What kind of audience does the writer seem to be addressing?

Choose one of the seven readings available to you.
Write a critical response on the piece you’ve chosen.
You will include a title page and a references page. These pages are in addition to the 3.5 page total, so your whole paper will be 6 pages long.
Read the directions from Kirszner and Mandell (2017) on how to write a critical response. NOTE: the following quote from Practical Argument indicates what to include in your paper and how to structure it:
“[Introduction] Begin your critical response by identifying your source and its author; then, write a clear, concise summary of the writer’s position. [End the introduction with your thesis statement.]

[Body] Next, [in several body paragraphs] analyze the argument’s supporting points one by one, considering the strength of the evidence that is presented. Also consider whether the writer addresses all significant opposing arguments and whether those arguments are refuted convincingly. Quote, summarize, and paraphrase the writer’s key points as you go along, being careful to quote accurately and not to misrepresent the writer’s ideas or distort them by quoting out of context. (For information on summarizing, paraphrasing, quoting, and synthesizing sources, see Chapter 9 of Practical Argument.) As you write, identify arguments you find unconvincing, poorly supported, or irrelevant.

[Conclusion] At the end of your critical response, sum up your assessment of the argument in a strong concluding statement.” (p. 77-78)

Remember to include relevant paraphrases and quotes from the source text. Use APA style.
Do NOT plagiarize or engage in any other form of academic dishonesty. If you have questions, see me.
