*Note from Nancy regarding the reading assignment from
You, Writing!
On page 20 of
You, Writing!, the authors include the following sentence: “The goal of writing is either to manipulate an audience or to work with the audience.”
I disagree with the above statement because first, writers have a variety of goals (and roles), not just two, and second, I object to the term “manipulate” as one of goals of writing. I understand that some people want to use writing as a way to manipulate, but that’s not a goal for my classes. I object so much to the term that I almost didn’t assign this chapter for you, even though the rest of the information is great.
If you are passionate about your topic and you’re writing to convince an audience to support your position, you can do so without being manipulative. You can use sound logic, a variety of examples, and a clear writing style, all of which help your audience to first understand your point and then reject or accept it, based on how well you have presented your argument. I am using the same strategies right now as I explain to you why the term “manipulate” carries a negative connotation which alienates me (the audience) and makes me want to stop reading the chapter.
I would like you to remember this example as you compose your own essays, especially when we get to the argument section at the end of the semester. Your goal should be to engage your audience and get them interested in your topic, not manipulate them. Every word matters, so once you’ve written a rough draft, it’s always a good idea to read it as if you were part of the audience. Is your writing accomplishing what you intended?
