1. 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. I also feel it is also “people who wish to understand multiple views”. He helps his audience understand that the subject is more complex than they had imagined. He just wants people to think in depth about his views and get them thinking.
2. Portraying yourself is when you are showing you put doing it in a appropriate way. I feel Stein is not portraying himself as an audience friendly writer. He isn’t very appropriate. He should be trying to see what other people are thinking about it. Not a lot of people listen great to someone that is joking around about everything. You don’t see writers like him a lot. He put himself out their to get the attention he was looking for. He’s going to get people agreeing and disagreeing with him, and some even becoming confused. He see’s himself as knowing it all and if no one agrees with him it doesn’t bother him. A lot of people get attention when they are out their and different.
4. I think the “Gap” in the triangle is were Stein feels his readers don’t understand what is going on in today’s world. He thinks people don’t care to understand or don’t now how to start.
5. In my opinion this piece he wrote fills this gap by him trying to grab his readers attention and have questions and come along board with what he is thinking.
6. I still feel the same way about how I answered #2, he wants people to get on board with how he feels but overall he just wants people to give him that attention. He doesn’t care if he is disliked but the wording choices he uses.
7. The danger of an essay like this is possible getting people on your bad side at first. Some might agree with you but most might not and maybe eventually come around. Not a lot of people tend to understand this type of writing. If people don’t know what type of writer he is they might not have a good reaction to his work. I feel he wants people to get on his side about it all but he isn’t hurt by it if they aren’t.
