Transcript

00:00

Lory And here's your shmoop du jour brought to you

00:05

by the assumptions people make about their audience Who will

00:09

do that Like when all new york comedians assume well

00:13

there in yankee territory doesn't always happen All right Checking

00:16

the following passage and pains arguments comes in Man they're

00:20

great friends It goes on and on and on and

00:25

on but we're still reading Yes really And on and

00:31

on increasing Flavoring Okay despite the author's different viewpoints what

00:42

does the material presented in this article suggests that pain

00:45

and chalmers both assume about their audience and when you

00:48

assume you make a well all right our choices are

00:54

readers behind you really great britain Well we've got two

00:59

very different men making two very different arguments she's tomorrow

01:03

no use come over here chalmers accuses paying of an

01:07

indecent attack against the english constitution and his debasing monarchs

01:14

with the butterflies so it's pretty clear chalmers is the

01:17

on ly writer tapping into the audiences affinity for great

01:21

britain meanwhile pains arguing pretty hard for starting a new

01:25

government so it wouldn't make a whole lot of sense

01:28

if he assumed his audience would prefer great britain So

01:32

answer a doesn't work pain does make some very illustrative

01:35

comparisons about babies and meet way babies and me but

01:41

chalmers isn't quite so metaphorical in his argumentation He pretty

01:45

much just thinks britain is awesome So what are pain

01:49

and chalmers shared assumptions Well payne admits that he's heard

01:53

the value of the relationship with britain asserted by some

01:57

and then he proceeds to argue against it Obviously chalmers

02:00

assumes some of his readership has a positive opinion about

02:04

britain so the answer is d both pain and chalmers

02:06

assume at least part of the intended readership has a

02:09

positive opinion of great britain But you see sometimes assumptions

02:13

aren't actually a bad thing unless you're in mets territory

02:17

and well you might wanna be careful there Thank you 00:02:20.198 --> [endTime] thank you
