Using the psychological and gender strategies in analyzing “A Jury for Her Peers” and “A Rose for Emily”, I plan to reveal the impact that loneliness has on one’s mental state. Various psychological as well as gender strategies could be used in the understanding of the impacts of loneliness on people from across the genders. With an application of a more cognitive strategy, there is the establishment of an understanding of the impacts of loneliness on both men and women as well as some of the psychological impacts that are associated with this. The state of loneliness affects one in a different number of ways. Others could critically argue for or against loneliness and as such employ the various schools of thoughts in illumination of the psychological …show more content…
as well as well as gender understanding of the aspects of loneliness. Whichever case this aspect is viewed; the impacts of loneliness are more of the same especially with regard to the various emotional impacts which could be exposed to an individual. The universal human emotion is complex as well as unique and is usually manifested in the different forms. Loneliness is characterized with some types of jobs that are done by individuals which require that most of the time they are in lone environments. Loneliness has no definite cause but the treatments as well as prevention vary dramatically.
Loneliness can be caused by different deficiencies and as such, the therapy for the different types of loneliness is seen as being different given the circumstances. For instance, a lonely child who is struggling to have friends at school has totally different needs from the lonely old man who has just recently lost the wife. Depressions is common in both men and women especially depending on the circumstances surrounding the loneliness. Some couples could be married but at the same time you will observe that the wives are often lonely and need to be loved. This could be maybe because of the fact that the husband is often busy and has quite a tight …show more content…
schedule. Loneliness has significant impacts on the mental state of an individual. In most cases, individuals who are lonely suffer from depression. Depressions are the mental state where an individual is stressed due to the fact that they do experience very poor social interactions. With the fewer social interactions, people will tend to stay alone while hidden behind closed doors. This has a direct impact on their personality as well as the development of their brains. Some side effects are associated with loneliness additionally. Lonely people tend to engage in several anti-social behaviors such as being so much into drugs and alcohol. This will happen especially in cases where they are lonely but better still have nothing significant to keep them engaged. On analysis of the article “A Jury of Her Peers”, Keetley is seen as considering Minnie as the epitome of the individual predicaments and the proxy of the fulfillment of wishes rather than an individual who might or not be responsible for any particular undertaking, say murder. In this article, the author addresses all the basic concepts which show the basic wish to find some usefulness in the narrative. In his essay, Ortiz addresses the relevance of the experience by women in the Glaspell’s illustration of the legal justice within the context of “A Jury of Her Peers.” The author asserts that the effective way of comprehending the subjectivity is through imagining that each individual is a subject.
Being that each individual is subject to a particular environment, they are often exposed to dynamism, which is directly related to these environmental conditions that they are exposed to. As the subject of specific environments, the particular identity of an individual gets to be generated by geography, times, gender, as well as the age which will truly define the various variables. Ortiz had the conviction that actions, thoughts, as well as feelings of individuals are usually informed in by the circumstances or given situations. Loneliness is usually the state of mind where people feel like they are all alone and as such their psychological well-being is greatly impacted. The individualized view is subjectivity of a given individual or the means through which an individual know what they
know. Emotional and Physiological Impacts of Loneliness Emotional On the emotional impacts, there is the perception that social support is usually inadequate and that has a direct relation with depression. In the event that depression is severe and untreated, it is directly associated with an increased disability, weight loss, disturbance in sleep as well as thoughts of suicide. It can even lead to the self-defeating sense where an individual tends to be hopeless which could help in perpetuation of isolation. A vicious unrelenting cycle repeatedly occurs when an individual does not seek an intervention. Physiological The loneliness is usually associated with the problematic changes within the cardiovascular, hormonal as well as the immune systems. The resultant effect will be the chronic counterproductive inflammatory state that will damage the heart, reduce the capacity of an individual to resist infections as well as promoting the loss of bones as well as muscles. As seen from the texts, loneliness is also associated with a condition referred to as frailty. Independence is greatly minimized where the vulnerability approach is at its maximum in this old age condition.
In 102 Minutes, Chapter 7, authors Dwyer and Flynn use ethos, logos, and pathos to appeal to the readers’ consciences, minds and hearts regarding what happened to the people inside the Twin Towers on 9/11. Of particular interest are the following uses of the three appeals.
In the book Into the Wild, Jon Krakauer wrote about Christopher McCandless, a nature lover in search for independence, in a mysterious and hopeful experience. Even though Krakauer tells us McCandless was going to die from the beginning, he still gave him a chance for survival. As a reader I wanted McCandless to survive. In Into the Wild, Krakauer gave McCandless a unique perspective. He was a smart and unique person that wanted to be completely free from society. Krakauer included comments from people that said McCandless was crazy, and his death was his own mistake. However, Krakauer is able to make him seem like a brave person. The connections between other hikers and himself helped in the explanation of McCandless’s rational actions. Krakauer is able to make McCandless look like a normal person, but unique from this generation. In order for Krakauer to make Christopher McCandless not look like a crazy person, but a special person, I will analyze the persuading style that Krakauer used in Into the Wild that made us believe McCandless was a regular young adult.
During the late 1800’s and early 1900’s the fight for equal and just treatment for both women and children was one of the most historically prominent movements in America. Courageous women everywhere fought, protested and petitioned with the hope that they would achieve equal rights and better treatment for all, especially children. One of these women is known as Florence Kelley. On July 22, 1905, Kelley made her mark on the nation when she delivered a speech before the National American Woman Suffrage Association, raising awareness of the cruel truth of the severity behind child labor through the use of repetition, imagery and oxymorons.
