Read the following quote. What do you think it means? Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? We teach girls shame... We make

them feel as though by being born female they're already guilty of something. And so, girls grow up to be women who cannot see they have desire. They grow up to be women who silence themselves. They grow up to be women who cannot say what they truly think, and they grow up -- and this is the worst thing we did to girls -- they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form. Note: Pretense is defined as attempting to make something that is false true. Meaning they lie in order to make something true, or they are faking their emotions, feelings, wishes. In the space below, write one paragraph (4-6 complete sentences) that explains what you think the quote means. Do you agree or disagree with the speaker? Provide your response with opinions or examples to support your explanation.

I think this quote is explaining how girls are taught from the beginning, shame. When girls turn into women, they believe they must be quiet, they must be happy, and they must be perfect. I disagree with this quote for this generation. I believe that we have broken through those previous barriers and are now teaching women strength, courageousness, and the power to be ourselves. I do agree with the line, "they grow up to be women who have turned pretense into an art form.". From my experience, I believe that women cannot have the same emotions as men, because it may come across different. A powerful woman is seen as snarky or rude, whereas a powerful man is admired.

Answer:

Huck reacts by not being able to speak or breathe because he is so scared. I think he is starting to realize that life isn't forever and life can be quickly ended by other people, so you have to be careful with what kind of situations you put yourself in and who you surround yourself with.

How did the author construct "Why It Worked: A Rhetorical Analysis of Obama's Speech on Race?" What are your views on the analys
Alik [6]

Answer and Explanation:

The author built the article showing the strategies that Obama used in his speech to reduce his disadvantages during the presidential campaign. The speech's author shows that in addition to being a good orator, Obama was also a great writer who knew words and rhetorical and literary traits very well, being able to efficiently use allusions, resonance, duality and a strong content of ethos and pathos. .

Given this explanation and after listening to Obama's speech, we can agree with the author because it is evident that Obama's speech was very well thought out and planned as a success point in his candidacy.
