Synthesis Of Sylvia

The author makes very valid points throughout the whole essay and even uses someone else’s story to back up their information. The information given during the text is quite significant to the back up the points the author is making. Like stated earlier, using someone else’s story is a good way to make sure the information is correct. Throughout the text, the author will use words that may not seem clear at first, but Kolbert does a respectable job of clearing things up for the reading and making it easier to follow along. Since the author based their essay of the basis of another person’s writing, it is safe to say that the author used and interpreted the information very well. Quotes were used frequently throughout. Kolbert did a lot of wonderful things with the text, however, not many times did you feel the sense of an argument. The sense of just a general summary was felt the whole time. Overall the author did a very nice job gathering this information and giving it back in a way that the audience had a good understanding on where she stood with this issue.

In this excerpt from the novel under the feet of Jesus by Helena Maria Viramontes, we are introduced to a young girl named Estrella. Throughout the excerpt Estrella’s character changes and develops in many ways. The author reveals these changes through her usage of literary devices such as selection of detail, figurative language, as well as tone.

A voice is given to the mother in this poem, who is representative of all women who have suffered under the churches morals and values and still hold a high regard for religion, in this case, Christianity. It is clear from Heaney’s depiction of suffering that the mother does share a maternal bond with

Throughout the short story Sylvia Portrayed as tough hard-shelled individual. As we are first introduced to her we learn that even though she seems like an angry individual, she is in fact very intelligent and observant. For example, Sylvia states, “She was black as hell, cept for her feet, which were fish-white and spooky. And she was always planning these boring-ass things for us to do… Miss Moore always looked like she was going to church, though she never did” (1).

In the essay, the author appeals to ethos, pathos, and logos very well. Although she

Do not "voices" come to us daily from the haunts of poverty, sorrow, degradation, and despair, already too long unheeded? Now is the time for the women of this country, if they would save our free institutions, to defend the right, to buckle on the armor that can best resist the keenest weapons of the enemy—contempt and ridicule.�? This insert from the speech is very persuasive because it utilizes pathos. Elizabeth does this by adding allusion to the text, she brings in a well-known woman from the bible and by using a well knows character, it provides evidence to the audience that women can be strong, and courageous and just like men, therefore they deserve equal rights. The message is clear and the readers now feel proud of women and what they are capable of, and agree even more with Elizabeth’s ideas on

She includes anecdotes, many rhetorical devices, and her communication with her audience was stable. To start off her essay she was somewhat sarcastic about taking shelter for an atomic bomb because “.. the only real safety seems to … being somewhere else at the time..” This rhetorical device is sarcasm which supports her argument about people

The two essays that I choose for the synthesis essay are Parkinson’s Alley by Joy Horowitz and The Environmental Issue from Hell: Global Warming Is the Great Moral Crisis of Our Time by Bill Mckibben. Parkinson’s Alley is about residents in California’s Central Valley town of Visalia who have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s. This part of California has the highest number of people diagnosed with the neurodegenerative disease. The pesticides that are used in the surrounding farms seeps into the water that the residents use every day, causing them to get the disease. The Environmental Issue from Hell: Global Warming Is the Great Moral Crisis of Our Time is about how global warming is a moral crisis that, if not combated

When the mother sends her child off to church, she brushes her hair, bathes her, and puts white shoes and gloves on her. This effort put into creating an image of beauty and peace in her child shows that the mother is trying to forget about the suffering of the people who are fighting for freedom that she is doing nothing to aid. When she sees her child this way, she feels that she has

Using uncertainty and stating how the men are meant to know knowledge but women should not even think without consulting the men. She demonstrates this by stating passages from books but not stating which book those passages came from, but a man would know because he is knowledgeable and reads a lot. Also by stating how she is devoted to God and how His opinion and acceptance of her is all that matters shows that the only goal of her life is to be obedient to God and his companions.

Many people don’t know who Julia de Burgos is, little do they know that she was the most influential poet of her time. She truly shaped the idea that women are not to be restricted on how they can express their opinions and ideas. Because she faced a large amount of discrimination, Julia often expressed her views about the world she was living in through her poetry. She was not afraid of expressing her views even though women poets were restricted by society. Julia’s poetry spoke the words of the women who were not able to express their feelings.

I believe the author wrote this document to inform her audience, which would be fellow factory workers and reformers, of the harsh conditions in which these women worked under and how they were brutally killed by the Triangle fire due to lack of safety measured in the factory. I believe that Martha was hoping to help change the safe measure in the factories as far as installing emergency exits and fire extinguishers in factories and also informing their employees about them and what to do in an emergency situation. 7. Give one example from the document that supports your thesis in the reaction paper and explain how this example supports the argument you are making (tie the point back to the main thesis statement).

Though Mary Daly’s work touch on many aspects of life where women are oppressed while offering supporting content from other theorists who ironically happen to all be males while shutting down the hyper-rationalist who makes reason absolute treating it as a God-like manner. Daly’s message for writing this piece is fairly simple. This idea that God the father

I had a unique experience with this essay. I happened to disconnect my internet around the same time that I was assigned to read this essay. I saw first hand what Carr was talking about. When I

Reword the topic sentence of the second main paragraph to better suit it to the thesis. It changed from ‘This can also be seen in the story when every request the narrator makes is denied, despite the fact that the requests probably would’ve helped her get better’ to ‘The fact that women did not have a say at home can also be seen in the story and provides another example of the suppression of women that Gilman criticizes’
