The aspect of this work being a play is highlighted with…

‘The Composer’ and ‘Thorwald’ are rather neutral and inconspicuous in the sense that they bare no negative alternative meaning. In reference to the male characters, the lack of pronouns within their labels segregates them from their gender. The female names however, have a direct correlation to their gender due to the pronoun ‘Miss’, suggesting that their names are derived from Jeff’s rather cynical view of women. This is accentuated when Jeff contends that Miss Torso is ‘like a queen bee with…

was an illustration essay, and at the time I handed it in I felt a bit more confident regarding my newfound punctuation skills. Unfortunately, after I received the graded version, I discovered a whole new set of problems. The paper contained many pronoun and antecedent agreement errors. I feel that this particular lesson will be one of the most important, aside from proper punctuation, as I continue along in school, and when I venture out into the business world. There will be plenty of…

Assignment-2 Orlando raises the notion that an androgynous person could have freedom and that gender conventions are based on social and ethical customs and codes that sometimes may appear difficult to understand. Androgyny as an aspect can be seen more accurately in the second part of the novel as it deals with gender and differences between men and women more precisely.
