It was hard for her to comprehend the distinction until she got some information about how her mom talked. At the point when Amy went to class, she was a brilliant individual.

    Rhetorical Analysis Essay: Mary Ellen's Story

    In 1874, Mary Ellen’s case shined a light on Abuse of children and was brought by American Society for the Prevention of cruelty to Animals, which later passed a law to protect children from physical abuse from their parents. During the trial, the judge ordered for Ellen to be brought into the court room and from there she gave her heart-wrenching testimony. This testimony made such an impact in history that the author, physician, and writer Howard Markel revealed her story in the New York Times in 2009. In this composition Markel uses appeals as strategies to reveal and remind the audience of Ellen’s case and form a movement to prevent it and protect victims, which is an effort that continues today. In Markel strategies he mostly uses an emotional appeal which is more effective in this composition because the language used in Ellen’s testimony evokes the senses and brings emotion to the audience and helps them to relate her. Her testimony provides concrete evidence which Markel used to give his composition a logical appeal.…

    Compare And Contrast Richard Rodriguez And Mother Tongue

    This was due to the struggles their parents had spoke a different language in society. Amy Tan states,“As a child Tan thinks of her mom as not as intelligent because of her “broken” English. “I know this for a fact, because when I was growing up, my mother’s ‘limited’ English, limited my perception of her. I was ashamed of her English. I believed that her English reflected the quality of what she had to say. That is, because she expressed them imperfectly her thoughts were imperfect.” This means that Amy Tan was ashamed that her mother couldn't speak the same language as society spoke, so she gave her mother a different identity. Similar to Amy Tan, Richard Rodriguez also wrote about how he was embarrassed with his parents language. He states, “And yet, in another way, it mattered very much – it was unsettling to hear my parents struggled with English. Hearing them, I’d grow nervous, my clutching trust in their protection and power weakened.” Rodriguez’s embarrassment of his parent’s inability to speak English supported by society’s impacted his family. Both Tan and Rodriguez at an early age struggle with how they viewed their parent’s identity which made them work hard to shape their own…

    Interrogating Chasing Amy

    The "sexual natural attitude" that is reflected through our Western culture differs greatly from that of other cultures. Our sexual natural attitude includes human beings falling into two distinct and complementary categories: male and female. Our culture denotes normality as only when two people of different genders have sexual relations or get married. It is a male dominated society where norms are often based on androcentric beliefs (McGann 2005). Our society labels people as heterosexual or homosexual with many inherent stereotypes that go along with the word "homosexual". An alternative point of view is the "sexual script" theory which states that sexuality is socially learned (Seidman 2003). In the film Chasing Amy, many features of the "sexual natural attitude" are both evident as well as challenged. The film also shows many of the characters to have "sexual scripts" which seem to be based on age, race, and class.…

    Telling Amy's Story Documentary Analysis

    My reaction to the documentary Telling Amy’s Story was not surprised nor shocked at all. I believed I knew what the result would be I was just waiting on the inevitable. This man showed multiple times that if he couldn’t have her no one could so I’m not sure what made her believe that she would be able to just leave her husband in the end. I don’t want to speak ill of the dead but I feel she should of just ran when she had the chance from the start of the relationship when he started to show signs of being controlling. This is what surprised me the most Amy met Vincent McGee in her place of employment and within a few months he was making her feel uncomfortable at work and rules were placed on her.…

    Discourse Community

    In “A Stranger in Strange Lands” McCarthy relates the classes Dave attended to a foreign country with a language that had to be learned in order to succeed. Dave struggled in his poetry class because he failed to learn the “foreign” language of the class. In this academic discourse, Dave had to learn to analyze and write essays that will, “make [him] say something quite specific about the meaning of a poem (your thesis) and demonstrate how far [he has] progressed in recognizing and dealing with the devices a poet uses to expresses his insights” (242). Because this was unlike what he had to do in his Freshmen Composition or Biology class, this approach was foreign to him. He was use to summarizing and proving his textual coherence but now he was more focused on new ways of thinking and writing for that class. His grades in the poetry class never improved. The social aspects as well as his coherence influenced his writing. Dave had a connection to the writing his both of his other classes but not to poetry. He thought that none of the poetry related except for the similar literary devices. He also felt that he was an outsider on the discipline while his instructor wasn’t. He would spend hours writing the essay to fulfill the required Manner and Quality just to have his errors pointed out without any explanation as to why they were wrong. Dave felt that, “In Poetry, more or less each poem is different, so it’s not taught to you. You just have to figure it out from that poem itself and hope Dr. Forson likes it” (251). This hindered Dave’s chance of succeeding in the class. Because he saw that his writing was failing he could’ve asked to meet with the professor privately to discuss what he was doing wrong. The professor also could’ve had more guideline lectures and helped the students by pointing out some details in the poem that would’ve benefited their writing.…

    Analysis Of Sara Shepard's Unbelievable: A Pretty Little Lias

    Every day people pass on something from the past into the future. Whether it is scientific theories or family recipes, there is no denying that humans are creatures of habit. In fact, even the millions of stories published a common hero must persevere in the face of adversity. For example, Sara Shepard’s Unbelievable, a Pretty Little Liars’ novel published in 2008, mimics the same iconic hero written during the eighth century BC in Homer’s epic poem The Odyssey. Throughout the novel Unbelievable, after one of the protagonists, Spencer Hastings, is forced out of her old normal teenage lifestyle when skeletons in her closet are discovered by the antagonist, A, she must venture through a series of new obstacles. Much like Unbelievable, Odysseus,…

    Amy Tan Mother Tongue Analysis

    According to Amy she did not realize how we use different languages or different tones when we are engaging in conversation with others. When you are talking with friends or close family you would use different dialect or slang, then if you were talking to your boss or teacher. The tone of your voice can also show's that if you are louder this might mean you are confident in your answer or opinion. If you speak softly and don't make eye contact or talk towards the desk you are less confident. In the beginning she was embarrassed by her mother not being able to speak English. Amy did not think her mother was ignorant because her intelligent thoughts and answers were there. Her mother just could not relay her thoughts into understandable words like the time when talking to the stockbroker.
