Though Kathleen Parker explained herself well with description, there was a lot of opinion that could’ve been explained better without offending anyone by not femininely attacking Roseanne Barr.
Good argumentative writing includes facts and evidence of what the person would be arguing about. Parker had a good descriptive argumentative overview, but made Roseanne sound like a racist, when clearly Roseanne isn’t racist from what she had described in other video interviews. Parker had plenty of informal fallacies throughout the page where it talks about where Roseanne linked to being a Trump supporter for example, “Frankly, after Barr’s screeching, crotch-grabbing,” para 11. This shows us one informal fallacy where she was depicted to be like

Trump when he said, “I would grab her by the pussy.” This could lead the audience to think wrong of Roseanne in several ways. We may think she is racist, a hater of blacks, latinos, and more. There are even more passages where Roseanne is once again depicted as a racist Trump supporter. For example when Parker said, “Trump and Barr are to be credited with shining a light on America's underbelly,” para 14. This honestly shows the large amount of hate towards Roseanne and even Trump and his supporters. Another false fallacy is when she also brought up where, “Barr tweeted that Rice, also African American was a man with big swinging ape balls,” para 8.
This right here also shows us that Parker wants us to see that not only she supports Trump, but she hates African Americans or even likes to make fun of them. Also, another example of hating on other racist Parker also brings up that Roseanne hates muslims too in another one of her tweets. “Muslim brotherhood and planet of the apes had a baby,” para 3. That passage is the one where she explains the “hate” Roseanne has towards muslims. Even in the very top of Parkers post it states the deep hate and dislike Parker has toward Barr. For example where it states, “Roseanne Barr’s appeal has so long eluded me that her further fall from disgrace has failed to dislodge even the slightest pebble of pity, though pitiful she is,” para 1. That right there strongly describes Parkers hate and by her using strong Pathos description in her passage and saying, “slightest pebble of pity, though pitiful she is,” para 1. It really makes the reader think, wow, she really doesn’t like Roseanne, because of her descriptive …show more content…
wording. To further move along with these informal fallacies that Parker has described in her passage, she describes where ABC decided to take Roseanne out because of her injust, racist personality.
For example paragraph 10, “it didn’t take guts for ABC to cancel Roseanne,” para 10. This coulda been for several reasons, but we obviously see Parkers side of the story that makes Roseanne look like a super, ultra racist woman. Although Parker could’ve said other things about her explaining how she may have misinterpreted certain moments, but she absolutely ridiculed Roseanne into saying she was racist and a Trump supporter. This also goes against other Roseanne supported that strong supported her in all her shows and thought she was a funny person and never took those comments as
racism. Not to mention Parker also associated herself with Mrs Jarrett in paragraph 13. She explained that she was a, “strong, intelligent, well educated, service-driven woman,” para 13, and how she considered her as a friend and how she well hoped that she was on her side as well. Parker really limited her readers into thinking very badly of Roseanne and how she femininely attacked her. It is clearly to say that Parker hates Roseanne, but not so much as the readers that could be either supporters of Roseanne or just mutual people who really don’t care, or don’t even know Roseanne on that level. According to the evaluation it looks like Parker just tends to run into conclusions and judge people so quickly. Moving on the the last part of Roseanne's evaluation, we see that Mrs. Barrs not only getting a lot of hate comments but she is also depicting her as some racist woman that hates all races that are not white. When then again this does not show who Roseanne truly is as a person. For all we know she could love everyone equally no matter what and Parker is just one of those haters on the web looking for attention. All the people who read this article must be thinking, how cruel it was for Roseanne to be hated, while other thought it was so true. So we can keep in mind that although Kathleen Parker explained herself well with description, like I said before there is a lot of opinion that could’ve been explained better without offending anyone and by not femininely attacking Roseanne Barr.
..., she was merely trying to make her point known and knew that she must be forceful about her beliefs to order to get attention and get her point across. Stanton is a woman to honor for the work and success she accomplished in the fight for womenâs rights.
