<u>Answer:</u>

The depictions of nature of female power in the poems Siren Song and Aunt Jennifer's Tigers is in complete contrast with each other.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In the poem "Siren Song" female is shown as the one who holds the power over various men whereas in Aunt Jennifer's Tigers, the female is shown to be suppressed by her own husband.

In the poem Aunt Jennifer's Tigers, Aunt Jennifer is shown to express her feelings of wanting freedom and independence through her sewn tigers, which depict how she had been suppressed by her husband her entire life and has always wanted to escape like the tigers go "prancing, proud and unfraid"

whereas the poem The Siren Song shows men to be lured by a woman's call towards herself make the foolish and lustful men attracted leading to their own destruction on the fateful rocks thus showing the power women have on men which is in contradiction to the other poem.

In this speech, Michelle Obama seeks to promote her programe "Let Girls Learn" and celebrate its first anniversary. Ms Obama firstly explains that this programe arouse from the anger and outrage that the lack of education for women worldwide caused her and all people involved. She states that barriers for girls education are not merely economical, but attitudinal and legal. "In my lifetime" she says "it was perfectly legal for employers to discrimate against women". She further explains that the rights that women gained and now posse are being taken for granted while they are "at risk of being rolled back". These rights, she explained, were attained through protests and negociations, and for this, education was key.

She then provides touching examples of girls from developing countries and how they fought to beat their circumstances and become their own person. Because, she claims, "girls know that education is their only path to self sufficiency, the only chance of shaping their own fate".

Finally, she praises the US Government for leading the way in the issue, through scholarships, investments and the building of infrastructure. She explains that big corporations and even other countries like Japan, the UK and South Korea are involved in the project, along with people worldwide who participates and volunteer.

Ms. Obama is clearly involved with this issue, and the emotion can be felt through her words. The information she shares is veridic and reliable. And even though she seeks to promote her programe and her husband's administration in the process, I believe she is truly commited to helping women around the world.

The speech: Watch Michelle Obama speak on International Women's Day

Is the sentence simple or compound?
Vlad1618 [11]
It is a compound sentence, because this sentence consists of two independent clauses ('the lamp fell over' and '(the lamp) scared the cat"). Simple sentence would have only one independent clause.
