- Who are the intended readers, and how does the writer address them?
The intended readers would be people who want something new out of reading a story. Someone who is ok with sarcasm. Also, this is meant for people that go to this stuff a lot and read the news. Some of them are looking for trouble and something to argue about. Stein as a writer addresses them by trying to grab there attention and get people talking.
- What values do the readers and writer seem to have in common? How does the writer appeal to them?
There values are to get a point out of the story at the end of it. They are showing their shared values. To get his point across he has to make an argument and show his thoughts and preaching to everyone about his creation of story.
Numbers 1 and 3:
Yes, Stein uses much from the reading. From “The Brief – Thompson” they say “writing arguments is when you create expectations among readers that an argument – whether a report of research findings will proceed in a certain way” (72-87). This one makes me think of him a lot because I feel he try’s to start these arguments to get people talking about his work. I feel Stein developed an argument that he takes his subject matter into account in great detail. He makes sure his readers are knowing about the difference between fact and opinion. He gathers evidence for his arguments too. I feel that “people who share your view” can relate to him. He reinforces belief and moves people toward commitment and action!
