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?

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

Connotation: The author emphasizes the implications and associations of the superhero genre, especially regarding the treatment and representation of female superheroes, which carries a critique of how they are often marginalized or sexualized.
Allusion: The mention of well-known female superheroes (like Wonder Woman) and their characteristics serves to draw comparisons with their male counterparts, highlighting the need for more depth and storytelling dedicated to women in superhero narratives.

These techniques help enhance the argument for the need for more female superheroes with meaningful stories and representations.
