Write a paper about “Your Waitress, Your Professor”

• Who wrote/created the text? What credentials do they have as an author and on the topic?

• When was the text written/created? In what context is the author speaking on/to the topic?

• What is the intended audience? If you feel included as part of the audience, think of why s/he is writing to you. If you feel excluded, think of ways s/he might be more inclusive – or why they may have excluded you from their intended audience.

• Gloss over the sources and information used by the author. Are these sources credible? Do they support the main argument?
