    In an article published to The Atlantic “Why Are All the Cartoon Mother’s dead?” by Sarah Boxer declares her point of why in a variety of kid’s movies the mother is deceased or missing and the father is present meanwhile in reality the stats are the opposite. She is coming off as a feminist questioning why mothers are not in a majority of Disney Movies and kid movies in general. In a matter of fact she addresses feminism in this article because she keeps throwing jabs about why fathers are the child’s only parent in the children’s movies. Such as, “Is the unconscious goal of these motherless movies to paper over reality? To hint that the world be better without mothers?”(Boxer). This explains my last thought of how she is addressing feminism

    Amy Tan, in ?Mother Tongue,? Does an excellent job at fully explaining her self through many different ways. It?s not hard to see the compassion and love she has for her mother and for her work.

  • Satire

    2526 Words  | 6 Pages

    “Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody’s face but their own” (Swift). Such beholders, as Jonathan Swift astutely emphasizes, are intended, through guidance of satiric narrative, to recognize social or political plights. In some satires, as in Swift’s own A Modest Proposal, the use of absurd, blatant exaggeration is intended to capture an indolent audience’s attention regarding the social state of the poor. Yet even in such a direct satire, there exists another layer of meaning. In regards to A Modest Proposal, the interchange between the voice of the proposer and Swift’s voice introduces another medium of criticism, as well as the opportunity for readers to reflect on how well they may fit the proposer’s persona. In such as case, the satire exists on multiple levels of meaning—not only offering conclusions about moral problems, but also allowing the audience to an interpretation of their place among the criticism.
