Who do you think is johnson’s intented audience in the excerpt that you read?

Answers will vary, but you might say that Johnson’s intended audience was his fellow countrymen. Johnson writes, "In hope of giving longevity to that which its own nature forbids to be immortal, I have devoted this book, the labour of years, to the honour of my country."

You might instead argue that Johnson’s intended audience was his fellow lexicographers. Throughout the text, he responds to the efforts of authors and academics who are also trying to standardize the language, particularly Johnathan Swift.

Explanation:

femininity is conveyed through bernice's personality. she doesn't act how the other girls act and everyone thinks she is weird. she learns how to act in a way that was considered femininely appropriate at the time. she becomes so popular but her attempts to be liked end up backfiring when she is pressured into bobbing her hair. the author wrote that bernice cut off her cousin's hair in revenge for tricking her to cut her hair. this was the authors way of trying to change the way feminine is defined and the way women are expected to act.

ah, shun the horrid gulf! by scylla fly.
