Literary Analysis (First Draft)

The Opposition w/ Jordan Klepper “War on Men: Resisting the Evil Estrogenda”

Significant Moments:
  • "But suddenly, frothing feminists are forcing men to make the same amount of money as women."
  • "Equality is just a dirty word for making me less special."
  • Tech Fempire: "Women now hold a whopping 11 percent of executive positions...there any room for men anymore?"
  • Google & James Damore: 
    • "Google discriminates against white men."
    • "Biology not bigotry accounted for gender inequity"
    • Toxic Environment for Masculinity --> Toxic Masculinity
    • "Just because he implied that 31 percent of Google's employees were less fit for their jobs he was fired?"
      • David vs Lady Goliath situation
        • references The Bible
        • men are underdogs, women are the bigger, stronger adversaries
  • "Women get to take twice as many antidepressants as men...the women are just hogging all the good stuff."
    • create pill that reduces women's fertility
  • "global warming": global warming is like unconditional love between a father and son -- a hoax.
    • radical leftist sea turtles are coordinating with land feminists to experiment with gene control to curb the male population in humans
  • "...so men, sit on the train, spread your legs nice and wide..."
    • reference to manspreading 
      • often seen as misogynistic patriarchy (undermines a woman's right to space)
Outline:
  • The WHAT (focus/topic): Fourth-wave feminism
  • The WHY (message): 
  • The HOW (tools + how they develop the why): 
    • sarcasm: women forcing men to make same amount of money; women holding 11% of exec positions, not enough room for men
    • allusion/reference: The Bible, manspreading
    • irony: we men have never been more under attacked

In his segment, "War on Men: Resisting the Evil Estrogenda",  Jordan Klepper suggests that men should educate themselves about feminism and look towards statistics for truth, rather than make assumptions based on their feelings. Klepper uses satiric techniques such as allusion, sarcasm, and irony in order to get this message across.

Water Bill

The chart above shows my family's monthly water consumption. In August it was 72.8 cubic meters, in september it was 60.5 cubic meters, in October it was 64.9 cubic meters, in November it was 63.7 cubic meters, in December it was 25.8, and for January it was 47.7. The average is 55.9 cubic meters per month. The target was the average reduced to 20% less of our water consumption and the amount we would want to use instead of using an a lot more wasteful amount. Our target was 44.72 cubic meters per month.

News Package Element/ Time Reference Script Introduction The Holocaust is one of the most famous genocides known by many around the world. There has always been speculation whether the movie, Schindler’s List, and its goriness was ever appropriate for students, especially for those who couldn’t handle the gruesome content in the movie.

And being the same person afterwards that they were before.” Bridge When asked on how the movie could change people’s perspectives on the world and prejudice, Matthew Elms, an eighth grade social studies teacher at SAS, had a s...

Target

Airplanes flying low, smoke and fire everywhere, and destruction of the twins falling down. That was nine-eleven. It was the tragedy that shook the entire world and the time where many lives were lost trying to save the innocent.Tears fled from people’s eyes like a stream and hearts were slowly tearing apart as loved ones were getting torn apart from them. Grief and condolences were sent to the US and its people. And during that very sad time, Muslims were discriminated because about one percent of their population were the ones who attacked. Persecuted for doing something they didn’t do, something they didn’t have control of. Even being called horrible names like “terrorist”.  Going to an American school and being the only Muslim in my grade, I felt like a social casualty. A lost puppy in a thunderstorm. We used to talk about this event in class every year and my teacher would talk about the culprits that were the Muslim terrorists. And I would see the few peers who woul...
