    In the book “Ties that Bind”, Sarah Schulman discusses the terrible treatment of the LGBTQ community. She focuses on how the roots of homophobia originate in the house hold at the beginning of her book, then further explains the cruelty in which the group faces on an everyday basis. Sarah Schulman’s main argument of “Ties That Bind” is that the LGBTQ community has suffered enough, and in order to effectively make change homo/heterosexual individuals must bind together. One example is, if a parent tells their homosexual child that they are not allowed to bring your significant other to a family reunion, that person’s sibling should demand that their lover be included. “Ties That Bind” argues that this type of allegiance is far more effective…

    Gutkind 61-68 After reading Gutkinds 61-68 I leaned a lot more information that I could put into my own works that would make them better and more creative. I really took a lot from the paragraph that talked about geography and travel. This paragraph stated that information about location can add substantive and allow you to connect to more readers. I realized that this paragraph speaking about location could also be applied to much more than just travel and location. Connecting with the reader is in some aspects the most important thing to do as a writer and adding information that would help them better understand what you are talking about is key.…

These messages, however, have a much stronger appeal to the audience while encompassed in personal interjections and anecdotes. When the reader can connect to the author, their message is much more effective and personal to the reader as opposed to cold statements of ideas. Deborah Tannen in “But What Do You Mean?”…
