Stasiland (2002) is a non-fiction journalistic text written by Anna Funder whereas, in 1984 (1949) written by George Orwell is a dystopian novel. Both texts look at how oppression works and what they have in common is the oppression of individualities. Anne funder is looking at what really happened, yet it is still horrific however, Orwell takes it to an extreme because it’s a novel. In addition to this, in Stasiland people’s privacy and freedom is being invaded because of the uncontrollable power that the Stasi holds. This is the same with 1984, Big Brother and how they would watch everything that happens to every single individual so they’re not going against the country.
The barrier between her and the neighbours after her husband’s death forced her to become reserved and quiet. Her and her son only went into town if they had to. They preferred to stay close to the garden where they felt safe. The death of the husband is the cause of the mothers’ complete change in character. The death let the audience connect with her on a deeper level to understand her pain and suffering.
Dr. Seager knew she was a drug addict and wasn’t happy about her coming in for help. He sat down and listened to her story anyway and it turns out she sold her children to a man called “the baby man” (Seager, 1991, p.) She sold them for drugs but now she wanted them back. Dr. Seager ended up yelling at this woman and leaving his shift at work. Finally, the last point that stuck out to me was an overall tone in the book.
In this quote Sanger relates the the subjugation of women to the bondage of the freedom of humanity. She relates to the male audience by speaking of a Father and Husband who was a sober, hard working gentleman, who turned into an alcoholic when five more children were added to the family. She shows the importance of birth control not only for the health of the woman, but also the future of the child/children and father. She uses pathos to emotionally connect to the hardships faced by men in low and middle class families who cannot support their families due to to big of a
To illustrate this theme the author describes that: “She had driven through a forest fire, gone boating in a hurricane, swum across riptides”(532). In other words, she is not someone who runs from change or opposition in life and is not afraid of a simple bucket of blood that contains a swamp rat in it. It seems that this is a type of woman that conveys a different model and that is something that can definitely be learned from. It is very important to move outside of one’s comfort zone to be able to live a full and exciting life. As one can see, Waugh examines the way that a mother does the untraditional approach to life and ends up having an impact on those around
In the passage/video’s “Klondike Gold Rush,” “A Woman Who Went to Alaska,” by May Sullivan and “City of Gold” each share a story about the gold rush. But, each of these texts have a different point of view. Having many point of views allows the author to shape the reader’s understanding of the miners’ lives differently. In the passage “Klondike Gold Rush,” the author is writing in third person point of view. This passage talks about the overall effect of the Gold Rush.
Leta S. Hollingworth was an American psychologist who focused most of her research on giftedness, educational psychology, psychology of women, and the variability hypothesis. She conducted numerous studies to reject the variability hypothesis that deemed women for destined for mediocrity and did her dissertation on how women were not mentally incapacitated during menstruation (Held, 2010). Hollingworth wrote six articles on the social factors that contributed to the social status of women. (1) One being “Social Devices for Impelling Women to Bear and Rear Children,” this article focused on the eight social constructs that motivated and pressured women to have and raise children. Of the eight, seven were first proposed by E. A. Ross in his book
Within this passage, the author uses first point of view as shown by the use of the words ‘I’, ‘me’, and ‘my’. The tone can be described as intense, solemn, and uneasy. The author uses first point of view to put the text in perspective of one person’s feelings, actions, and reaction to the whole situation. The reader can attempt to connect to the range of emotions the character is going through and knowing the thoughts of the character, they can picture the negative impact the character’s surroundings are having on them. Nijkamp coneys the tone by having the character recall how fear and survival are alike following with how she had not felt afraid in a while until then, when her brother has them locked in and is holding a gun.

The short story "Detached Belongings" is written by Dilruba Z. Ara. It is about a woman’s struggle and search for her identity after she moves to Sweden and is forced to be hospitalized when she is pregnant due to a rare disease that ultimately ends in her losing her child. Even though the woman is cared for by the Swedish medical staff and her husband, she still feels alone and longs for her home country. I am going to explore and explain why I think the main character’s encounters throughout the story is primarily negative.
Sallie Tisdale describes an uneducated sixteen-year-old girl that doesn’t even know how babies are formed. It was not the girl’s fault for getting pregnant; she was raped (Tisdale 416). Knowing this, the audience, like the author, feels compassion for the girl. It would be unfair to the girl if she couldn’t have the abortion. The audience recognizes that although abortion is cruel, it is needed.