Although this is not as clearly seen in the story as are Parker’s principles and his expertise, we are given a few good examples of how he seems to care for other people’s wellbeing more than his own. One such example, Parker is in the limousine with Stegman, he tells Stegman to be careful of the kids on the street while Stegman is driving. (Stark 37). This brief statement implies that Parker is very concerned with the wellbeing of children and that he would never want harm to come to them. This idea of altruism can be safely implied, since this thought interrupted his attention while dealing with a very tense subject. Additionally we see Parker cares for his friends because he puts himself in harm’s way with the cops, by defending his friend’s father Delgardo in the grocery store. Here to we have to summarize that Parker has an affinity for other criminals. It’s almost as though Parker believes that it would be wrong to not defend other criminals. Supporting this thought we see that Parker says that he doesn’t hit (steal from) other criminals “because you people are on the same side as us (Stark 166).” Finally we see that Parker seems to believe in being a gentlemen towards women, although this seems contradictory to all of his other actions towards women. A perfect example of Parker being a gentleman is seen when he is attempting to collect the forty five thousand dollar pay off at the
Rose uses very detailed description of what his mother did on a regular basis to get a point across to his readers. He wants us to see that working a blue collar job requires a tremendous amount of brain power. And the reason he is so successful, is because of the detail he uses. When I read this specific paragraph I honestly can imagine what Rosie used to do while at her job. How she adapted to new situations. How she was able to remember what each person ordered out the nine tables she was in charge of. To being able to know if something was taking too long to cook and check-in with the chef to see if there was a problem. These are just some of the problems Rosie would face each day while working as a waitress. I believe that even today waitresses are looked down upon by most people. But they are hard working people and deserve respect for what they
From the beginning of the episode, the mother (Roseanne) goes to work. This is an unusual gender role because the father has traditionally been the one in the family to work consistent hours for his job. Next, the father in Roseanne admits to not doing much of anything throughout the day, while the mother was at work. Finally, Roseanne speaks to her friends and co-workers in a way that is very pro-feminist. She even said, “Good men don’t just happen, they have to be created by us women.” Roseanne is a great example of non-traditional gender roles in the way the mother and the father are shown through the
Selina was elated to have met Gordon however in turn her home life was made more difficult as a result of this friendship. Every day before Ole Pa would leave for 'Mens' she would ask him to take her to the park. More often than not, he would get angry and say no leaving Selina to think up some conniving way to get him to say yes. Being with Gordon was slowly teaching her to speak her mind and state her opinions. Rose-Ann seemed to feel that Selina was just a commodity who shouldn't think or speak. Almost whenever Selina spoke Rose-Ann would cuff her for the 'rudeness.' This made Selina more and more bold and the consequences got tougher for her to handle. At one point, Selina is so terrified of Rose-Ann rage that she hides under the bed. Rose-Ann drags her out screaming "Oh you slut. Oh you slut!" Selina is no slut.
