Analyzing Message in "NY Gov's $15 Minimum Wage Proposal Would Affect Millions"

This post will be about analyzing the message behind the article "NY Gov's $15 Minimum Wage Proposal Would Affect Millions."

Proimos, Alex. Cinematic New York City. 7/3/2011 via Wikimedia. 2.0 Generic.


Out of the bullets on pg 181 of Students Guide, the most relevant ones portrayed in the article would be responding to a particular event and expressing an idea. The even that the author is responding to is the proposal of the minimum wage increase. There are many different sides to the discussion but the author seems to express the idea of most sides.

The bullet that was the least relevant was that the author was trying make the audience feel a certain way. I think the author was trying to persuade that audience that this is an important topic to discuss, but not to make them pick a side.

There were not many nuances that were apparent in the article. There was layering of opinions. The author bounced around to the various opinions of the works, businesses, government, and the different segregated parts of New York.
