The assumed position that the audience will take would be the author's side. The author wants them to get pissed off at Chipotle for false advertising. A possible counter-side would be not caring. Maybe they are loyal Chipotle customers, and don't really care about what goes into the food, because it tastes good! In response to the opposing side, all the author could really say is "do you really want people lying to you about what goes into your body?"
The readers want to know how a customer found out that they were using GMOs, the verdict of the court case, if GMOs will harm them, and most importantly, "Can I get anything out of this?" If someone thinks that they also have a case against Chipotle, will they be rewarded?
The author is trying to relate to readers by taking their side. It is very, very clear that the author is mad at Chipotle, that's the whole reason why she is trying to make everyone else mad. If her article was in defense of Chipotle, she would have to prove why this is best for the people too.
The ways in which the author relates to the audience are through her opinion. For example, she has opinion even in her title, "Chipotle is Being Sued over Its Anti-GMO Advertising. Serves Them Right." Right there, she is taking the side of the consumer, which means that she is relating to them.
I read Stef's blog and Grace's blog. After reading my peer's blogs, and after discussion in class, I realized that the reason for this blog post was to write about me. When I write my paper, I will be addressing new Nutrition students, and demonstrating analyzing a rhetorical situation.
Your audience is very interesting because there are many people that go to or have gone to Chipotle. This means that there are many people who feel that they have a relation to this issue. It is also interesting how the author sides with the audience, making it seem like Chipotle versus the world.
ReplyDeleteMany people will be interested in your topic because a lot of people eat chipotle! I think you could have written more about who you will be writing for, and less about who the author chose to write. Overall, you did complete the task, but the bullet points in the book appeared to be more about you and your audience and less about the author.
ReplyDeleteI REALLY like your topic because I feel like it pretty much speaks to the majority of the United States population. There aren't many, if any, people that I have met that haven't heard of Chipotle. That being said I think it's important that you think about how you will connect with your audience rather than how the author of your article spoke to her audience, like we talked about in class. In this analyzation I really liked how you gave direct quotes to support the analysis about the audience.
