Analysis Of I Am A Peace Loving Woman By Linda Hasselstrom

When referring to writing, tone is described as the writer’s attitude toward their subject matter and audience. To analyze any literary essay, recognizing tone is vital to understanding how the writer feels about the subject he has written about but also the underlying message he is trying to convey. In the essay written by the investigative reporter Jessica Mitford entitled, “To Bid the World Farewell” Tone is very pronounced and effective in getting the main point of the essay across. The author uses many different tones, from which I have selected three to analyze. All three off them use the good principles of writing a convincing and informative essay. Her ability to sarcastically familiarize the general public with the ‘dark arts’ of the embalming industry is both suggestive and engaging. She also uses an abundance of euphemisms, hiding the disturbing truth under a string of organized connotations. Her last method of tone is to inform the reader of the embalming methods by explaining with the wordy and often misunderstood colloqialisms of an actual ‘dermasurgeon’, in which she provides multiple quotes to further convince the reader.

Women need to give up the notion that they are inherently vulnerable and passive victims of attacks by strangers and instead assume primary responsibility for their safety by becoming strong and potentially lethal. This is Leslie Marmon Silko’s dominant idea in her essay “In the Combat Zone.” The author draws attention to the vulnerability felt by the majority of women and goes on to make a case for guns and how it provides women with confidence and the power to fend off attackers or would-be attackers. The author’s stance on this subject is quite predictable considering her background and upbringing. She was raised in an environment where children were given responsibilities at an early age. Therefore, it is no surprise that at age seven her father armed and trained her on how to safely handle guns and she was equally saddled with the responsibility of her safety. Her upbringing is however not reflective of the larger population of women in the United States. While the use of guns for self-defence might come across as a fair argument at first glance, a critical examination of the author’s suggestion would expose some short-comings to her argument.

In the article “A peaceful Woman Explains Why She Carriers a Gun,” the author Linda M. Hasselstrom has a credible argument for carrying a gun. Hasselstrom has a solid ethical appeal and her argument had logic based on her many dangerous personal experiences. Although her article is credible, she uses many fallacies to make it seem that if women have a gun they can protect themselves from men.

Now days world is not safe. According to the CDC, “non-contact unwanted sexual experiences” are the most prevalent form of sexual violence in the Unites States. Every 2 minutes, someone in the U.S. is sexually assaulted. According to the online studies by Stop Street Harassment, 99% of respondents said that they had been harassed at least a few times. “A Peaceful Woman Explains Why She Carries a Gun” by Linda Hasselstrom exemplifies a use of having a gun for protection as a last resort. Hasselstrom was justified for her need to own a gun as she wanted to be protected, safe and have a peace of mind.

James Q. Wilson a former teacher at Harvard University understands that taking guns away from the common people will only reduce the chance of surviving a possible attack of any sort of intruder.”Those that they cannot buy,

Eavan Boland’s poem “It’s a Woman’s World” illuminates the fact that history has shaped an unfair role for women in today’s society. Boland criticizes the gender bias with regards to the limitations placed on women and their job choices despite their ability to be just as successful in the workplace as men. Regardless of the fact that the bias against women in the workplace is often overlooked, Boland aims to show the shared reaction of women to the gender bias prevalent in our society by using short sentence fragments, repetition, and a fire motif throughout the poem.

In the story it says “It’s a real thought, a memory. About fear. And I’m thinking it. And the thought is simple. It’s simple: nothing to fear than fear itself. From a history class. Just words. Until now.” This shows that the main character is afraid that he will never get back to being visible and he is also afraid for his parents who are in the hospital from a car accident.

Throughout this paper I will be challenging the arguments of Jeff McMahan’s paper Why Gun ‘Control Is Not Enough where he concludes that the only effective form of gun ‘control’ would be for The United States to make it illegal to shoot a gun of any type. He begins this argument by citing the “central pillar” of the argument for those who are anti-gun control is that when more individuals own guns, there is a mindset that the entire population is safer. With this logic, it can be inferred that citizens feeling unsafe in the current environment of their country are those seeking protection, one way being through the purchase and ownership of a firearm. Safety is imperative part of ensuring peace of mind, which then impact the peace of the

5). Sarah has an unrealistic fear of shopping in crowded stores and walking home through crowded streets. She has begun to spend more and more time home alone in order to avoid the awful, scared feeling she gets when she goes out in public.

In the United States of America the right to bear arms gave birth to a phenomenon called the “gun culture,” the term coined in 1970 by a historian Richard Hofstadter, which describes America’s heritage and affection for weapons(1). Not only did gun culture become an inseparable part of American democracy, but also it is considered to be synonymous with independence and freedom, the most important values for American society. Even though the crime rate and murder rate in the U.S. is higher than in any other developed country, U.S. citizens oppose every attempt made to pass gun control legislation(2). However, it may sound like a paradox, but the crime level in the most liberal states, when it comes to gun ownership, is the lowest in the

More gun control laws are needed to protect women from domestic abusers and stalkers. Five women are killed with firearms consistently in the United States. A lady 's danger of being killed increments 500% if a weapon is available amid a local question. Amid the Iraq and Afghanistan wars, 5,364 US warriors were murdered in real life between Oct. 7, 2001 and Jan. 28, 2015; somewhere around 2001 and 2012 6,410 ladies were slaughtered with a firearm by a close accomplice in the United States. A 2003 investigation of 23 crowded high-pay nations found that 86% of ladies killed by guns were in the United States and American ladies are 11.4 times more inclined to be the casualties of firearm crimes 57% of mass shootings included aggressive behavior at home. For instance, the 2011 mass shooting at a Seal Beach, CA hair salon supposedly started in view of the shooter 's guardianship fight with his ex who was a hairdresser at the salon. 31 states don 't forbid indicted offense stalkers from owning weapons and 41 states don 't compel sentenced local abusers from surrendering firearms they as of now own.76% of ladies killed and 85% of ladies who survived a murder endeavor by a private accomplice were stalked in the year prior to the murder or murder endeavor.

Second amendment rights are a controversial subject, but in her article, “A Peaceful Woman Explains Why She Carries a Gun,” Linda M. Hasselstrom explains why those rights are important to her. Hasselstrom uses logos, pathos, and ethos to entertain readers and to inform them of why she carries a gun.

The authors accuse the fear to make it pro-gun. This is not freedom. The authors also criticize the media by encouraging fear. The article claims that the communities most affected by violence approve the control of the guns, and the areas least affected by violence often celebrated the guns as emblematic of freedom.

Although Leah Libresco is both sided about gun control, she emphasizes how others personal beliefs can cause distraction to the truth; therefore, she portrays how one’s emotional opinion can be at a greater importance than facts.

She knew her punishment was going to be rough. It always had been. Consequently, she knew she would be beaten by the morning — if not worse. When she heard the door slam open, she knew danger was after her. The sudden noise startled her. The metal screen door rattled, sending a booming echo across the quiet fields. Inhaling sharply, she attempted to control her already erratic breathing. Nevertheless, she knew she would be found. Her guardian knew the ranch like he knew the Bills of Rights. Although she habitually hid from everyone, she would invariably get caught. No one was there to comfort her afterward which made the whole ordeal worst.
