Roughing It by Mark Twain age 37, 1872

In the story Roughing It , it talks about Mr. Young who is a man with many wives. He gave one of his wives(#6) a breast pin, which then made the rest of the wives want one too. So there began the problem for him when each wive comes in and asks for one as he is having a conversation with Mr. Johnson. It also talking about the Goshute Indians and how inferior they are to everything. Finally he writes about the CHinese on how harmless they are on the Pacific coast.

The satire I've noticed was when he says he will buy his wives(all) the breast pins just go get them away.

The Hour questions

Questions for The Hours

1. Describe the three female characters in great detail? What do they have in common?

How do they differ? How does their era influence who they are?

Virginia Woolf- author of book. Jealous of sister for having children.

Lora- Suicidal, wants to kill herself but her son’s love prevents her from doing so.

Miss Delaware- Spends time with Richard(boyfriend, husband) who has Aids. Richard suicides by jumping off window because he thinks he burdens her.

They are all interested in reading to escape the reality of their lives.

2. Compare/Contrast these female characters with the female characters from the

literature weʼve read.

Through out what we read so far women mostly rely on men through the books.

In the Hour the women do not rely on any men but more on literature to get them through everything.

Letter to Norman Mailer

words:

fey-fated to die.

maquille- ?

Norman Mailer's view of women writer is that women can't write good novels or anything of the sort. You think that their writing is unworthy of being read by people. You say that they write with a twisted tongue, but yet how do you write... you write with a bitter one with resent to good writing because you fear it. The fact that you say that the work's of women should not be read is only showing that you do not want people to be amazed at what good literature they produce. The roles of women change and now it is time for you to accept the reality.
