Plausible Reactions

Implausible Reactions

Goals for my Argument

Make readers reconsider how they choose to punish their children.

Convince at least one reader
not to spank their children.

Evoke empathy and understanding.

A reader feels inspired to write a response. Could be positive or negative.

Someone is inspired to change their method of punishing their child.

Every single person that reads my article decides to stop spanking their children.

Feels nothing after reading my article and promptly forgets about it.

Who I want to see my article

All parents regardless can relate to my argument in one way or another, even if it's to disagree with my stance.

Parents who are in favor of spanking. Attempt to convince them to stop spanking.

That child may then have a better relationship with their parent(s).

Criticism is always helpful to becoming a better writer.

I would then have to reevaluate my argument to see where I could make it stronger.
