Humanities

Read the article “What’s the Difference Between a Frat and a Gang?” and write a 300-word critical analysis. Consider the following questions (these are just guides, and you should feel free to address any aspect of the article that interests you):

  • Who is the author?
  • Where was the article published?
  • What is the thesis or main claim made by the author?
  • What other claims does the author make so support the main claim?
  • What outside sources does the author reference?
  • Who do you think the author’s intended reader is?
  • Highlight the key points of the author’s argument.
  • Do you agree with the author’s thesis?
    • Explain why or why not.
  • Do you agree with the author’s supporting claims?
    • Explain why or why not.
  • Did you agree or disagree with the author from the start?
  • Was the author unconvincing in some way?
  • Do you have any evidence that contradicts the author’s claims?

    • Finally, how does this relate to current events in the United States?
