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.

Answer 1

The author uses the following techniques to advance their purpose:

1. Allusion - The author makes references to well-known superheroes (e.g., "kryptonite" and "spider bites") to emphasize the need for female superheroes to have equally recognized and developed backstories.

2. Point of view - The text is written from the author's perspective, advocating for the inclusion and development of female superheroes, highlighting the inequalities in narrative space between genders.

These techniques help convey the author's message about the need for more female superheroes with their own narratives.
