Blog Prompt #5

1.
A. The author's argument is the disappearance of the French language is one of the most tragic events in Louisiana history.

B. The author wants to establish the importance of the French Cajun language to its' Acadian culture.

C. I feel that her intended audience are people that would posses a Cajun background. These are people that would probably take a greater interest in this paper for the simple fact that it is directed towards their culture.

2.
A. I find she presents her argument by being formal, using multiple resources, and using a more serious tone but at the same time persuasive in her claim. She uses a student's recent experiment, different people's preferences, and actual organizations as some sources, which with such a variety I feel that she definitely had quantity as well as quality sources. She expresses her sincerity for her argument without sounding very pathetic, so her audience should feel her emotions but not emotionally pushed. From reading her work cite and seeing that she had a vary of resources meaning she has definitely done her homework. Her sources were actual organizations, credited websites, and books meaning she has built enough credibility.I felt that her paragraphs were in logical order. They were very organized allowing her evidence to flow smoothly into the conclusion.

3. Honestly, a Cajun i was deeply interested in her argument. I have French speaking relatives, but never was  a French speaking individual. I never gave much thought about it or really cared at that. Reading her essay made me think how great would it be to hold a conversation with my family in the language of my ancestors.  I feel that she uses great persuasive strategies by using legitimate resources to defend her claims. Overall, I'm  not sure what areas are stronger than others solely on the fact this essay was written with extremely high effort and was a published paper. 
  
4. As I said before, I feel that she has accomplished her purpose with credited resources. The author's paragraphs are well constructed. I feel that her tone was proper for her specific paper. Overall, the evidence was strong enough for the author to make her defense for her argument very formidable.
