This reading truly enabled me to realize how necessary it is to keep your readers in mind( while writing). When i write, i write for myself, and i forget about my readers i just get so amerced in my work. I realize how such a selfish act can ruin my paper; after all, i am writing to entertain my audience (not myself). The text provides the reader with excellent examples of how he/she can incorporate a "naysayer" into the text without truly hurting their text (taking away from the text). I realize the importance of saying, "although i am against ______, i see why it can be important for____ (you get the idea). A "naysayer" should be a MUST for academic writing because like the text says (it makes the reader sound open minded/not narrow minded and to some extent it also makes the writer sound wise).
Wise, this brings me to address Aristotle's topoi (worthy); quite obviously the reading from 74-97 is categorized as worthy. These readings provide the reader with great, vivid, and explanatory examples of why "naysayers" make one's text sound worthy, and worthy enough to read. "Naysayers" do not make the writer sound like their staburn and care for their ideas only, they, in fact, enable the reader to sound like they are open to listen to others opinions, and are willing to take others "considerations " into "consideration."
