Article: Sanders over the Edge
Thesis: Krugman’s article does a good job of appealing to everyday people that read the New York Times by picking a controversial topic to write about and also using simple language to make his points.
For my essay I will look at the article by Krugman on the NYT which criticizes the Sanders campaign. I will look to see if it is effective in reaching his target audience, whichever it might be. I will also examine his word choice and how he structures his arguments to see how effective they are. I will also examine other articles that were written that oppose what Krugman said to see what they think about the article and use them to form my own opinion on it.
Nicely done, Gary! I would suggest that you hone this a bit to get a little more specific about the controversial issue itself, because you will be analyzing, specifically, how well the writer does in reaching his demographic with this issue.
