The primary audience is the the chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature. The secondary audience would be the people who live in Idaho (I'm guessing...) The author's tone is very sarcastic. His sarcasm really shows why guns should not be allowed on campus. Even his title, "When May I Shoot a Student" shows that if he has a gun, he should be allowed to use it. In the 4th paragraph he states, "the harshest penalty available here at Boise State is expulsion, used only for the most heinous crimes, like cheating on Scantron exams. But now that lethal force is an option, I need to know which infractions may be treated as de facto capital crimes" (Hampikian). This should make the legislature think about their actions of allowing guns on campus, and the people who live in Idaho protest the new gun laws.
The text was directed primarily to the chief counsel at ISU Legislature, secondary audience would be mostly staff and town citizens living near campus. The authors tone throughout the text was very sarcastic, this ironically was a great choice of tone for a paper like this because instead of being very tedious and serious the author states the obvious making the chiefs judgment very poor and powerless, by making comments like "I assume if a student shoots first, I am allowed to empty my clip"(5th paragraph) We could say he exaggerated here but thats the beauty of sarcasm it makes something unordinary quite possible in our minds and thats what makes the authors tone very affective in clarifying his point of view.
Primary audiences: the chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature. Secondary audiences: people how live in Idaho state. The author's tone was sarcastic. This extreme tone made his text more powerful, and expressed his opinion both directly and indirectly. His tone was indirectly because he did not directly say that he disagrees with the bill. His tone was directly because all of us could directly feel his view from the tone.
The primary audience is the chief lawyer of the Idaho State Legislature. The second audience is people living in or near the campus of the residents of this state. The author's tone was sarcastic. Authors believe that students should not have a gun, and he believes there should be some law to restrict them. Author lists a number of reasons and examples.“While our city police chief has expressed grave concerns about allowing guns on campus, I would point out that he already has one.（In 7th paragraph）” Guns should not be brought to school, after all, has a lot of shooting. We should recognize the seriousness of the matter.
Primary Audiences: the Chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature Secondary Audiences: Any college students and faculties in Idaho In the beginning of the articles, author use many not serious tone to describe some thought about allowing gun on campus. I believe the not serious tone is indirectly criticizing the chief of counsel on being not serious about the issue when consider the change of the law. The author provide many option that he may use the gun (which he will not), those option sound ridiculous. Those ridiculous options are actually supporting authors thought that there is no circumstanced that he will use gun-then why should gun appear on campus? Secondary audiences may realize the authors ideas at these point and find his point convincing by the example. There are more direct expression near the end of the paragraph. This is the climax of the articles that he want to directly argue that the gun shouldn't be any where on campus.
Primary Audiences: the Chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature Secondary Audiences: other collage students In the aritcle, the authors' tone is sarcastic. Author thinks students shouldn't bring guns on campus. Author writes examples in te article. It could effect the primary audience and secondary audiences. Primary audience see the evidences in the article will think about the stitution in thier state; the secondary audiences should know the disadvantages that bring the guns to campus. When they are drunk, the guns will be really dangerous.
Primary Audience is the members of Legislature, because his main point is that consider his amendment for bulletproof office. Secondary Audiences is the students Author's tone is very worried and anxious, we can feel that he want his idea come true faster and faster.because it may cause some very bad accidents. the effect of primary audience is that they may publish some law or rules to avoid accident. the Secondary audiences effect is that students was persuaded to give up bringing the gun to the campus.
Primary audience is the chief counsel of Idaho State Legislature. Secondary audience is the college students. The tone of the author is sarcastic. The author thinks that students being allowed to carry guns is absurd and dangerous. He thinks of college students is at "the age associated with alcohol and drug experimentation." This shows that he believes that the students is at the age where they want to taste the feeling of wildness. The author is showing his weakness, " given the velocity of firearms, and my aging reflexes." This is to set an example that he might be hurt and indirectly asking in a challenging tone whether the chief counsel is willing to take any form of responsibility if he or anyone else that get hurt, and in extreme cases die.
