This piece was an interesting because the whole authors
purpose is to convince the reader i.e. me that high school football should be
banned just like smoking is banned. He is trying to make us all believe that
high school football players don’t know what they are doing when they sign up
for football. What I am trying to say is that if he is going to convince us
that football is very dangerous and many people get brain injuries from is he
should just be asking us to not drive and not to do anything else that has a risk
factor. I was a high school football player and I turned out just fine.
The audience for this piece was directed towards parents and
the older generation. I say that because it has a bunch of warnings about why
the child should not be allowed to do football. I still believe that the
parents if they cared about their child they would let he/she make their own decisions
and tell them about the risks.
The voice of this piece is to warn and to try to scare
people not to play football or the ban it entirely. I say this because it show
in many cases that football players have had early signs and diagnosed with
brain related injuries.
I don’t believe in my opinion that this piece was effect at
all to convince me that high school football should be banned. Because the
players know the risk and love to hurt people so I don’t think it would
convince anyone who had a head on their shoulders. I do not believe also in my opinion
that it had any effect on the target audience.
