The Start up Slump
The Washington Post
January 10, 2016
In this post Robert Samuelson addresses how the number of startup companies is dropping and the survival rate of these companies is even lower. Samuelson takes an odd approach to his posts and uses the pronoun "we" when discussing things such as the economy or anything that could relate to the audience. By doing this it allows for Samuelson's audience to relate more to the topic and have a better understand of what it is Samuelson is attempting to discuss. Samuelson uses data and reasoning to back up his claims and always gives information that will support his ideas.
Hey Robert,
ReplyDeleteThis topic of start up businesses intrigues me because I was planning on starting a company myself when i get older but from the looks of your data that might not be such a good idea. I was wondering what you think these numbers will look like in let's say 10 years?
Cole, do you think that the relating and using pronouns helps you understand the reading easier because of the relatableness.
