EXAMPLE RESPONSE (160 words):

Kristof’s article, "Fleeing to the Mountains", is trying to convince and inform readers (Lunsford & Ruszkiewicz 9) that the wild lands should be saved for personal enjoyment and not used for commercial purposes as President Trump proposes. Principally, as Lunsford and Ruszkiewicz suggest, Kristof’s argument would be considered an epideictic argument because it explores current values of society (17) by discussing the virtues of America’s publicly owned wilderness areas. The author’s argument can be thought of as a proposal argument (23) because in the end he proposes that “everyone run to the mountains” to get in touch with nature and experience the value such spaces offer. The beginning of the article is clearly meant to appeal to readers emotions (27) as they might reflect on trips or experiences being in the great outdoors. Finally, the potential audience for the article would be involked readers (25) not familiar with the changes Trump is proposing and convince readers to not accept the changes the Trump is proposing.
