Because it is an all men's tournament, they give out jackets as the prize to winners, which is a very big deal to win. This image shows that they give this honor onlyt to men and to women, they give the, an apron, as one would wear while cooking, because this is where they feel their place is.]]> 2017-12-07 15:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_silbar/cr2mv62jaclv/wish/214156361 emma_silbar https://padlet.com/emma_silbar/cr2mv62jaclv/wish/214156362 In the satirical piece, The Masters' Jacket, the author ridicules and criticizes the fact that only men get this special award and women are booted to do the behind the scenes work.]]> 2017-12-07 15:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_silbar/cr2mv62jaclv/wish/214156362 emma_silbar https://padlet.com/emma_silbar/cr2mv62jaclv/wish/214156363 2017-12-07 15:21:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emma_silbar/cr2mv62jaclv/wish/214156363 emma_silbar https://padlet.com/emma_silbar/cr2mv62jaclv/wish/214156364 Furthermore, the author also uses exaggeration to create humor. For instance, when giving the apron to the women, the author is overstating the fact that women are put the the back burner in this sport/tournament, in order to make the point that sexism is evident in this work field.
