In her speech, Emmeline Pankhurst, a female militant suffragist, primarily speaks for the women’s rights, including the women suffrage, by taking extreme, powerful, stance, or tone, establishing a structure that focuses on evoking empathy from men, and using various persuasive techniques. Her powerful, extreme (yet admirable), tone can be seen throughout the whole passage. How she uses the personal pronouns plays a key role in interpreting her tone and her stance. In detail, the use of pronoun “I,” which is made very frequently, really shows how confident she is about the reasoning she is providing the audience with. In her beginning paragraph, there does not exist a single independent clause that does not start with, or contain, “I …show more content…
She adds onto this powerful emphasis by connecting that her occupation is a soldier with the allusion of the current circumstance to the “civil war,” and that she had “temporarily left the field of battle.” She continues to allude the women’s situation to the civil war, speaking of the “inevitableness of revolution and civil war” that men has brought and justifying the women’s action if they were to adapt “revolutionary methods in order to win the rights of citizenship.” Additionally, she begins to express the unjustly inferior position of women by offering the probable ease that she would have enjoyed, due to the absurd superiority of men’s social position, if she were a man: she repeatedly makes use of the hypothetical statement by ending with “if I were a man” as well as stating phrases such as “meaning men” and “being a men” in the middle. Furthermore, the effects attained from these repetitions are reinforced by her sarcasm: “I come from a country which professes to
She states many of her opinions on how the press should stop telling and spreading false events and ideas in the newspaper. When given the chance she tells her audience journalist about how the American press about her feels and how she feels challenged by them. Overall, the beginning of her speech tells the audience how she is going to state information and how they should listen to
Then she takes note of "shooting in the valleys" and, in a statement which condemns Israeli violence and occupation, she says:
Even though men said the battlefield was no place for women, these ladies contributed in their own ways. One of the main ways women committed to the war effort was by taking the job of a nurse (Youhn). Women had a lot more experience caring for the sick and wounded, along with keeping a room sterile, than men (Youhn). Some of these

Dave Barry, a humorous author writes “Guys vs Men” to try to enlighten the term “man”. He focuses on certain aspects that separate guys and men to separate stereotypical characteristics. Barry entertains readers as he uses funny comparisons, analogies, and entertaining punch lines to support his what he thinks the distinct differences between guys and men really are. Barry argues the idea that “man”, is a term that comes with responsibility and unwritten expectations for guys. The intent is to stress that there is another way to look at males, perhaps not characterize as characteristically masculine, but just as a “guy”.

War, a word that often describes the aftermath of a disagreement tends to often become a topic of conversation amongst Americans today. Since the founding of our fathers we have faced ample amounts of conflict. Justice amongst these circumstances is not easy to reach, sacrifices had been made and will continue to until the conclusion is met. While their loved ones are away, the families of the fighting soldiers face daily obstacles. These sacrifices often become overlooked and taken for granted. Women have always played an important role in the success of family life and the well being of our country under these circumstances; through the years, these tasks have ranged from work on the assembly lines to performing seamstress duties for a soldier’s uniform. Without this unwarranted support, we’d be at a loss during these disheartening times.
