Moore does a great job connecting to his readers by using satire and humor to make his point, but does not sway from the seriousness of the subject by embedding facts about education. He does however, have an angry tone throughout his article, but he seems to use that in a way to give the reader a sense of anger towards the subject also, thus making the reader feel more connected with his text.

Lose Yourself The article that I chose to write my paper on is entitled “Power Process: Be here now”. This article grabbed my attention because I often find myself daydreaming and being easily distracted in meetings, conversations, classrooms and while reading. The article explains the importance of being in the moment and how to find your way back to the moment when you get lost for any period of time.
