Chapter 7 They Say I Say

Chapter seven starts out asking a very good and obvious question. To be perfectly honest I have never sat down and asked myself this question before writing but after reading this chapter I will most likely be asking myself this from now on. The question is, “Who Cares?” Even if someone writes a perfectly clear, well focused thesis if the writer does not sufficiently address and answer crucial questions throughout the text the reader might be left with unanswered questions and not sure what they even got out of the text. When you are writing and trying to argue a position it is best to reflect on the central point of your argument so it is clear and easy to follow. That way it gives the reader a reason for reading it. I also learned while reading this chapter that sometimes it helps to mention specific people’s names or groups to help support your argument and authority as a writer. I think this chapter brings up many valid and somewhat obvious suggestions that I believe most writers do not address but if they did it would sometimes makes their text a lot more relatable to their audience.
