation and threats to get what they want. And both women use physical and mental punishment to “teach a lesson”. First of all, both Nurse Ratched and Professor Umbridge have an undeniable need for control,
Vivian( A Lesson Before Dying) is a lot like Beneatha( A Raisin in the Sun) in the stories. I believe that they are both strong women. They remind me of very classy women for back in there day. I think that Jefferson( A Lesson Before Dying) and Walter Lee Younger Jr. ( A Raisin in the Sun) are a lot alike. I think this because they take things very seriously.
I believe this technique is extremely effective to getting a point across because it hits the reader so hard that one they can’t put the book down and two they feel compelled to do something about these repulsive and horrifying events and customs. Kristof states in the introduction… “Many of the stories in this book are wrenching, but keep in mind this central truth: Women aren’t the problem but the solution, the plight of girls is no more a tragedy than an opportunity” (Kristof xvii). Furthermore these stories presented in the book are difficult to read but they are placed in the book in order to evoke deep emotions. These emotions will motivate individuals to step up and help women become a solution and an opportunity to better the
Kisses are warm and very comforting when a friend needs help, just like me at times. But I also have that fun, loving side that comes with the Kisses. The Reese's are way different from all the others. Now Reese's have this combination of two opposites that work together in the end. Reese's are salty and sweet.
Her kind and gracious Aunt build’s Sybylla’s confidence and self esteem and is gentle and understanding, recognising her inner beauty, while reinforcing her physical beauty. Aunt Helen’s positive impact on Sybylla can be seen through the quote “No one would dream of calling you plain, let alone ugly; brilliant is the word which best describes you.” This quote assists the reader in furthering their understanding into the contradictive impression that others have on Sybylla. Similarly, the protagonist, Peekay, in the
In other words, Stephanie Vaughn, by creating a shared expectation among readers, has managed to seize control of their minds and thus enabling her to play with them throughout the rest of the story. With readers' expectation firmly in place, Vaughn now has the luxury to decide whether to “satisfy” or “frustrate” them. She masterfully manages to mix in a little bit of both. As Abbott points out in The Cambridge Introduction to Narrative, “if the object is to satisfy the desire [of readers], it can't be satisfied too quickly, because [readers] seem to enjoy being in the state of imbalance or tension that precedes closure.” (Abbott, 57) Vaughn achieves this feat by tempering readers' expectation with seemingly irrelevant but meaningful turn of events in the middle part of the story, postponing the envisioned death of the dog until the very end.
