I think that the author does a very good job by going through and explaining the types of men he knows in his life. This helps to get a better understanding of how he views men in the world. It also helps to get a better aspect from the other sides views. It allows the reader to feel for these hard working men. Also it helps you to see the benefits of education and how it saves your body from the intense hours and hard labor. I disagree that men or women work harder. Both sexes play important roles in our society today, maybe back in the day men had harder physical lives, but women had more to deal with mentally.
I see myself aligning with this arguement in that i see the relation in my grandparents. My grandpa was always doing hard labor ever since his early teen years where as my grandma went to college and ended up gettting a job high up the rankings for the state. You can see the effects now in my grandpas breathing and personal health where as my grandma never gets sick. Nowadays though my dad reversed the role and became a teacher and is a very healthy individual.
I think this arguement kinda relates back to the education arguement, it changes the outcome of your future, even as far as your health.
I think that by starting in a debate it helps the author get his views in. Sanders does a good job at going through the main occupations for men from his childhood, this also broadens the readers mind on his past, which conveys his arguement even more.

I think you kind of went off topic when talking about education in your piece. While the arguments were good they werent very relevant in my opinion. Other than that i thought this was well said.
ReplyDeletei like how you used the example about your grandpa to relate to the essay. i think you follow the essay well and dont just summarize it, and you are able to explain your points well. i think you did go a bit off topic sometimes though, when using your examples. although it does show your relation to the piece. other then that nice job.
ReplyDeleteI think that the authoer was a little bit more in depth with his arguments then you related and mentioned in your response. Although I think relating topics with your own stories is good it helps bring in real life relatable ideas. Some parts were slightly off topic but I understood why you said most of the things you did. Nice work :)
