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
