Men Are From Vengeance

i decided to do this entry and my paper on the atricle "Men are from Vengeance", which states the difference between men and women when it comes down to taking vegeance on those who have commited horrendous crimes. I think the main strategies that William Saletan uses throughout this article are both compare and contrast, as well as statistics. he shows the differences between men and women and in their ethics towards things like the death penalty and revenge for the attacks on 9/11. he shows how men tend to be more for those criminals paying the price for the crimes they have commited, whereas women show more empathy towards the convicted. Saletan also uses statistics to show proof to his findings. throughout the essay, he refers to several studies, surveys, polls, and data taken about the subject, so that he can give the audience some figures to look at and to ponder on.

  1. I wrote mine on the same topic. I agree with what you said about the strategies he used. I also noticed he used a lot of repetition that helped me follow the article and focus on content not format. Good luck with your paper.
