How to use portraying in a sentence?

1. Itsunori Onodera:

   We have seen history repeat where North Korea would declare to denuclearize, by portraying North Korea as a consolatory and forthcoming, only to turn around and avoid all international efforts towards peace, in light of how North Korea has behaved in the past, I believe it is important not to reward North Korea solely for agreeing to have a dialogue.

2. Mira Nairs:

3. Anne Hathaway:

   It’s an obvious thing, you win an Oscar and you’re supposed to be happy. I didn’t feel that way. I felt wrong that I was standing there in a gown that cost more than some people are going to see in their lifetime, and winning an award for portraying pain that still felt very much a part of our collective experience as human beings, i tried to pretend that I was happy and I got called out on it, big time. That’s the truth and that’s what happened.

4. Nina Daniele:

   The Femlin’s this spontaneous, spunky, smart, mischievous, tiny little woman who sticks The Femlin in between places, the Femlin’s the life of the party … The Femlin has all of these wonderful characteristics, but The Femlin’s also imperious to society’s beliefs and restrictions. They do n’t apply to The Femlin … Society’s restrictions do n’t apply to any of us at all. We need to show society that women as a whole, we are imperious to those restrictions. That’s what The Femlin stands for. Even though I ’m on the cover, it’s me, but I ’m The Femlin. I am portraying what The Femlin stands for … It’s a homage to The Femlin and how Hugh Hefner in 2017 viewed women in society.

5. Maria Repnikova:

   Stories that are critical of Russia or are portraying Russia in an unfavorable manner are generally censored, as a result of that, it is expedient to use Russian state media sources because they're the ones portraying the( Ukraine) conflict with a more favorable eye or view from the Russian perspective.
