Instead of simply quoting Sontag, or saying "Sontag wondered what high strung meant," the writer now has more room to further detail her early age curiosity. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:03 -0500 The reader trusts Porter. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=284502 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25279?scroll_to=284502 In this instance Peter Porter is trusted as a speaker because he is a poet within their circle. His statement connects the reader to the command Plath had as a poet and writer, and we internalize this because of Porter's acquaintance with both Hughes and Plath. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:46:35 -0500 Placement https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275196 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275196 I think we don't hear about her faults until paragraph 6 because if it was placed earlier, the reader would question its credibility from the get-go. We wouldn't internalize Braun's willingness to wait for marriage with Hitler, or Hitler's neglect for family. Instead, we would focus on how Lambert's writing is 'invalid'. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:50 -0500 I agree with what most of the class has said on this. The topic juxtaposes itself- wife of Hitler? It would be hard to imagine a positive review. But, Lambert does a sound job of crediting Ms Braun without praising her, or bashing her either. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275194 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25276?scroll_to=275194 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:50 -0500 It's very possible because of that 'macho' attitude itself. Mailer was listed for having 6 wives, and Hemingway had a few also I believe. Mailer was also known to be bery aggressive even though he was a relatively 'small' guy. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25275?scroll_to=271526 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25275?scroll_to=271526 I'm sure some of that aggression carried over into his writing potentially leading women away from it. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:48 -0500 I think that is a crucial aspect of being a writer. As also stated, it makes you relatable to the reader. Often it's said to 'write about what you know' and hopefully you certainly know about yourself. I think this gives a sort of personal read. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25275?scroll_to=271521 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25275?scroll_to=271521 Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:48 -0500 Agree https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=267735 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=267735 I agree with this. A lot of the fire power towards being able to vote ultimately comes from taking actions that cause a stir, versus simply just demanding the right to vote. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:43 -0500 She took on the position of being a role model; a fighter at that. https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=266486 https://nowcomment.com/documents/25274?scroll_to=266486 She 'embodies this idea' by fundamentally standing up for what she believes in. In paragraph 12, it basically states how she defies the normal statistic of a 'woman' during that time. Her unconventional tryst, to her start up of the Women's Franchise League, she literally 'embodies the idea' of women's suffrage. Sat, 20 Feb 2016 08:45:41 -0500
