2. If the text had
been written in a different time or place or language or for a different
audience, how and why might it differ?
This editorial by the New York Times editorial board showcasing
President Donald Trump’s unprofessionalism in office. The editorial criticizes
President Trumps choice in diction and “name-calling” to other preventatives in
office. NY times uses negative connotations and biases towards Trump and his
actions while in office of the USA. This raises interesting questions such as “What
if this editoral was written by a news outlet that was Pro-Trump?” or even “What
if this paper was written by a paper situated outside the USA?”. Many NY times
readers will generally agree with this editorial but other readers may be very
much against this rendition of the editioral.
1.
How and why is a social group represented in a
particular way?
This article by Gregory S. Schneider represents a group of
Native Americans, the Rappahannock Tribe, in
a positive light and how they almost “died from history” because the Europeans did
not interact with them. Schneider represents the Native Americans as part of American
history and needed for better understanding America but as well as other
cultures and people. This raises the question “Why are certain social groups
represented in particular ways compared to others?”.
