Lass Of Aughrim Rhetorical Analysis
Nina Gonzalez
English Composition II – Essay 1 Revision
Question 3

Marriage is something that is not for everyone. There are many things that go along with marriage. Some are positive and some are negative. The relationship between two humans is very complicated. For example, if a couple does not agree upon something it may cause a fight. As seen in two stories we have covered, the relationships are not completely solid. Misunderstandings and secrets often cause Gabriel and Gretta Conroy, and Elisa and her husband Henry, have many complications.

To begin with, both couples have a difficulty with communicating. Gabriel seems to have not been aware of his wife's past. He finds it difficult to handle hearing about Michael Furey; “The smile passed away from Gabriel's face. A dull anger began to gather again at the back of his mind and the dull fires of his lust began to glow angrily in his veins;” he was thrown back by the news of his wife's past love affair. This is the woman Gabriel is married to, therefore, he should know about her past. Gabriel was also struggling with his outlook in life. Towards the end of the story, Gabriel has an epiphany and we are left with no exact answer as to what results come from it. The song, “The Lass of Aughrim,” brings tears to the eyes of Gretta Conroy. As a good husband, Gabriel should know what …show more content…
Whether it is from past relationships to the hope for communication. Gabriel and Gretta have not completely uncovered their past. This secret causes Gabriel to rethink his life and the way he should live it. As for Elisa and Henry, things are much more complicated. There is not much of a secret but more of a wish of sharing the same interests. Both couples have epiphanies. For example, Elisa realizes that she needs her husband, though they may not understand each other completely.

    Essay on the Miraculous Day of Amalia Gomez

    Amalia recollects memories of her past jumping from one event to another without regard of any constant timeline. One reoccurring concept throughout her life is her dependency upon her lover or husband to support her. This dependency stemmed from a deep rooted psychological value that prevented Amalia from realizing there was more options that relying on a man for income. In the instances of her first marriage she was forced to marry because she would not be able to support a child and she was now too impure for any man to love her. Her first husband Salvador mistreated her as his wife which led to Amalia’s attraction to Gabriel because of his kind heart and tenderness, also his name was a religious one which Amalia relied on Gabriel’s religious ties to convince herself that a man with a holy name could not be aggressive. Many of the causes of Amalia’s problems stem from her barbaric viewpoint on life and past tendencies. Amalia is satisfied living an oblivious life because she believes that as long as she isn’t fully aware of the situation that everything will turn out fine.…

    In South Central, Los Angeles, there is a food epidemic taking place among the population. For miles and miles, the only easily attainable food source is fast food; causing the overconsumption of un-nutritious, greasy, and fattening food. This is the problem brought to the public’s attention by speaker Ron Finley in his Ted Talks speech, “A Guerilla Gardener in South Central L.A.” Finley explains how everywhere he looks in his native South Central, all he sees are fast food chains and Dialysis clinics opened due to the lack of nutritious food. Finley views the lack of a healthy food source as a serious problem, and brings up his point; there are miles of vacant lots throughout Los Angeles, all of which could be used for the cultivation of healthy fruits and vegetables to better the urban community’s diet and health.…

    Comparison of Destiny in Antigone and Tess of the D'Urbervilles

    Another event that occurs by mere chance in Tess's life is when Tess slips a letter of confession underneath both her lover's door and (by accident) the carpet, where he could not see it. Thus, Tess marries Angel under the impression that he has been informed of her past, when in fact he is ignorant of her former actions. After their marriage Tess enlightens Angel of her previous affairs when she realizes he has not received her letter and is surprised by his extremely disgusted reaction. Angel is regretful to have been informed of Tess's past after he has married her, as he now feels he has morally wronged in marrying an impure woman. As they had vowed, Tess and Angel stay married, although Angel cannot forgive Tess for her actions, and thus they separate temporarily. The coincidence in which the letter slipped under the carpet lead to Angel and Tess's…
