Description

Prompt
In “‘Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt’: Advertising and Violence,” Jean Kilbourne argues, “Many boys grow up feeling that they are unmanly if they are not always ‘ready for action,’ capable of and interested in sex with any woman who is available” (285; ch. 12).
In what ways do the actions of male characters in Death of a Salesman serve as examples of Kilbourne’s point?
Directions
Begin your paragraph by introducing the author, Jean Kilbourne, and the title of her book chapter, “’Two Ways a Woman Can Get Hurt’: Advertising and Violence.”
After introducing her for the first time, simply refer to the author as Kilbourne.
In MLA format, quote and analyze three passages in your paragraph.
From Kilbourne’s book chapter, quote and analyze one passage.
Also, quote and analyze two passages from Miller’s play.
Remember: when performing literary analysis, make no reference to the author of the play (Miller) because he is not a character in the play.
Also, when quoting a play, the only place wherein to put the playwright’s name is the parenthetical citation, e.g.,
(Miller 31; act 1).
Lastly, when you summarize/describe characters’ actions in your signal phrase, make sure to write these actions in the “literary present” (i.e., using simple present-tense verbs).
