The author gives an example of Bordo’s poorly supported arguments because of her poor quotations structure giving a reasoning that,” readers will have a hard time constructing what Bordo argued” (45).

The author states, “When offering such explanations, it is important to use lan­ guage that accurately reflects the spirit of the quoted passage” (47). As the author is trying to explain how you present a certain language in the same style of the quotation.

By stating, “Some writers quote too little­ perhaps because they don’t want to bother going back to the original text and looking up the author’s exact words, or because they think they can reconstruct the author’s ideas from mem­ory”, the author defines supporting quotations to usually be “perfect”(42). Basically, one usually quotes too little information for the reader to fully comprehend or understand their topics. It’s always better to quote enough but not too much information for the reader to understand your point of view

I read some books occasionally. Especially when I do not have anything to do and when I’m bored. Reading a few books has helped me “navigate” a specific genre that is satisfying. According to Kenny Dirk, genre is basically defined by analyzing the form in which it was delivered. For example, when we’re reading a book and it states some information about a spirit or a ghost, we automatically presume that it’s going to be a horror genre. Although, one doesn’t seem to analyze the voice of that specific ghost. That ghost could be a voice toward a common issue in America. The point I am trying to make here is that genre is rooted from something more deep than what it has been defined as for years. So, after analyzing Kenny Dirk’s article, I’ve come to a conclusion that I would know the genre of thesis statement well as I was taught to refer back to my thesis statement in my writing. I learned this genre in my EH 101 class and there are many common rhetorical features within this genre such as ethos, logos, pathos, narration, description, and so many other features you could add. If I apply the same concept as Kenny Dirk, I think other examples of “genres” could be common knowledge or experience. 

Kenny Dirk is trying to send a message that having knowledge of the wide spectrum of “genre” can help a writer work with more complex tactics rather than knowing the basic knowledge of “genre”. I think that the genre of thesis statements will still help me in the long run and give me good information for Unit 2. The fact that the genre of a thesis statement can be relevant to a broad topic of choice is something particular that could make it a good potential source for my future topics. I think relegating my different choices of topics with my thesis statement can make my delivery and message more powerful.
