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

1. point of view - The author presents a perspective that emphasizes the need for more female superheroes, showcasing the disparity between male and female characters.
2. allusion - The author makes references to well-known aspects of male superheroes' stories (like "kryptonite" and "spider bites") to highlight the lack of similar depth in female characters' narratives.

These techniques effectively support the author's argument for creating more developed female superheroes.
