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? Select the two correct answers. (1 point) Responses connotation connotation description description allusion allusion point of view point of view ellipsis

Answer 1

The author most uses connotation and description to advance their purpose.

1. Connotation: The author uses language that implies a negative or positive feeling, emphasizing issues surrounding the portrayal of female superheroes in a way that evokes a strong response from the audience.

2. Description: The author provides details about the current state of female superheroes, including their outfits and narrative space, which helps to clearly illustrate the disparity compared to male superheroes.

These techniques help to emphasize the need for more developed female superhero characters and narratives.
