Opinion
My response to Nathan Rott’s article is well that it is interesting. The author presented the article in a way that while it is very informational it has a informal way about it with the various quotes that helped grabbed my attention more than it would if there was few or no quotes at all. I was quite actually captivated by the article which is something I am usually not unless it retains to a few subjects that I enjoy. therefore I believe did a very good job on how he presented the subject and the various quotes from Eric Sheptock who was the main focus of the article.
Mini-Analysis
I feel as if the author had mostly presented the article in a logos matter. Throughout the article the author had presented a lot of facts or reasoning. For example Eric Sheptock had opportunities to not be homeless the article stated that “He wouldn’t move out of the downtown D.C. shelter where he slept for the past two years if it would make him a less effective voice for change.” (Rott 89). This quote leans toward the logic side of things of why should he change the way he live if that would affect his impact on his voice for the homeless. The article has several more examples of such logic being applied making this article of how theEric Sheptock is using his voice to help others who are homeless and his daily routine.
