    The sonnet begins with the death of both pleasure and pain. Pain is described with the typically masculine traits of being “stern [and] hard featured” (2), yet is described with the feminine pronoun of “her” (3).

    addition, Thomas Wheatley also believes that Transgenders are changing a lot of default definitions and norms. Because they are transgender so it is not right to call them he/him/his or she/her, they are not fully male or female so “gender-neutral pronouns such as “nir”,” vis”, or “ze” will take the place. Similarly, meaningful holiday such as Mother’s Day or Father’s Day will become a confusion, “I do not want to vilify Mother’s Day as transphobic or chide basic chivalry as wrongful…

    Martin Luther King Jr once said “We are not makers of history. We are made by history.” Some would agree with this statement. Some would disagree. It’s an eternal debate over the role history plays in the present. And often, more importantly, the question is what is history itself and whose narrative is at the core. In her reflective, but argumentative, essay entitled “In History”, Jamaica Kincaid analyzes how these ideas-- what is history and how does what happened in the past impact us today--…

    Disappearing pronouns and the sense of self, Fallows talked about how the locals never say I (我), you (你), he (他), or she (她) often because it isn’t needed and there could be a lot of overuse. I realized that whenever I am doing an assignment at home or school, I always add in an extra 我, 你, 他, or 她 just because I feel as if I need to make clear about who I am talking about. As Fallows writes in this chapter, the reasoning behind this is because we are taught at a young age that pronouns are…
