Analysis of Tone
Kathleen Parker in the article "For thin-skinned students, we have nobody to blame but ourselves," claim was that people should tell students about how the real world is and they should prepare them for it instead of blind-siding them. The purpose of this article is to inform the audience why they are the reason why students are so sensitive today, because they have always been overprotected by the audience. The intended audience is society, parents, and teachers, because they have protected and excused them for everything they did. This is in result of the resignation of the university's president. This article is effective in using tone to convince society, parents, and teachers of why they are the reason students are so sensitive today. The author's tone was accusing, because she named different situations where the audience has crippled the students in such away that they are not prepared for the real world and what comes after high school. I agree with the author because people let certain people get away with stuff when there should be consequences, because in reality you have to take responsibility for your actions. |
