Use the passage to answer the 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.

The two techniques the author most uses to advance their purpose are:

  • point of view: The author presents a perspective that emphasizes the need for more representation and narrative focus on female superheroes.
  • connotation: The author uses language that implies a lack of respect or attention given to female superheroes compared to male ones, which highlights the disparities in their representation.

These techniques help to convey the author's argument about the necessity for more developed female superhero narratives.
