“The Objectification of Women: Whose Fault is it?" Santi Derosa
1. The audience DeRosa has in mind would be the people who are using women in an objectified way such as college athletic departments. That use women as recruiters to have more male players willing to come to that school. You can tell by not only the claims that he makes regarding how women are used.
2. The purpose of DeRosa writing this would be to prove how women are treated in this day in age. Rather than being treated like an everyday citizen they are treated like objects and second class citizens. He achieves his point by using quotes and actual female’s opinions on the issue.
3. His tone establishes ethos by not speaking in a demanding way but rather trying to persuade by not only opinion but facts and opinions from others. The tone is appropriate because it gets the point across while not taking it as far as slandering people who do objectifies women. While still proving that it is wrong and should not be done.
4. He fairly represents the other side by not only using the same tactic that he used for his side which is using opinions while stating facts such as the ratios for male to female recruiters. He could have went into detail expressing the other side as in explaining why there are so many women as recruiters and just a small few or how they pick the women for that job.
5. By him writing as a student, husband, and a father it gives him different aspects to the issue such as him having a daughter and not wanting her to be objectified. A husband with a wife who he does not want to be objectified. As a student because he would want a female friend of his to be objectified. He did convince me of an issue that I did know existed but he put it into a deeper perspective. It will spur the names mentioned due to the fact everything dealing with the issue and how bad it has gotten has involved them.
6. The text appeals to

    Using tone in writing is really important because it convey a message that the author want to express to the reader. The tone Barbara Ehrenreich uses in the book “Nickel and Dimed” is changing rapidly because she wants her reader to really see the realistic of what she has to face.

    In certain societies in today’s modern world, it is seen as something acceptable to dehumanize women to merely an object. To diminish the existence of women just so that a man can be accepted is, in my eyes, something utterly absurd and should not even be an idea in any culture. Throughout The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao by Junot Díaz, the reader distinguishes that in the Dominican Republican communities, is it known that in order to be accepted by society, men have to be able to be “good with the girls”. Oscar Wao, one of the characters, does experience this. The readers can see that this act dehumanizes women in that society reducing their existence by being objectified, pressures the girls in that society to look/act a certain way,…

    B) In this particular essay I believe the author used Ethos, Pathos and logos extremely well because for ethos for example, we tend to believe people we respect and by giving us exact descriptions of situations with names and places me as a reader feels secure that he knows what he’s talking about. For Pathos the author makes us feel the anger that the characters are feeling, he makes us want to also grab that golf club and smash the other drivers windows. Overall the essay is direct, the reasoning behind it is perfect by showing us a situation and elaborating on it.…
