Looking at Women(Analytical Essay)
Analytical Essay
Sometime the way people look at women, in a way, makes them objects/things. Scott Russell Sanders is analyzing why this happens, but also shows that he doesn’t agree to it. The strategies that sanders seem to use the most are illustration, references, questioning and also how his style of writing turns something complex into a simpler form. Almost a conversational way. By doing this he does get his points across and lets us understand his view as well as others. Sander starts off with an illustration. Telling us a story of him and his friend, and how they felt when a girl passed by with her pink shorts. He tells us about a weird feeling in his stomach when he checks the girl out. A felling that he had never felt but that brought to him interest on that topic we see this when he says, “How? I wonder”(133). He kept wondering until college. In college he was still questioning a lot of things, but with a lot more depth. He tells us the story of how his roommate hangs playboy pictures on his wall. He says how he is tempted and there is times when desire takes over. Here it gets somewhat confusing, and he brings in the references strategy. He quotes a line from books and he bases his conclusion upon discussing the quote. He doesn’t always agree with them in a way he even mocks them. I think that he cites a lot of quotes to simplify his explanation but also to show that a lot of people also wonder about the intrigued mystery of desire and women. And of course to show that there are many theories out there but he doesn’t believe in all. Sander also wonders how women feel and if they put on makeup and dresses how they dress on purpose or is it just normal. Him wondering this brought disgust to him. For example it says, “Whatever their motives, these women had chosen to put themselves on display.” Here he starts wondering why women display so much. And then a couple of line down he say, “Men ogling such photographs, are supposed to feel that
