Nora’s and her hypocrisy, confusion about religion, and his Gran unbalancing the family lead to Jackie’s trap. Nora’s hypocrisy is shown throughout the story. Nora would show her devilish tormenting side to just Jackie because she could use her advantage in knowledge of everything especially religion and confession to torment Jackie. When nobody is around watching her and Jackie walk to the chapel for confession “Nora suddenly changed her tone, she became the raging malicious devil she really was”(178). Then when Nora is in public she shows her angelic side “she walked up the aisle to the side altar looking like a saint”(178). Even though everyone else sees the angelic part of Nora, Jackie “remember[s] the devilish malice with which she had …show more content…
Ryan only showed the class the dark side of the religion and she talked more about Hell than Heaven or as Jackie calls in it the other place. Mrs. Ryan told the story of the priest and the man who gave the bad confession to scare the kids into giving a good confession even though they only have to be completely honest. “When the priest looked at his bed didn't he see the prints of two hands burned in it? That was all because the fellow had made a bad confession”(177) this story of Hell and bad confession made Jackie even more “scared to death of confession”(177) and didn’t want to be embarrassed of his sins. Eventually Jackie decides that he “would make a bad confession and then die in the night”(178) because he began to think that religion is a game and he took this from how Nora acted when she was in public and when they were alone. Finally, the last ironic trap that Jackie has is his Gran unbalancing the family power. Gran indirectly picked favorites even if she wasn't trying to pick them, but it is obvious. “Nora, my sister, just sucked up to the [Gran] for the penny she got every Friday”(176) but Jackie wouldn’t even get anything and Nora would rub it in his face because she kept gaining an advantage over
Jonathan Kozol revealed the early period’s situation of education in American schools in his article Savage Inequalities. It seems like during that period, the inequality existed everywhere and no one had the ability to change it; however, Kozol tried his best to turn around this situation and keep track of all he saw. In the article, he used rhetorical strategies effectively to describe what he saw in that situation, such as pathos, logos and ethos.
Samir Boussarhane During the early 20th century in the U.S, most children of the lower and middle class were workers. These children worked long, dangerous shifts that even an adult would find tiresome. On July 22, 1905, at a convention of the National Woman Suffrage Association in Philadelphia, Florence Kelley gave a famous speech regarding the extraneous child labor of the time. Kelley’s argument was to add laws to help the workers or abolish the practice completely.
During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the fight for equal and just treatment for both women and children was one of the most historically prominent movements in America. Courageous women everywhere fought, protested and petitioned with the hope that they would achieve equal rights and better treatment for all, especially children. One of these women is known as Florence Kelley. On July 22, 1905, Kelley made her mark on the nation when she delivered a speech before the National American Woman Suffrage Association, raising awareness of the cruel truth of the severity behind child labor through the use of repetition, imagery and oxymorons.
Florence Kelley was a social and political reformer that fought for woman’s suffrage and child labor laws. Her speech to the National American Woman’s Suffrage Association initiated a call to action for the reform of child labor laws. She explains how young children worked long and exhausting hours during the night and how despicable these work conditions were. Kelley’s use of ethos, logos, pathos, and repetition helps her establish her argument for the reform of the child labor laws.
In this passage, Nancy Mairs makes it clear that she cares about the names people give her. She prefers the word “cripple,” to describe herself, rather that “handicapped,” and this is show to be true because of the sheer amount that Mairs repeats it. To emphasize this, Mairs uses rhetorical devices, like tone, word choice and comparisons.
After the 2010 Census results Arizona’ ninth congressional district was created, having its first representative in the 113th Congress Kyrsten Sinema, a democratic leader. In 2014 elections, House Representative Sinema was seeking re-election against her Republican opponent Wendy Rogers, an air force veteran and small business owner. Incumbent Kyrsten Sinema focuses her primary policies of concern on “women’s issues” and her democratic political ideology and her opponent Wendy Rogers based her issues on republican political “masculine issues”. The candidate Wendy Rogers had two major faux pas that
By reading, Anne Lamott’s essay, her writing process is interesting, in my opinion. She explains that her writing isn’t always flawless but rather shitty in the beginning. Anne writes one “shitty” draft and after that she analyzes her draft. By doing this she takes out words or finds a new beginning on the second page or as she says finding something great on the last sentence on page six. I think the process Anne takes is important to her because she not only can say anything in her shitty draft but the freedom she has. She doesn’t have to worry about anyone read that draft expect her.
