    CLAPS analysis 

    Use this template to help you analyse and deconstruct a work of non-fiction. 

     
     
      Questions to ask   Analysis 

    Context  What is the context of the  Haven (​Q̸̷̛͜'̷̡̢t̡͜҉h͜͞o̴o̸̵̡͞m̷̵͢e҉̴́͜r̕͡) 


    text? When and where was   
    it published? What cultural  Women in historical times were confined to 
    references are present in  specific roles within the household, mostly to do 
    the text? What social  with housework and “maternal work”. In this text, 
    values and beliefs are  Fleming comments on these gender roles that 
    present in the text?  have been assigned to women, stating that even 
    if these gender responsibilities had been 
    removed from these housewives, they will still 
    have no identity. She uses this archaic 
    comparison to today’s society, placing social 
    media slang such as “help me” in the 
    embroidery to draw parallels between the 
    historical society and modern. This allows the 
    audience to see that little has changed in the 
    decades and centuries of history for housewives 
    and mothers. 

    Layout  How is the text organized?  Jeffrey 


    How does it start and how   
    does it end? Does the text  There are text consists of two images of what 
    use a particular structural  looks to be quilts. The text starts with a simple 
    feature, such as the  line talking about women and embroidery. The 
    inverted pyramid? Does  designs of the two quilts “help me” and “so so 
    the text include  bored” could symbolise the desire to break free 
    sub-headings, photos,  from the societally created artificial personality 
    CLAPS analysis 

    bullet points, or other  created among women. The subheadings that 


    formatting features?  the text uses a two-part subheading for the texts 
    as there are two main visual elements in the text. 

    Audience  Who is the text aimed at?  The cartoon is directed to women who support 
    Make reference to age,  feminism and female empowerment. Fleming 
    education level, nationality,  expresses how females are restricted to the 
    and gender. How do you  stereotypical duty of doing chores in the 
    know that this is the target  household. When this duty is taken away, by 
    audience? Who published  “domestic servants” as stated in the cartoon, 
    the text and who is their  they are left with no other purpose as they are 
    target demographic?  oppressed by societal stereotypes that prevent 
    them from having other personal endeavours. A 
    21st-century audience would find such a subject 
    familiar, as equality between races and genders 
    has been increasingly advocated for in modern 
    society. This cartoon would be specifically 
    targeted towards middle-aged women who 
    resonate with the same problems (it is 
    suggested in the cartoon that Fleming is talking 
    about housewives). 

    Purpose  What is the purpose of the  It is to inform the audience that perhaps female 
    text? Is it to persuade,  stereotypes and bias that existed back in the day 
    inform, educate, describe,  still exists now. Even though these women were 
    entertain, argue, or  in a privileged position, they were still oppressed 
    explain?  and as women, they weren’t expected to 
    achieve as much as men. This text wouldn’t 
    apply to “men domestic servants”, because 
    unlike women, they were expected to go 
    outside, work and be cool. This text informs the 
    audience that this mentality and expectation of 
    women still exists, and I’m sure some women 
    today can still relate to this sentiment, as it 
    “speaks to us across the centuries”. 

    Style  What stylistic features does  Lines: 


    the text use? How do these  they are squiggly and looks hand-drawn. This 
    techniques help to  shows the lack of care and tediousness that girl 
    establish the meaning of  servants are going through in embroidering 
    the piece? In what way do  these embroideries. These exemplify the theme 
    the techniques connect to  of gender stereotypes in the patriarchal system - 
    the themes or topics  that women do elegant housework; whereas 
    explored in the text?  with the style of the lines shows that’s not true as 
    women are sick of these stereotypes and rather 
    not make embroidery under the influence of 
    these stereotypes. 
     
    Colour: 
    The colours are in black and white. The 
    gloominess of the colours portray a sense of 
    CLAPS analysis 

    boredom and a lack of creativity. This shows 


    how the women are illustrating that they are not 
    subject to these female stereotypes - not all 
    women can embroid or has the passion to 
    embroid. Which goes to show that just because 
    they are women doesn’t mean they can embroid 
    or want to embroid. 
     
    Shapes: 
    the shapes and drawn illustrations of the cute 
    animals and nature shows the stereotypical 
    images that female would draw themes of 
    cuteness, peacefulness and elegance. 
    Therefore, by juxtapositioning with the words 
    like ‘so so bored’ shows the irony in which they 
    are drawing these embroidered cute creatures 
    are actually not in their liking to draw at all. 
    These are made by gender stereotypes by men 
    that women must behave in such a way and 
    think in such a way to express their femininity 
    under the influence of the patriarchal system.
