243 Words1 Page

I enjoyed reading Goffman article “The presentation of self in everyday life”, it reminded me of sorority recruitment or “Rush” as it was formally referred to. With Henslin introduction and quoting Shakespeare I was able to reflect to sorority life. Depending on what sororities are present on campus could affect the how rush is perceived. There are days were the chapter all matches and everyone appears to be friendly and interested in the potential recruits. The potential recruits want these upperclassman to like them and invite them into this secret organization.

    Crisp, the university’s vice chancellor for student affairs said that “he was unaware of the American Eagle effort on his campus” (839) and that “They are not supposed to be using the opportunity to help people move in as a way of forwarding commercial ventures” (840). These anecdotes also have satire, with the words like “commercial ventures” and the way “effort” was used. These together also create pathos, because they make it seem like these students are rebelling against the authority in these colleges. This makes it seem like a worse thing than it is, especially because “commercial ventures” has a negative connotation, usually do do with a someone misleading someone. Singer also used bandwagon in her essay, to show how the companies choose only certain kids based on popularity.

They agreed that both men and women were created equal and should have the same alienable rights: life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness; meaning they should have the right to vote. In 1890, the idea that men and women are equal, and for that women should be able to vote was discarded, and a different option came up; women and men are different and that is the main reason
