1. Short-response prompt (15 points)
Read the following passage from Jonathan Swift's 1732 poem "The Lady's Dressing Room":
Five hours, (and who can do it less in?)
By haughty Celia spent in dressing:
The goddess from her chamber issues,
Arrayed in lace, brocades and tissues.
Strephon, who found the room was void,
And Betty otherwise employed,
Stole in, and took a strict survey.
Of all the litter as it lay:
... The basin takes whatever comes
The scrapings of her teeth and gums,
A nasty compound of all hues,
For here she spits, and here she spews.
But oh! it turned poor Strephon's bowels,
When he beheld and smelled the towels,
Begummed, bemattered, and beslimed
With dirt, and sweat, and earwax grimed.
No object Strephon's eye escapes,
Here petticoats in frowzy heaps;
Nor be the handkerchiefs forgot
All varnished o'er with snuff and snot.
Describe Swift's point of view of women in the passage. Then explain how he uses sarcasm, satire, or
irony to convey that point of view. Support your ideas with specific details from the passage.

"the red death had long been feeding on the country.

no sickness had ever been so deadly — so great a killer — or so fearful to see. blood was its mark — the redness and the horror of blood.

there were sharp pains, and a sudden feeling that the mind was rushing in circles inside the head. then there was bleeding through the skin, though it was not cut or broken — and then, death!

the bright red spots upon the body and especially upon the face of the sick man made other men turn away from him, afraid to try to . and the sickness lasted, from beginning to the end, no more than half an hour.

but prospero, the ruler of that land, was happy and strong and wise. when half the people of his land had died, he called to him a thousand healthy, happy friends, and with them went far away to live in one of his palaces"
