Homework

2.  Reich is trying to persuade his audience that the number of highway deaths have gone down, not because of safer vehicles, or because roads have become safer, but simply because the economy has affected soo many people negatively but has caused fewer deaths on the highways to occur.
3.  Reich's attitude toward the topic seems like he just wants to disprove everyone who has come up with dofferent reasons, and he wants to inform his audience by using logical reasoning backed up by reasearch and information.
6. It seemed like this sentence wasn't targeted to his audience, but rather to people who have stated and came up with different reasons as to why the number of deaths on the highway have gone down, so i say right on Reich!!!
8. Reich seems very credible, he seems to well informed on the subject, presenting information done from reasearch and then stating the cause of the effect, he presents his information in a way that it can relate to any person who comes across his blog. On top of all of that he works at a university, and im pretty sure they accept facts rather than opinions.
9. Reich mentions the NHSA in his first paragraph to catch the readers attention and to state an effect caused by many things, he then goes on by expanding on the subject presented in the first paragraph, and he also mentions the NHSA to demonstrate that he didn't just make up a fact but rather took it from a credible source.
