“Skeptics May Object” and “So What? Who Cares?”
by Alexis Baer

Writers begin to start their own literature solely based on ideas, connections, counterarguments, and personal views to support an argument. Essays and other forms of work are always being heavily reviewed by multiple audiences and critics as well. These critics may have a different perspective on the discussed topic, will analyze our work in full depth, and contribute their harsh yet helpful input. This method will often times help make our writing stronger and keep writers from straying off topic. Based on my essay about the gazebo and supporting it back to William Cronon’s arguments; critics might begin to notice grammatical errors, unclear sentences or thoughts, few examples, or inaccurate connections made between the text and the authors main point. Answering the “so what” question is mainly focusing on a group of individuals and getting them involved in the topic being discussed. By mentioning the significance of the gazebo and how it connects to the world around us, it hooks the readers on immediately and makes them genuinely concerned or interested in what is being said. The point of good writing is to accept and change the flaws throughout your work, being concise, and provide a good argument that individuals can gain knowledge from.
