I am using Firefly to show how when you gets to see the other side of a story your option on the subject at hand may change. I am emphasizing that the media makes to many decisions for the American public. I think that it is pretty to easy to sound insane when speaking about how you are suspect of the media. So I would have to say that my main issue right now is that I am struggling with the balance of sounding passionate and sounding like a raving maniac. At one point in the paper I say, "there are many issues in today’s world where the lines between “good” and “bad” are not as clear and the media decides for the population." I need to get this point across in a non insulting manor, considering that the audience of this paper is the same people that I am claiming have their minds made up by the media.
To add to the matter I am using conflict in the Middle-East as my example of how seeing the other side is important. I am a little worried that peoples' initial reactions and opinions will get in the way of actually hearing my message. I need to form an argument in a way that is not too subtle that my point does not get across, but not so strong that it turns people away.
Seeing your emotion pour through in your paper is not a bad thing. I think it will make your reader's pay closer attention to your point
ReplyDeleteI think you should aviod the Middle East because it puts the reader in a very receptive mood or a non-receptive mood. It will make it more difficult to get your point across.
ReplyDeleteSounds like you've got the right idea for Common Place but I think if you re-word it to kind of beat around the bush and not explictly say it would be fine.
ReplyDeleteI think it's okay that your maybe a little critical of the media in your paper. Analyzing anythingcan be insulting; it just depends on who the reader is. Don't hold down your opinion too much, but I think you have the right idea of making sure that it's not too offensive.
ReplyDeleteAdding the part about Middle East seems like it would be confusing for the reader. I feel like the issue is wondering whether that idea will fit in and make sense. You will have to really tie everything together.
