Kill that $*#&$@!

Men are from vengeance. Does this suggest that men are born vengeful? Or learn to become law giving cowboys when the scales are tipped? What ever the case maybe men are not the only ones. Women on the other hand can hold a grudge all on their own. With the author William Saletan at the wheel of this essay, he plans to feed you the idea's of how vengeful people are through drowning you in statistics. With his careful layout of compare and contrast he try's to seemingly convince you of what drives men or women to lead to their empathic or "schadenfreude" choices. Which leads to his cliche wording of how women tend to have the bleeding hearts while us, the men, are still being compared to neanderthalls. Examples of how we reacted to 9/11 was that men sided with the idea of destroying the source while women sided for defense. Yet through all that he pointed out some decent arguements which provided a sound support for his purpose. If you hit me, Imma *$#! you up is the best way to explain it.

  1. Richard,
    I agree: "Which leads to his cliche wording of how women tend to have the bleeding hearts while us, the men, are still being compared to neanderthalls." However, you don't provide much in the way of rhetorical strategy here; you note some "decent arguments" and "sound support" - what are these? It's very clear you disagree with the author, so, as you write your paper, work on taking a bit of a step back so it comes off a bit less biased.
