Summary

i wrote about my opinion towards the importance of an analysis journal....

Description

The article I have read for this assignment is titled “Some Lessons from The Assembly Line”. This article was written by Author, Andrew Braaksma. I believe the context of this article is to Discuss the comparison between “leisure college life” and to a difficult summer factory job. I feel the Authors purpose is to inform his audience about his values of college education. Also, to express his feeling towards how different college life is compared to a summer factory job. The authors style when writing this article, I believe is conversational style. I say conversational style because the author writes this article in first person point of view, and writes in multiple tones, but mainly a casual tone. I say this author wrote this article in many tones like appreciative, compassionate, and Direct because he is explaining how appreciative he is towards education. Compassionate towards people who are not given the opportunity towards an education, and direct towards his experiences as a factory worker. From this early analysis I learned that the value of education is very important to the Author because he starts the article out with a very direct statement “Sweating away my summers as a factory worker makes me more than happy to hit the books”. An analysis of the authors writing will help someone learn more about the article by painting a picture in the readers head. Also, by allowing the reader to try and visualize what it’s like in a factory job setting. Analysis will also help the reader understand the authors purpose in more depth while reading. I think when readers analyze and article it gives the readers more things to relate to in an article. In this article industrial workers can relate to factory jobs and college students can relate to the importance of education. After reading this article I do believe the authors writing is effective when wanting to achieve his purpose. I concluded this decision because I feel the author was trying to express his feelings and inform his audience. The author to me, did a great job by expressing his feeling by

giving details about how he feels towards college saying he values his education. The author also expressed his feelings about his factory by explaining how difficult it was working a sweaty, twelve-hour shift. The author said, “the things that factory work has taught me- how lucky I am to get and education”. That statement alone shows his values towards education and a small portion of how he feels about factory jobs....
