Greenfield Article - Brendan, Olga, Gibran

1) How would you describe the tone of Greenfield's essay? Are there specific words that stand out? What effect do you think this tone might have on readers who don't readily agree with Greenfield's positions?


We felt that the tone of the essay was informative. Greenfield uses strong, academic language throughout the essay. She says words like crisis, tragic, and vital that will make an impact on the reader. She also presents strong, interesting facts from resources. By using strong facts from sources like Harvard, she builds credibility for herself that may help her make gains in convincing people who don't agree with her view. Greenfield presents lots of good information and questions throughout the article in a calm, informative tone that ultimately may convince people who don't agree with her.
