It is interesting that you brought up how the conciseness of the article played a role in its effectiveness for the reader. I think this could be the case, but it could also leave the reader pondering the topic due to an incomplete understanding of the author's point of view.
ReplyDeleteIn that time, i agree it could be reviewed as college students simply because it was big in the 60s for the participants in the Psychedelics to be young, wild young adults, especially college students. This is the time for them to be wild and free and pursuing all different sorts of revolutions like the drug and sexual. The audience is them because the love movement is distracting them from the true effects of using LSD and the reason for doing it. Yes, it is a love and carefree environment for students at that time, but the importance of taking drugs and what it can do to a person still exists. The conciseness will make it easier for the reader which could be not just college students, but anyone who happens to take the drug, so they can gain faster understandings, and not have to read a book to register information on what exactly they’re doing to their body.
ReplyDeleteI completely agree that the author of this article used concise language to get their point across. I believe that the author did not use eloquent or verbose language not because they thought their audience was dumb, but so that their findings could speak for themselves. So that the results of their studies are what remained most clear in the audience’s minds and left the largest impacts.
