Brief Summary Of Quotes From 'Venue' By Emily Brent
#1 While sitting with Vera Claythorne, Emily Brent reveals more about the accusations made about her. “Naturally I did not keep her an hour under my roof. No one shall ever say that I condoned immorality." and "The abandoned creature, not content with having one sin on her conscience, committed a still graver sin. She took her own life." In these quotes, Brent revealed that she had abandoned Beatrice Taylor while she was pregnant, leaving her to take her own life. Miss Brent’s reaction to the accusations made about the other guests is that she automatically believe them. “I remember a text that hung in my nursery as a child.

    Commentary On The Book Speak By Laurie Halse Anderson

    Laurie Halse Anderson is no stranger to the world of censorship and book banning; following the debut of her Printz Honor Award wining book, Speak. Some may argue that this book is considered explicit, but it is considered an awakening for the youth. The fact that the main character is around the adolescent age makes this book a little more relatable to teens. Overall, Speak encourages both teens and adults to speak up about their experiences and seek help if necessary. Through Speak, Anderson addresses rape to young readers, making it relatable to the audience, and encouraging readers to speak up about their own experiences.…

    Analysis Of A Woman Speaks By Audre Lorde

    In 1968, a poet named Audre Lorde wrote poems to create space for ideas to be heard. She believed that poetry was an essential because it generated a language in which it expressed women’s desires and aspirations. During this time period, it was very difficult for women to voice their opinions and talk about their experiences to society. For this reason, Audre Lorde created a platform for women to be empowered and articulate that social change was vital. Audre Lorde wrote a poem called, “A Woman Speaks”, that describes independent women that have the right to do anything that a man does and introduces the idea that women aren’t given a chance to prosper in society, but they’re judged based upon their actions.…

    Margaret Atwood's Speech

    My interpretation of the speeches is shaped by the composer's integration of rhetorical techniques to engage and reflect their personal opinions. The notions of freedom, equality and women's rights explored within these speeches convey both composers’ perspectives influenced by their social values and beliefs. The speeches by Aung San Suu Kyi "Keynote Address at the Beijing World conference on women" and Margaret Atwood "Spotty handed Villainesses," both address the ongoing issues present within a male dominated society and desires to empower women. In the "Keynote Address at the Beijing World conference on women", the composer empowers women by influencing an audience's interpretations on the rights and equality for women. The use of simile…

    The story begins by the new governor of Jefferson sending a deputation to Emily's home to collect her taxes; but, Emily refuses by saying "See Colonel Sartoris . . .

    Compare And Contrast Rappaccini's Daughter And A Rose For Emily

    For, both Emily Grierson and Beatrice Rappaccini are limited to the desires of their fathers. In both Emily's and Beatrice's situations their lives are limited by the restrictions placed upon them (by their fathers). As a result of the limitations of their lives, for example, Emily has bachelors turned away by her father because they do not meet his standards. "None of the suitors were quite good enough for Emily" and Beatrice, of course, is unapproachable for bachelors because she has been "nourished with [the poisonous purple flower's] breath" and will poison anyone who kisses her. While Beatrice is a poison; she does not intend harm to anyone. In fact, she prefers death over harming Giovanni, telling her father that she is going. She asks Giovanni, "Oh was there not, from the first, more poison in thy nature than in mine?" On the other hand, Emily "would not be denied," and has acted selfishlessly, unlike Beatrice, to preserve her lover. So, while the two daughters of each story are similar in their having been controlled by stern fathers, they differ in their acts of free will. Resulting in both having a hunger for love after pushing it away for so long, leading to the death of both daughters and even the…
