Response to the Readings #4

Chapter 7 of “They Say I Say” focused on various moves that you and I can make to answer the “who cares?” and “so what?” questions in your own writing. There are different ways to provide the concept of this move. We want to make the words “who cares” clear and understanding to the reader. The templates for indicating who cares are great to address “who cares?” questions in your own writing. You want to have a well focused thesis that is supported with evidence to “So what? Who cares? The question “who cares?” is very important for general readers to understand what you are talking about. I find these moves to be very useful and it will support my arguments to the readers.
So do we need to address these questions in everything that we write? According to the book, “it is really necessary to address these questions if you’re proposing something so obviously consequential as, say, a cure for a childhood disease or a program to eliminate illiteracy” (95). I suppose in some cases, however, there are readers who already know why it matters and this can lead to other moves in writing. There is much for me to learn in writing and I know that these moves will help me with my papers in English 101.
