Margaret Atwood Contradicts Humans To Bats

There is a debate between scientists whether vampire bats should be killed or not. Firstly, ranchers, believe that vampire bats should be killed. For example, Chris Kraul a writer for the Los Angeles Times, shares that bats are feasting and killing off the cattle. Thus, this point proves that bats should be killed(Kraul). Secondly, Researchers believe that bats should be saved. For instance, Kraul reports that the theory for all of the attacks on the livestock are cause by timber cutting so the bats are losing food rich forests so they head toward the cattle for food. Therefore, this confirms that it is our fault for the bats attacking the livestock. Thirdly, I believe that bats should not be killed. To illustrate, Kraul tells bat based research

“The Female Body” Response Essay In recent years, feminism has become a buzzword in debate and politics. In response to a letter from Michigan Quarterly Review— which describes The Female Body as a, “capacious topic”— Margaret Atwood calls upon satire through vignettes to formulate a reply. In The Female Body, Atwood utilizes extrinsic and intrinsic commentary to shape a response that focuses on the exploitation of women. The sexualization of the female body is a section in the feminist movement that is highly discussed.

Now since the author Brandon Middleton that wrote “ The Indiana Bat Decision: a Dangerous Precedent for Alternative Energy?” have been one example how the people are uncertain that the court have pickt the best solution state's, “threat to the overall species. The injunction was completely unnecessary given that only 3% of the Indiana bat population is located in West Virginia, meaning that wind turbines in Greenbrier County could only affect a miniscule portion of the Indiana bats.” Now since the court had not known this about the population of bats in West virginia some people are outrage because renewable sources have been denied for 3% of bats that can possibility to kill bats from the turbines of the

In “Gathering” by Margaret Atwood, the authors use imagery to describe the aging process of the people around her. She use many forms of imagery throughout her story, however there are some instances where her use of imagery really helps to portray her idea of what the aging process visually looks to her; this use of imagery is clearly seen when the author compares aging to” raw wood in a salt wind” (line 5). The authors uses the comparison of aging and the wood to create a image in the readers mind that is very recognizable, because most of her readers have either seen or know that when wood is left close to water especially salt water it becomes very soft and eventually disintegrates. The use of the wood near a salt wind this helps to give

White-Nosed Syndrome and the Hopeful Cure One the most underestimated animals in the United States is the bat. It is either the side-kick or essence of doom or evil in most Halloween stories. This nocturnal animal is a highly necessary part of society and their need in our ecosystem. Just like most animals, the loss of a species is due to death, disease, or human exposure, creates a trickledown effect on all other aspects of life. Due to their necessity, the White-Nosed Syndrome plaguing bats today must be rectified to preserve the ecosystem of caves and the balance of insects in the world today.

1. On page 26, Margaret Atwood first mentions the names of other Handmaids. This is from the quote: “Offwayne. No. Ofwarren.”

Throughout her many years as a poet, Margaret Atwood has dealt with a variety of subjects within the spectrum of relationship dynamics and the way men and women behave in romantic association. In much of her poetry, Atwood has addressed the topics of female subjugation in correlation with male domination, individual dynamics, and even female domination over males within the invisible boundaries of romantic relationships. With every poem written, Atwood's method for conveying the message of the poem has remained cryptic. She uses a variety of poetic devices - sometimes layered quite thickly - to communicate those themes dealing with human emotion. In the poem, Siren Song, Margaret Atwood

Nagel explores how it is by all means possible to imagine that there are things humans may never

The 'mind-body' problem has troubled philosophers for centuries. This is because no human being has been able to sufficiently explain how the mind actually works and how this mind relates to the body - most importantly to the brain. If this were not true then there would not be such heated debates on the subject. No one objects to the notion that the Earth revolves around the sun because it is empirical fact. However, there is no current explanation on the mind that can be accepted as fact. In 'What is it like to be a bat?', Thomas Nagel does not attempt to solve this 'problem'. Instead, he attempts to reject the reductionist views with his argument on subjectivity. He

In this essay, I will be while answering the questions from prompt one, “How and why does the protagonist's attitude toward her own situation change over the course of the story? How and why does she paradoxically become more alive and powerful after she “dies”?”, to complete Journal Assignment One. I will be discussing the short story by Margaret Atwood, titled “Lusus Naturae”.

It was fine for them (pg 185)”. This evidence justifies Shade’s lowered self-esteem. As Shade places himself around the bottom in hierarchy, he holds low self-esteem and ferocious thoughts circle around is head. As, there is a higher rank for the banded bats, i.e they are the “worthy” ones, they will be allowed to walk in the light of day, and the unbanded bats will live their lives, broken, and miserable and will

Margaret Atwood’s “The Female Body” is a satirical piece written in seven parts as a response to a letter from the Michigan Quarterly Review. The article is intended for the general public and is written in a humourous, smirking tone. The satirical bent is evident from the beginning, with Atwood describing impersonally her own body, or “topic”, conveying a sense discomfort and laying groundwork for her main argument, that female bodies have historically been viewed as objects. In the second section she catalogs accessories that come included with a female body such as items of clothing, body parts, makeup and piercings. The author’s argument is that women are not considered to be women unless they are decorated and she mocks the notion that their bodies come fully loaded with features and add-ons not unlike a vehicle.

In “The Page” and “Bread” and how does Margaret Atwood use everyday objects to make readers question their own innocence and experience? What is the significance of this?

There are many companies in the world today that put an idea of this perfect female body into the heads of women. These images lead to a faulty standard men hold of women and their bodies and that women strive to become. Margaret Atwood addresses the issue of the way men view the female body by writing her essay in the viewpoints of a male so the reader can better understand how the expectation men have of the female body is unrealistic. First, she uses an allusive comparison to show the male expectation of the female body and how it is objectified as if it were a doll that comes with accessories. Next, she uses an anecdote with defamiliarization to show how the way the father views a Barbie doll and the way it portrays the female body to young girls is hypocritical. Lastly, Margaret Atwood uses insidious diction to talk about how men not only view the female body as a product but how they also use the female body as a product which can be sold amongst businessmen. In The Female Body, Margaret Atwood uses many rhetorical devices to convey how the female body is viewed through the eyes of men.
