The essay that I chose to analyze is titled, “The Trouble with Diversity: How We Learned to Love Identity and Ignore Inequality” written by Walter Benn Michaels. The author’s main purpose of this essay is to persuade others to look at the differences in our human races from another perspective. The author’s main point of the essay is that our human race isn’t what makes each individual different, it’s what we have in our lives that differentiates us from everybody else. The author is successful by persuading his audience by using these three elements; the expression used, the target audience, and the evidence used for support.