The primary audience is the the chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature. The secondary audience would be the people who live in Idaho and anyone else who encounters this article in the US. The author has a sarcastic tone and uses this as a driving force for his argument. It is presented in a different manner and thinking about the consequences this law will bring to college campuses. The author uses this to portray the underlying fear he has about this bill.
I thought that this letter was hilarious!! But to answer the question: The authors primary audience is the Chief Counsel of the Idaho State Legislature. Secondary audiences may include: Students, Parents of Students, School Faculty, and The House of Representatives for all state and federal governments. The tone is both ironic and as many other students said sarcastic. The reason why it is ironic is because the letter actually is doing the opposite of what this man is literally saying.
Primary audience: chief of the Idaho state legislature. Secondary audience: people who lives in the Idaho state. The author has a sarcastic tone, we are able to know he wants us understand and agree with him as soon as possible. the effect of primary audience could be making law to prohibit it, and for secondary audience they may not bring gun in the future.
The primary audience is the chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature, and the secondary audience would be the citizens of Idaho and institutions such as universities, in Hampikian's case specifically the Boise State University where he works, that are concerned with the topic of the right to bear arms on campus. Hampikian's tone is very sarcastic and that helps employ a dark humor to the topic. His sarcasm is very direct and this supports his opinion that the bill that permits guns on university campuses is ridiculous and will have the opposite outcome of a safe learning environment. He says that his students are adept at handling guns as they were trained on the "Xbox and PlayStation." The use of sarcasm has a refuting effect on the chief of counsel's bill; he wants him/them (as it can also be addressed to the people that agree with the bill) to know that he disagrees with the bill. The people of Idaho are presented with his side of the topic and allows them to consider the implications the bill has on safety.
The primary audience may be the chief counsel of Idaho and the secondary audience is most likely the students. the author's tone is sort of angry and concerned about the situation. The message is coming directly from a professor so applys directly to the students so they could make a better school campus.
The primary audience is the chief counsel of the Idaho State Legislature and the secondary audience is the students in Idaho State. I think the tone is ironic. Actually, the author thinks that it is very dangerous to carry guns on campus. But in the article, he uses this tone to challenge the the counsel and wants to draw the attention of the counsel. The author also wants students to think about benefits and worst situation at the same time.
The primary audience were the Boise's chief of police and the members of the Legislature, while the secondary audience were people associated with Boise State whether they work there or study there. The author uses sarcasm in different parts of the essay for instance she he said, "On a final note: I hope its members will consider my amendment for bulletproof office windows and faculty body armor in Boise State blue and orange." Sarcasm is an excellent strategy to convey certain ideas to the readers' mind. In the other hand, sarcasm might make the audience think that the author is not taking the matter or issue very seriously. Sarcasm, in my opinion, is most effective for people who fully understand sarcasm. And in this essay I think this strategy was effective.
The primary audience is the Chief Counsel of the Idaho State Legislature. The secondary audience are the students and faculty of Boise State University. The constant sarcastic tone was very effective in appealing to both audiences. The sarcasm brought all of the possible scenarios that could play out into mind for the chief counsel, in which they would be held responsible for. The tone was effective in appealing to the secondary audience because they can picture themselves in such scenarios, leading them to back the Hampkins.
The primary audience is the chief counsel of the ISL. The secondary audience is students. The tone is sarcastic, since the title is already shows author's mind. This tone shows his discontent with the counsel and also lets students know his feeling and when why he doesn't want gun showed on campus.
The primary audience is the Chief Counsel of the Idaho State Legislature. The secondary audience consists of the students and faculty of Boise State University. The author's tone seems to be serious, but he writes this serious tone in a satirical manner. This tone would likely help in the portrayal of his view points to the secondary audience, but this tone would likely hurt his case to the primary audience. As state officials, the Idaho State Legislation would likely respond better to a completely serious piece that does not use satire.
The primary audience is the Chief Counsel of the ISL. The secondary audience is the students and faculty of Boise State. The author's tone is very serious when displaying the idea that he doesn't want guns on campus.
