Chapter 7: So What? Who Cares?
This chapter is all about answering these questions. We start with why these question are important in the very first place. Reader cannot always answer these question on their own. With this in mind, the writer will have to answer these questions and make it clear to the reader why whatever is being talked about matters. Transfer into the questions themselves. Who cares is about who should care and so what is why it matters. These are important to actually get/keep a reader engaged. There are some templates for answering both of these questions within one’s writing. Wrapping up is a disclaimer. You do not need to explain why something matters for everything.
I read this because I tend to struggle with the why’s of these essay. This is typically because I do not see why whatever it is I am writing is important or why I should care about the topic. With this in mind, I thought I would give this chapter a read.
So what happens next? Well I am disregarding the advice of the book. Not all they way, but I am concluding with “we should not care about this.” My grounds are that there are people who care when they really should not. When it comes to life, tell stories or don’t. It really doesn’t matter and no one should care if someone does it one way or the other.
With all do respect, this seems like the easy way out. Allow me to pose the question: Do you think that groups tell stories as a way to cultivate “personality?” Do you beleive people tell stories about groups as a way to clutivate “personality?” It’s possible to look at these individual patterns as occuring on a larger scale. When we do this, it may be possible to see these topics as more consequential. As always, I appreciate your honesty! Authenticity proves so important when it comes to real learning.
