Question

We need more female superheroes. The ones we have are rarely given the same narrative time as their male counterparts, and they are usually presented in outfits that appeal to men. I propose we create more female superheroes with their own stories, their own powers, and their own choice of outfit. Should they get equal narrative space . . . or not? Did you answer yes in a Flash? Can you quote one female superhero? Do you know her backstory like kryptonite or spider bites? If your answer is no, then it’s time for more narrative time and backstory for our female superheroes.Which techniques does the author most use to advance their purpose?

Answer 1

The author primarily uses description and point of view to advance their purpose.

1. Description: The author provides details about the current state of female superheroes—how they are often underrepresented and given less narrative focus compared to male superheroes. This description helps to illustrate the issue at hand.

2. Point of view: The author's perspective on the need for more female superheroes and the importance of giving them equal narrative space reflects their own stance on gender representation in superhero stories.

Allusion and connotation may also be present, but the primary techniques used here align more closely with description and point of view.
