Assignment 1/ Dialogue

1. Parker’s use of vocabulary, creates and inclusive tone throughout the entirety of the essay. The use of words such as ‘us’ and ‘our’ creates an authoritative tone as she is the writer of the piece. she distinguishes the direction of the essay, the conclusions of her observations.

2. the questions asked really directs the reader in what to think. When observing the pictures of children that parker has painted in your mind you cannot help but think ‘yes, i have observed that good child.’ You have seen that “Good Soul.” Even though Parker is asking questions, she uses her command of thought to help the reader to draw the same conclusions as she. She is authoritative in this sense.

 

1. The power shifts multiple times throughout this essay. In the beginning it seems as though the man has all of the power. He is yelling and frustrated by the woman’s answers, but then because she is frustrating him so it may be that she has the power in this dynamic. Next, the man starts to lose the power as the woman gets frustrated with him throughout the essay. He starts apologizing and giving weak answers to the woman’s interrogation.

2. The dialogue can be used in many ways to show the emotions of the characters. Firstly, the cussing in the opening really adds to the feel of the essay. it is obvious from the start that this is a high-strung conversation with complex emotion. The yelling and frustration throughout the essay can show that the dialogue is between two people who know each other well and are not afraid to be unbridled in their vulnerability.

3. The dialogue shows the relationship of the two quite clearly. It is obvious from the start the they have some kind of prior affiliation that the reader is unaware of. Overall, the dialogue builds the relationship quite strongly. We learn of Florence Leaming, and how she adds to the dynamic of the relationship. However, romance is built on the end of the man when the jealousy is expressed. Overall, this in its entirety adds to the relationship between the 2.
