Assignment # 13 :)

The essay that I analyzed was "Free speech off campus should be protected." I find this argument very convincing and it got me thinking about the different ways that the essay attracted myself and what i thought would attract the audience. The first thing i learned from the author was to use a lot of examples as i could. The reason why i thought it was a good idea to use a lot of examples was because it seemed like a good way to support your opinions and statements. For example, if i mention a statement and i back it up with evidence that makes my statement true then i feel like it would get the audience to think more about the point im trying to make. The second thing i learned from analyzing the essay was the tone he used while he was trying to convince people. For example, he writes with such a serious tone that makes his readers believe him and that he believes himself. When i write my essay im definitely going to use what he used because i think it will make my essay more effective and it will get my audience to believe me and have them think twice about my point.
