1 - The authors main purpose in writing this article to is to show the reader that smoking in residential areas, such as private apartment buildings, are becoming a problem through out the United States. It is specifically becoming an issue from senior citizens. The purpose of the article is to show that many private apartment buildings and complexes are taking action by setting smoke free areas / rooms, and some also banning and making apartments completely smoke free. Smokers are causing a lot of problems for their neighbors who are having a hard time to breathe.
2 - I do think that U.S citizens who smoke are victims of discrimination. If they are not allowed to smoke in their own homes, then they are being discriminated. How ever, it is also not fair for non smokers who have to put up with the smoke as well. Smokers are looked upon by many as people who dont care about their health, as well as others. That is ones decision, however, if they want to smoke or not. It is their lives, not ours. My dad smokes. I hate that he does because he always smells like ciggs. and he is killing him self. But he is an adult, and i guess its his right. He isn't allowed to smoke at home, only outside in the backyard.

Barry, first of all I think you might want to rethink your abbreviation for the blog assignment. I agree with your view on discrimination. At least your dad goes outside of the house. As for the reason the article was written, how or why did the author write this article? Wsa it to persuade, inform, or entertain??
ReplyDeletei agree with u its matter of decision to smoke or not
ReplyDeletei agree with you when you say smokers are looked at as people who don't care for their health. They could at least care for the people around them and smoke elsewhere for example, your father. Thats being responsible with his smoking habit.
