Now look at page 76 of last night’s reading. Which one of those audiences and correlated aim of argument do you think Stein is deploying? You can only pick one. In your own words, explain why you think your choice is the best choice.
I think he did this so that he can provide different shades and open up different viewpoints for people who want to understand this in different way than what they percieve it to be. And also help them understand the complexity of it.
Is Stein portraying himself as an audience friendly writer “In the Defense of…”? If not, why do you think he’s doing that?
I dont think stein is being an audience friendly writer. He is atually being a very self portraying writer who wants his audience to agree with what he says rather than understand what the audience think it is. A audience friendly writer should do both or atleast have the capability of doing both.
That it is also some kind of business where some corporations and private companies make profit from the war when they supply the weapons and they are nowhere to be liquadated into the economy, which is bad. Not only that but also the army contracts were not fair at all.
If we take this as true, in your own words describe what you think Stein sees as the gap in this conversation.
difference between what he thinks and knows about the US and what people think and understand through his article or the general viewpoint. It there is a big gap as in a lot of difference.
In your opinion, how does this piece fill that gap?
Basically him writting this article might fill the gap for majority of the audience.
Go back to your answer for question three. Do you still feel you made the correct choice? If not, feel free to change it.
Yes i did
What’s the danger of an essay like this?
First of all stein has not done a good job in conveying the message properly. Whatever, he is claiming may be important but the way his article behaves towards his audience is makes it a little less important for them. That’s where the danger is.
