They Say I Say Ex. 1

1.) Charlip refers to the views of others right off the bat when he writes, "Marx and Engels wrote: "society as a whole is more....", she then says "If only that were true, things..." distinguishing her opinion from those before her. She also uses phrases such as "his definition" or "the average American will tell you...."

Chapter 4, ex. 1

1.) While it is not very clear in the article, I think the author agrees somewhat with the other authors, however, she wants to see more data before she can make a clear cut decision. I've come to this conclusion because she cites the other authors' and seems to think they have logical points but she also says, "There has been little or no attempt to investigate these ideas empirically in elementary or secondary schools and classrooms in this country." If you could not tell by what I previously wrote, the article left me somewhat confused.

Exercise 7j

1.) In terms of layout and design, the paper most resembles a magazine article. This is due mainly to the text style of the title and the various pictures throughout the paper. Also the columns of writing give it a magazine-like feel.

2.) The layout of the paper influenced the way I personally read it a lot. The columns and pictures made it more ascetically appealing and made it an easier read. Also the pictures got me to think about the era more in depth as opposed to just seeing text. It also gave the paper more of a feel of authority, mainly due to it looking more professional.

3.) If the paper was reformatted to resemble a college research paper, it would lose a lot of it's appeal. I wouldn't be as nearly as interested in the paper if it lacked images and if the columns were taken away it would be much harder for me to stay focused.
