- Stein is not portraying himself as a friendly writer “In The Defense of…”. I believe that his reasoning behind that is to show that there could be many ways that his argument was to be perceived.
- Stein believes that the typical american roots for the underdog, which he doesn’t think is right, therefor, what I believe Stein would see as a gap is the audiences understanding of the importance of the problems, the wars as the example the hidden agenda behind the american spirit for something to be great.
- How I see this information filling the gap is by showing the things that people will believe are true just because they feel passionate about it. This also gives authors like him an advantage to take a comical approach to these events.
- Stein uses sarcasm
- The danger of an essay like this is some people don’t think about the deeper meaning of the message and take the sarcasm or the comical message as a reliable source. It is easy to misinterpret an article like this.
