They Say, I Say Ch. 5 Execise 1

A signal phrase that Charlip uses is when after her quote she says "If only that were true...", meaning that she was disagreeing with the quote she inserted, which is where the "I Say" came in. The Charlip described what her sociology professor said about the different classes in society, and she stated a whole bunch of questionss, questioning what defines society. Another part where Charlip explained her thoughts is when she said "I always felt we were in no man's land." So she specifically stated how she felt in the last paragraph.

I think that she agrees and disagrees with with the summaries she gives on what other authors think. It was actually ahrd for me to understand if she agreed or disagreed because there was so much information that she did not really explain how she felt about the other authors thoughts. I would say that she barely put thoughts into what she was writing about. I had to re-read it several times to she where she stood, and I am just guessing that she is on the fence about how she feels because it took her so long to put her thoughts into the paper.

This paper does not resemble a normal research paper. According to the layout and design it resembles more of a newspaper/ editorial to me. With the huge captions and pictures it catpures the audiences attention. The way the design is with the pictures it influences the audience to read what is the most interesting to them first because you can tell what the paragraph is going to be about since there is a bold title right above it. The pictures keep you interested because it goes along with what the author is talking about in that part of the paper. This paper influenced me in a way that I wanted to keep reading it because it was not boring like most research papers are, where there are no pictures and the titles blend in with the rest of the paper.
The paper would be a lot less interesting if it was re-formatted to look like a typical college research paper. I probably would not have wanted to read it at all if the layout changed because even though you are not supposed to judge a book by its cover, most people do.
