What I found interesting in Chapter 14 were the 5 types of audience and persuasion strategies. These five types are Negative audience, positive audience, divided audience, uninformed audience, and apathetic audience. These five types have their own way of persuading the audience. They are unique in the fact that each of these strategies can be used depending on what kind of audience there is. For example of the negative audience, it would be used for topics that the audience do not favor. Thus we can use the strategy that the book gives and persuade our audience. As for the positive, it is for topics that are favorable for the same position as the writer. The divided audience, which I think was interesting, look at both ways where it is both negative and positive. Thus I think this can convince all audiences. Overall, if we can use all of these types of strategies, then we would accomplish our wa of persuading the audience.