Child labor laws were set into place to protect young children from harsh jobs that would block their educational growth and be a danger to their overall health. Most common during the Industrial Revolution, children worked to provide to their families. Many could not get by with the little amount of money, which meant that most children were sent off to the factories to work. Although this means that the families would be getting by, was it worth the negatives that it brought to children? Florence Kelley disagreed with child labor and spoke out on the possibility of beginning a movement or law to change it. Kelley used the rhetorical techniques logos and pathos, to argue her message, in an attempt to bring people together to obtain child labor laws.
The piece that I will be analyzing is called How It Feels to Be Colored Me. This piece appealed to me because she described her point of view through the use of anecdote. Her perspective of being different caught my attention because most articles about being colored are so clique. This one is out of the ordinary because she thinks of being colored as a good thing. The only thing that could be difficult to analyze about this piece would understand how she feels because back then, black people were treated horribly.
On April 22, 1998, climate scientists Michael E. Mann, Raymond S. Bradley and Malcolm K. Hughes published an article that received unprecedented attention for a publication of its kind. In their initial piece “Global-Scale Temperature Patterns and Climate Forcing Over the Past Six Centuries,” the authors charted global annual surface temperature patterns for 600 years. As a response to significant interest within the scientific community, the next year they released a paper that reconstructed average temperatures over the entire past millennium. The result of their work is the graph below
Regarding the audience’s attitude toward Dr. Laura they must follow her work or are interested in her issue and trust that she knows her topic like the back of her hand. Considering, they had to pay a good amount of money to be there as a audience member. Dr. Laura’s reputation with the audience is based on her work and credentials. The rhetorical audience are the people who are going to listen to the speech. Whereas, the third audience is the implied audience, audience applied by the choices the speaker makes and how the actual audience receives the message. In this case, Dr. Laura might perceive her audience to look like people who are open to learning or with varying degrees of knowledge the subject.
Jamie is a well-rounded, active child who has developed social skills to make new friends, meet new people and collaborate with others. She has a lot of curiosity about new things and, she likes to challenge new things in any way, and does not let her failures deter her from learning. As for her relationships, I think that she a talent for conveying her thoughts clearly and accurately, through which she expresses her optimism. She is also a compelling speaker, who can persuade family members of their own needs for precise purposes and reasons.
Madden brings attention to how “[Jackie’s] family cannot discern his sister’s obvious hypocrisy” (Madden). As a witness to how his sister’s religious semblance is only for show, Jackie feels the disconnect between truly upholding traditional values and playing pretend. After Nora cruelly teases him about his worries regarding the confessional, “[Jackie] remembered [the incident]...and wondered...[if] all religious people [were] like that” (O’Connor). O’Connor uses Nora’s act of keeping up appearances to show how her facade shakes Jackie’s faith. Depicted in how Jackie questions his family’s traditional values because of Nora, the disparity between one’s religious and one’s true self is evidence of the dwindling role of religion in modern
Nora’s life struggle began at a young age. Her father treated her like an inhuman object, and now her husband has done the same thing. After many years of maintaining her “perfect” life, Nora could no longer live like this. She finally stands up for herself and makes a choice to leave her family. This decision is completely reasonable. It is unimaginable to think anyone could treat another person so crudely. No person should be molded into being someone they are not. It is unfair to treat a loved one like an object instead of an equal human being. Unfortunately there are many women today who find themselves in the same position in Nora. Many of which do not have the strength to confront, and to pry themselves from grips of their abusers. It is possible that the greatest miracle will be Nora, out on her own, finding her true self.
Nora is a dynamic character. When the play begins Nora is viewed and presented as a playful and carefree person. She seems to be more intent on shopping for frivolous things. But, as time goes on it becomes apparent that Nora actually has a certain amount of seriousness in her decisions and actions in dealing with the debt she incurred to save Torvald’s life. Nora’s openness in her friendship with Dr. Rank changes after he professes his affections toward her. Her restraint in dealing with him shows that Nora is a mature and intelligent woman. Nora shows courage, not seen previously, by manipulating her way around Krogstad and his threats to reveal her secret. After feeling betrayed by Torvald, Nora reveals that she is leaving him. Having