Rose Mary was able to get her family to live with her husband’s parents but the children’s security was now jeopardized. This is because Rose Mary fails to acknowledge the negative acts of sexual abuse committed against her daughter Jeanette by her husband’s brother Stanley. In the book it states, “Mom asked if I was okay. I shrugged and nodded. ‘Well, there you go,’ she said. She said that sexual assault was a crime of perception. ‘If you don’t think you’re hurt, then you aren’t,’ she said. ‘So many women make such a big deal out of these things. But your stronger than that.’ She went back to her crossword puzzle.”(Walls 184). In this unexpected share of dialogue, the collision between perspectives begins and tension builds between Jeanette and Rose Mary Walls. Not only does Rose Mary Walls disregards Jeanette’s feeling and trauma, she sets up her position on sexual abuse for any hypothetical future situations with her other children. The acts within these moments of the memoir demonstrate Rose Mary’s unreasonable and detrimental perception on sexual abuse and ultimately she provides no support for Jeanette and places a harmful neglect on Jeanette’s feelings.. As the narrative progresses, Rose Mary Walls decides to share more of what she believes and her perspective on
The diction used in this scene shows the strength in Rose’s voice. “I’ll take care of your baby for you… cause… like you say… she’s innocent… and you can’t visit the sins of the father upon the child. A motherless child has got a hard time. From right now... this child got a mother. But you a womanless man.” This scene is very emotional and climatic. The bluntness of Rose’s words and the lack of sympathy she has for Troy shows the reader how little love Rose has left for him. The last sentence of the quote is really what leaves the reader’s jaw dropped. Wilson allows Rose to say so much with so little. In addition, her strength in this scene is very admirable. For me, I see my own mother in Rose. Most people admire their mother and see them as a mentally strong person. That being said, I am able to empathize with Rose because I am able to relate her to my own mother. I think that if my mother was in the same situation as Rose, she would have taken the baby in as her own as
...sexual people if it was wrong, would she. Seeing how comfortable the characters of the show were with this “issue”, other people may have started reconsidering their stance. The show also did a fantastic job of teaching people things they could do within their own families to strengthen their bonds. Just because you disagree with something someone does or says does not mean that you cannot still be close. Even when major life problems occurred, such as Becky eloping at 17, the family overcame this obstacle. It took time, but they were a family and love won. This is a great show to watch and learn some family values. Many people wish their family were more like the Conner family. Roseanne was and is functional to society because although some bad things happened along the way, society had the chance to learn from the Conner’s mistakes and from their accomplishments.
(Lorna Simpson) majority of Simpson 's work uses the black woman’s body and embraces every part of it, from her skin tone, to her hair, and every one of her facial features. Lorna Simpson does not care that people are offended by her artwork because it is not intended for them, she makes it clear that if you are taking umbrage to her work than it is simply not intended for you. (Lorna Simpson) Lorna Simpson’s message to little black girls is beyond powerful because representation is very important, Lorna has a young daughter and she said that she never wants her daughter to feel like she is not important. We live in a society that sees black kids as both less innocent and older than white children, not so much with little girls but also with young black males. A study published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that “black boys can be seen as responsible for their actions at an age when white boys still benefit from the assumption that children are essentially innocent. The U.S. Department of Education revealed in a report that black children face discrimination as early as preschool.” (Naadeyah Haseeb 1) black kids need people to look up to for how to live and feel confident just as adults do and that is why Lorna Simpson does not care about people criticizing her work and not appreciating it because she is appealing to an audience that needs her work as
Pete, representing erratic male rage in the novel, has a history of abusing Rose. This climaxes when he breaks her arm. It follows a terrible logic that since male rage hurts her body, so does her own, the impetus of which is provided by the patriarchal system. Ginny's description of Pete fits Rose equally well, with an anger that "would be quiet, but corrosive, erupting at odd times" (31).
In her autobiography, ‘The Long Shadow of Little Rock’ Daisy boasts of her adoration for her father Smith. Bates admiration for the man was sure as she mentioned in her memoirs that he was a man strong, apt to listen to her, behaved respectfully towards her, an unselfish gentleman. In addition to the attribution of the activist attributed her strong sense of self to these characteristics that her adopted father exhibited that shifted her social perceptions. It had been Smith, who shaped the young woman into the person that she would later become training her how to cope with racism in the
At first glimpse, Rose Maxson is your typical African American housewife at those times. She is often seen tending to the needs of her family, cooking and doing the laundry. Despite Troy’s abrasive nature, she sticks with him for the majority of the play. While she may seem like an average housewife, she is not submissive and is always calling Troy out whenever he is being inappropriate, or when he tells one of his stories and is
...n the woman at the bar in the movie. Norma, Charlie’s sister, was another important character who wasn’t featured in the film. She was part of the reason why Charlie was sent away. As a child she hated Charlie because he would constantly ruin things for her, like the ‘A-Paper’ incident. “Not you. You don’t tell. It’s my mark, and I’m going to tell” (81). She always felt like Charlie was a nuisance as well “He’s like a baby” (81). In the film, Rose wasn’t as senile as the novel portrayed her. She seemed to have Norma’s sense of compassion from the novel which made her character rather puzzling. In conclusion, there was a difference of characters in the film.
