Not only did he bring the issue up, but also he announced numerous ways to make a change that should work if everyone really applied the techniques to their writing. He is a teacher, but he is talking about this topic from a different point of view as a director of a writing program. It all makes sense if everybody knows that. Think about it. If he has a job that calls for him to improve writers’ techniques then he is doing just that with this argument and convincing proposal.
SOAPSTone Subject: The subject of The Allegory of the Cave is the enlightenment process. Throughout the allegory itself Plato shows the other philosophers that they must be able to enlighten the ones that come out of the cave first so that they can go back in to bring more people out of the cave. This in turn will create new and better leaders of society than there are now. This is shown in the quote, “Then, I said, the business of us who are the founders of the State will be to compel the best minds to attain that knowledge which we have already shown to be the greatest of all-they must continue to ascend until they arrive at the good; but when they have ascended and seen enough we must not allow them to do as they do now.” This quote shows that Plato believes that the rulers today aren’t enlightened and that the philosophers have to be able to enlighten the common people to make new leaders that will have the knowledge
The means of which each hero completes their quest gives humans a lesson on life and how humans also do grow up and get better at things and problem solving. Everything that Stillman has said about a hero’s quest is in its own particular ways true and valid, but each story has its own life lesson and these will be revealed to you. As a hero Gilgamesh goes out on his quest in a different way than both Rama and Odysseus. His different way still has many parallels to the other two heroes though. Gilgamesh was a half-man, half-god and what the class considered bored, so he went through his city and the wilderness killing everything and anything for no apparent reason other than he had the ability to do so.
To strengthen his argument and enhance his writing, Gladwell uses rhetorical writing strategies. Gladwell supports his argument with ethos, which is presenting a theory through scientific studies, expert analysis, and real-life examples. Gladwell deducts from his main idea to support his argument with anecdotes of examples in real-life and in science.

He also uses some psychological jargon in the scientific and the marketing examples to prove to his audience that he is intelligent, and he knows what he is talking about.

Criticism to Technopoly Abraham C. Vanegas University of Maryland University College Advance Writing 391 As I read Technopoly by Neil Postman my view of technology changes little by little. Although at first after reading the synopsis in the back of the book and the introduction I thought this might be just another book criticizing technology severely, I came to find the view of this author very interesting and at some point even realistic. Potsman is a knowledgeable person, his position as faculty and writer are very clear in his writing and his main idea, which is to keep one eye open when allowing technologies in our lives is actually something that after reading his book I will take into consideration. From the beginning of his book he explains how introducing new things to our life have changed the way we are in some sort of way since the old days. “A new technology does not add or subtract something.
