This quote by Dorothy Allison demonstrated the emotional nature of writers and how power those words are. “It’s an illusion that writers have a lot of choice about what they write” she explains. “Your stories are your stories.

The social issue that I have chosen to analyze is abortion‚ specifically‚ I will be analyzing the debate between pro-choice and pro-life through Dorothy Smith’s standpoint theory.

I pick the poem called the "A Certain Lady" by Dorothy Parker for the poet presentation. I separate slides in two stanzas. The significance of the title‚ "A Certain Lady‚" tells a story of the lady who interacts with the man‚ but he is unable to see her love‚ and he talks about his exploits with other women to her. Both stanzas show how she pretends her happiness to the man‚ and he’ll never realize it. It’s a bit ironic that he goes out with other women‚ yet he is unable to see the lover right
