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 point of view and allusion to advance their purpose.

1. Point of view: The author presents a clear perspective on the need for more female superheroes, emphasizing the inequalities in representation and narrative focus between male and female characters.

2. Allusion: The author references well-known female superheroes and tropes (like kryptonite and spider bites) to establish a common understanding of the issue and to highlight the need for deeper narratives surrounding female characters.

These techniques help build a compelling argument for more diverse and equal representation in superhero narratives.