A story of murder, fear, and the temptation of betrayal is one that easily snatches up the attention of audiences. In “A Jury of Her Peers” by Susan Glaspell, the author uses her southern female characters to emphasize the direct relationship between friendship and connection. Her plot circles around the disastrous discovery of their fellow housewife’s marital murder, and the events that unfolded causing their ultimate decision in prosecuting or shielding her from the men in the story. The author implements revealing dialogue with subtle detailing and glaring symbolism to display the coveted friendships among women above other relationships and that the paths they take to secure them stem from inveterate personal connections.
I chose this word because the tone of the first chapter seems rather dark. We hear stories of the hopes with which the Puritans arrived in the new world; however, these hopes quickly turned dark because the Purtains found that the first buildings they needed to create were a prison, which alludes to the sins they committed; and a cemetery, which contradicts the new life they hoped to create for themselves.
I-Chieh Chen (2015) in The study The Scale for the Loneliness of College Students in Taiwan (http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jedp/article/download/46795/25238) stated that Loneliness was initially studied by Sullivan (1953) (A Peplau, D Perlman, LA Peplau… - Loneliness: A …, 1982 - peplaulab.ucla.edu) who proposed that loneliness was an unpleasant and intense experience related to unsatisfied requirements for intimacy (http://www.ccsenet.org/journal/index.php/jedp/article/download/46795/25238). Sullivan’s research was all but neglected in his time. This neglect lasted until 1973, when Weiss, an American scholar who was an adherent of Bowlby’s attachment theory, published an article entitled “Loneliness: the experience of emotional and social isolation” (RS Weiss - 1973 - psycnet.apa.org).
Stephen Marche Lets us know that loneliness is “not a state of being alone”, which he describes as external conditions rather than a psychological state. He states that “Solitude can be lovely. Crowded parties can be agony.”
According to Helen Sword (2012 pg.48), “A carefully crafted sentence welcomes its reader like a comfortable rocking chair” and “helps its reader navigate tricky terrain like a well-hewn walking stick”. Therefore, varying styles and methods of sentences are an important construct in the written language. Hence through examining Julia Gillard’s and Rebecca Sloan’s use of sentence structure and grammar, this rhetorical analysis will attempt to explore how differing mediums and cultural contexts of writers portrays their credibility which are effectively used to convey a particular agenda to their intended audience.
Loneliness is the sadness resulting from being forsaken or abandoned. John Steinbeck brought up the theme of loneliness in many characters in Of Mice and Men. Crooks, Curley?s wife, and Candy expressed the theme of loneliness in many different forms throughout the story. Early in the novella George said, life working as ranch hands is on the loneliness lives to live, for these people finding friendship seems to be impossible.
Pollan’s article provides a solid base to the conversation, defining what to do in order to eat healthy. Holding this concept of eating healthy, Joe Pinsker in “Why So Many Rich Kids Come to Enjoy the Taste of Healthier Foods” enters into the conversation and questions the connection of difference in families’ income and how healthy children eat (129-132). He argues that how much families earn largely affect how healthy children eat — income is one of the most important factors preventing people from eating healthy (129-132). In his article, Pinsker utilizes a study done by Caitlin Daniel to illustrate that level of income does affect children’s diet (130). In Daniel’s research, among 75 Boston-area parents, those rich families value children’s healthy diet more than food wasted when children refused to accept those healthier but
In a quote by John Mill, “Does fining a criminal show want of respect for property, or imprisoning him, for personal freedom? Just as unreasonable is it to think that to take the life of a man who has taken that of another is to show want of regard for human life. We show, on the contrary, most emphatically our regard for it, by the adoption of a rule that he who violates that right in another forfeits it for himself, and that while no other crime that he can commit deprives him of his right to live, this shall.” Everyone’s life is precious, but at what price? Is it okay to let a murderer to do as they please? Reader, please take a moment and reflect on this issue. The issue will always be a conflict of beliefs and moral standards. The topic
“All oppressed people seize whatever weapons they can to fight oppression.” This statement,by John Lowe, proves to be an important aspect of the theme in the short story, A Jury of Her Peers. In this case, the weapon that Mrs. Hale and Mrs. Peters seize is silence. By keeping their silence, they are withholding what the men want most, which is to find evidence that leads them to know that Mrs. Wright was the murderer. The motives for the murder of Mr. Wright in the short story, A Jury of her Peers, are elaborated throughout the use of flashbacks, an oppressive tone, and omniscient third-person point of view.
The movie trailer “Rio 2”, shows a great deal of pathos, ethos, and logos. These rhetorical appeals are hidden throughout the movie trailer; however, they can be recognized if paying attention to the details and montage of the video. I am attracted to this type of movies due to the positive life messages and the innocent, but funny personifications from the characters; therefore, the following rhetorical analysis will give a brief explanation of the scenes, point out the characteristics of persuasive appeals and how people can be easily persuaded by using this technique, and my own interpretation of the message presented in the trailer.
Jonathan Kozol revealed the early period’s situation of education in American schools in his article Savage Inequalities. It seems like during that period, the inequality existed everywhere and no one had the ability to change it; however, Kozol tried his best to turn around this situation and keep track of all he saw. In the article, he used rhetorical strategies effectively to describe what he saw in that situation, such as pathos, logos and ethos.
Everyone has been lonely once in their lives; when a person is lonely they can begin to exhibit strange behaviors, they can become paranoid, hallucinate, or project inner thoughts into their realities. Most people who are lonely usually live alone and prefer to be a closed off from the outside world. In Miss Brill by Katherine Mansfield, she shows her loneliness by using others peoples lives for her enjoyment, for thinking she and everyone else was on a stage, also by snapping to reality when treated with cruelty. However, not having any companions, such as, friends and pets could also cause loneliness. When you’re not in tune with the outside world, your mind wanders, you make up things to fill in the gaps or the realities of the world. Mansfield shows us how feelings can lead to the unthinkable.
