Riki Anne Wilchins 'What Does It Cost To Tell The Truth'

Also the author as able to strengthen her argument by adding supporting views from authorities (Jean Baker Miller), which emphasized how women tend to avoid the appearance of power as she never take credit for her achievements and usually blames it on being lucky. At the end of the essay the author advocates several strategies women should pursue in order to get tough such as “taking credit when credit is due” (Par.10), because taking credit when it is deserved is a sign of confidence and determination, also she explains how women should express their anger in different

In her piece, she utilizes emotion and first hand experiences to make the audience identify with the situation, enabling them to make comparisons between Edelman’s marriage and their own. Hope Edelman recognizes that the emotion she writes with helps her female audience identify with her; therefore, making the examples she uses seem more

(Watson 15) This quote exhibits that she wants to be as honest as possible. Some may think that it actually helps her that she is detached from the political world. This is because she builds her ethos by using her own accomplishments and honesty. These attributes about her prove that she truly cares about the subject and is willing to work for what she believes in.

Beatrice is the main character, in the book Insurgent Series by Veronica Roth, Beatrice was trying to figure out how she was going to confess what she has done. Beatrice is Divergent, she has different traits and emotions compared to other people in the society. She was in Candor, a courtroom where she can let her anger out and no one can judge her for what she has done, especially from the ones she loves. When the attention was pointed to her, she was scared to tell the full story about what was bothering her. Beatrice thought to herself, “Safe places, where confessing that I shot one of my best friends would be easy, where I would not be afraid of the way that Tobias will look at me when he finds out what I did.”

The narrator’s opinions are not laid out for the reader, leaving us to form our own opinions and thoughts as to why the woman has become obsessed with finding the girl. The narrator knows what the woman thinks and feels, although the woman’s thoughts that the narrator tells the reader is somewhat limited. Nonetheless this insight into the main character shows that the narrator is an omniscient narrator. The narrator also seems trustworthy, simply because the narrator is not biased and lets the reader form their own theories. The narrator tells the story chronologically without flashbacks or flash-forwards.

Chopin gains her knowledge about the struggles of overcoming diversity, both racial and gender, through her own past experiences. She

The concept of “reading like a woman” not only applies to being a woman, but rather reading as the “minority” of any given intersection. To read Irie’s character requires reading like a mixed-race, unattractive (by society’s standards) girl, and then the reader can begin to understand why Irie acts the way she does. But one will never fully understand Irie through just her race, class, and gender- one needs to understand all of the problems she faces. As Culler states in the aforementioned theoretical article, “women readers identify with the concerns of women characters,” (Culler 511) even if women characters’ concerns are not only those about gender. Another example of “reading like a woman” in the context of this novel is to read Magid and Millat’s characters as similar versions of one another in race, class, and gender, yet entirely different in personality.

When questioned why they are like this, these women and their fans are quick to respond with the fact that they are simply comfortable in their own skin and would like to encourage their fans to feel the same. But does comfortable in your own skin really mean nudity? No, of course it doesn’t. What comfortable in your own skin truly means is being able to express yourself wholeheartedly in many ways without feeling somehow sinful. Whether it is through art, speech, personality, or your daily interactions with other people.

This made her realize that the world that she thought to be free really wasn’t due to religion and social stigmas. While there are some views that Satrapi might agree with, because of this page showing her being so “Avant-garde”, it foreshadows her criticizing not only Middle Eastern social stigmas but also those all around the world concerning women. Consequently causing one to speculate that the questioning of the pages is a way to understand Persepolis as a whole. From the first page of Persepolis, we start to see how Satrapi’s mind works. How she invites one into her mind as to what she thinks about the world around her.

Lucy despises this notion almost as much as she loathes her mother and struggles with it daily. One concept she finds very repulsive is the importance of a woman’s image. She is disgusted by Dinah’s obsession with beauty and comments that “among the beliefs I held about the world was that being beautiful should not matter to a woman, because it is one of those things that would go away” (Kincaid, 57). Later on she mentions that “for the first time ever [she] entertained the idea that [she] might be beautiful”, but declares that she will “not make too big a thing of it” (Kincaid, 132). Lucy’s rejection of society’s emphasis on appearance frees her from the insecurities that are brought upon by a self-image based on looks.

How she relayed the message to the readers were very smart in the fact that she was unbiased. This was an article that anyone could read and it wasn’t just pointed to a particular group of people. Her personal experiences throughout the story made us sympathize for her, which is another great tactic that she used. Her tone throughout the story are both defensive and sympathetic which, again, pull you into the story even further. Ultimately, I do think that the message that Balsamo was trying to make came across to the readers.
