After reading Zhiheng’s argument, the similarities I found between our responses were that we both emphasized that we need to gain the readers’ trust so that whatever we have to say is credible. We both also noted that our motive needs to be clear from the start. A difference I found was that Zhiheng’s points out that humor can also establish credibility because that makes the audience more open to hearing your point. One thing that Zhiheng does is, relating the passage we have read to personal experience, and I feel like that is something I can improve in my writing.
