In Women who Think the strongest strategy she uses is irony. She communicates this by showing the not so obvious sexually dividing toys seem to always have a secret agenda. Even when advertised as something unisex orientated. I chose this article because I have three young children and found it interesting how deeply concerned she was about her daughters equal rights and proper exposure to a woman's role in life.
The second part of the title Singing the Pink Blues drew my attention after watching the video in class today about how women are oppressed by the media. Which relates to this articles point of view and how the oppression of women begins at an early age before they can hardly walk.
I am a little confused about the order in which i start analyzing the text. Do I stick with the strategies and jump around the text in the essay or go in order of the text and use the strategies when needed?
You should go in the order of the text and use strategies when needed. This way you have an order, it'll direct your reader as you explain the writers strategies. This way you are interpreting the examples of the strategies by using the text (quotes). I hope that helped.
