Journal Assignment #3
“No Wonder They Call Me a Bitch” – Ann Hodgman
(The Norton Sampler p.77)
Read the selection and write a one paragraph response to the following questions.
- Cite three specific examples of Hodgman’s descriptive imagery that you find to be particularly effective.
‘The dull tang of soybean flour ‘’
‘’..but each can of the cycle was packed with smooth, round, oily nuggets”
“like meatloaf with ground up chicken bones’’
2. What do you think Hodgman’s purpose was in writing this essay? What overall message/meaning do you take from the essay?
I think the purpose is that even though the dog food was disgusting, she still ate all of the dog food and was not afraid to tell anyone about it. I think that this is saying that even if something is difficult, we shouldn’t give up in it. If we really are interested in something and want to know a clear answer, there is no way to find a conclusion except experiencing the task personally.
