Worthy, or Not?

I think Seitz makes a worthy claim that discourse is a reflection of individual socio-political, gender, religious, ethic, and cultural embodiments. This is reflected nicely in the samples of Lilia, Diana, and Mike’s rhetoric. Seitz shows how individual’s components transfer into their compositional discourse. This is important because as instructors we must attempt to strive to know and understand our students, in order to help advance their abilities as writers. On the other hand, this could be an unworthy and ridiculous claim, for how does one person achieve this feat in a ten week time span; sixteen if one’s lucky?
