After Super Tuesday, Bracing for a President Trump
The New York Times
March 20, 2016
Nicholas D. Kristoff's article, "After Super Tuesday, Bracing for a President Trump", highlights Trump's lack of background in an elective office or military and how it shows when he delivers a speech or participates in a debate. Kristof backs up this claim by discussing the rhetoric Trump has used in past debates and creates a mock interview with a Trump supporter. Kristof's purpose is to point out how rhetoric and background can show through in a campaign. Given the conciseness and lack of background information in the article, Kristof is writing to a knowledgable audience that is aware of what has been occurring throughout the campaign.
How is this Trump article different from the other Trump articles? What is the effect of the mock interview on the reader?
ReplyDeleteDear Mr. Kristof,
ReplyDeleteBesides Trumps lack of background what else makes him unqualified to be president? Also, why did you take the approach of using a mock interview to show what Trump has in store for the country?
Go beyond precis. It's just your first paragraph. Use the second paragraph to discuss the strategies used in the article and anything else that seems unique or important to this article. These are 150 words min.
