Chisholm´s use of repetition draws attention to the heart of the matter she wants to point out ; discrimination for women.Discrimination is a word she repeats as she wants to show that women were considered inferior for certains posts, so inferior that the fact that they are able to become representatives in Congress needs a celebration or a great display.She is ironic in the sense that she knows women understand what she is talking about , but still uses repetition to be emphatic and to show frustration at so many years of not being recognized" calculated system of prejudice..."..I am not stranger to prejudice.."She is persuasive because by mentioning women and their inferiority  suffered for so long , which was created for them from a men´s world, she is expressing change is at hand.

taking into account that a theme is the central topic a text treats and can be developed through a story, play, poem etc. the following are themes that can be further developed:  

my best friend jeffrey has many unusual interests. (the story could be about each of the unususal interests)

once a man gives his soul over to evil, he can never go back. (this could be a saying or a proverb)

the three sheepdogs lay around the yard all day. (it could be developed detailing how each of these sheepdogs lay around)

a priest's collar has an unusual effect upon people. (it could be developed detailing the different effect upon people)

innocence is a powerful force in a world full of corruption. (it could be developed detailing how is a world full of corruption)

king lear is a play shakespeare wrote later. (it is just a sentence and doesnt give any idea or topic to be discussed in details.

evil often wears the disguise of innocence. (this could be a saying or a proverb)

the significance of the title, "the passing", is related to the fact that the main characters, who are three african-american descendant women, are passing as white. this means that, because of their light-coloured skins they look like white women. one of the three friends, clare, is married to a white man and she lives in a white community and she has never told her husband that she is black. the title can easily be connected to the idea of pretending to be someone you are not and of losing your real identity in order to be accepted by society.
