Answer:

Great depression/stream of consciousness/Regrets and guilts.

Explanation:

As I Stand here Ironing is the story of Emily's life. Her mother -the narrator- is called by some school officials to talk about Emily's behavior at school. As she stands there ironing, she recalls their lives regretfully.

Emily was born during the Great Depression and her fahter left her and her mother because he wouldn't want to 'share poverty' with them. Her mother went through many hardships to raise her up, including the fact that Emily had to be sent away to live with relatives. Her mother remarried -as a symbol of the Great Depression's end, a rebirth, a new life- and years later Emily's stepfather is sent away to fight in WWII.

Emily seems to have lost faith in life and she sees herself intimidated by her sister. In the end, there is a sense of hope in the narrator's voice but the regretful mood stays on.

The Great Depression and the WWII are both very symbolics historical context, they show hardship, lack of hope, poverty and fear among other negative ideas. The setting and the lonely mother standing there ironing expresses the regret and guilt she has for not having been able to raise Emily differently.

Try to recall the last time you saw or heard a video or audio recording of yourself speaking. What did you like about the way yo
sertanlavr [38]

Answer:

Oh gosh, I had to listen to an audio recording of me doing a speech for my English class to make sure I got it all so this is the perfect time for me to answer this!

What I liked about that way I presented myself is that I was actually able to get all my points across, and in the right order, without going away from the script to much.

What I didn't like for one was my voice (lol) so if I could rerecord that but have someone else speaking for me who sounds more confident and less like me that would be great. Another thing I didn't like was that I sounded nervous, so my points didn't come across as well as they did on paper.

Improvements I would make is actually practicing before diving headfirst into recording, so I can hopefully make they come across stronger. I would also ahead of time research a bit more than I did, and add more facts to the actual debate.

I hope this is a good answer to your questions><
