I believe Steinbeck’s quote is a valid remark. His words are so eloquently exemplified in‚ Unforgettable Miss Bessie by Carl T. Rowan and Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck.

In the passage when Juana “needs a man‚” by using repetition and hyperbole‚ John Steinbeck conveys to the reader that while men often think that they are more important than women‚ women are just as important as men. For example‚ the author states that Juana “knew [the differences between men and women] and accepted them and needed them.” Repeating different verbs followed by the word “them” is an example of repetition.

Gulliver’s Travels is still relevant today because it presents a variety of social critiques and condemnations of branches of human activity that still exist today.
