Claire's And Dulcie Reaction To Teresa
Claire’s and Dulcie’s reactions towards Teresa’s/Sissy’s name plays a big role in Mary Downing Hahn’s “ deep and dark and dangerous.” I think that whenever Claire or Dulcie react to her name it gets the readers predicting and it lets you make a inference.

In the story deep and dark and dangerous Claire’s and Dulcie’s reactions to Teresa’s/Sissy’s name gets the reader predicting which lets us make a prediction. For example on page 2 and 3 when Claire snatched the photo (which had teresa) from Ali that she brought from the attic Mary included “her face suddenly flushed. Claire than asked where did you get this.” As she was looking at the photo and asking the question Ali thought to herself by saying “she acted as if I'd been rummaging through

    In the poem from Marge Piercy’s If I had been called Sabrina or Ann, she said, the narrator’s tone towards her name and how it affected her life was very mournful and downcast. Her choice of diction portrayed that she was absolutely disgusted with her name. A quote that supports this claim is, “Useful, plain; impossible for foreigners, from French to Japanese, to pronounce.” She is indicating that her name is dull, uninteresting, and unreasonably hard to pronounce. Because of the title of this excerpt, the reader can deduct that the narrator spends a wealth of time speculating on what her life experience would have been like if she had another name, since she feels that the name “Marge” was disgraceful and pathetic compared to other names such…

    A name in its simplest form addresses a person, place, thing, or idea, yet with every name comes a flood of associated names and ideas. For Dana and her mother the use of choice words with the least amount of negative connotation seems to be of the utmost importance. She states “It matters what you call things” (5), but the name by which one identify with, or that one uses to address an activity or idea, matters for the most part only to the said person. Those viewing one's life, as the reader does with Dana, form their own ideas and interpretations of that person and his or her activities. Therefore a name matters because it expresses how one feels about their…

    To begin with, Maris successfully uses the emotional strategy of argument to convince the reader that she chooses to name herself a “cripple” not to seem harsh but to best describe her condition. Maris openly chooses the undesirable word in order to manipulate the reader’s feelings by making the reader feel unsympathetic toward her condition “Multiple Sclerosis.” Maris believes that the word “cripple” is “a clean word, straightforward, and precise.” She appreciates the accuracy of the word that best shows that she has “lost the full use of the limbs” and that’s why she does not choose to name herself “handicapped” or “disabled.” She believes these terms are less explicative of her condition.…

    Names have been an important facet of society for as long as Homo sapiens have existed. A name is defined as “a word or symbol used in logic to designate an entity.” In Of Mice and Men, John Steinbeck teaches a lesson about the nature of human existence and shows how grim and isolated people become without hope. Steinbeck neglects to address Curley’s wife’s character by name in order to emphasize her position as a literary element and provide commentary on society in the time period during which he lived.…

    Upon analysis of the Motorola Corporation, many opportunities have been identified in the external environment to both boost Motorola back into elite status in terms of the phone industry and further extend its long history of technology advancement and innovation. WiMax and the potential market surrounding it present the most promising business venture for Motorola. Heavy investments have been injected into WiMax , which has enabled Motorola to have the technology readily available for vendors to roll out. With the exponential growth and need for high speed communication, especially in rural or undeveloped areas, this venture holds the potential to for a dynamic impact on the technology world. This would play a key role for industries which outsource to other countries for cheaper labor in providing the necessary communication capacity needed for efficient business operations. In the American market alone, given the federal push to provide high-speed communication to out of reach environments, the potential for success is very high. With the respective partnership with Sprint-Nextel communications and Verizon TV, it can be a major player in the market by rolling out the technology on a broad scale using the existing market base.…
