AUTHOR
I like Authors who think outside the box. There is nothing more entertaining than conspiracies that make sense. An author should provide enough evidence to back up his or her theory. This piece that I chose has one author. He is a male who believes that Aliens exist in the universe.
The language he uses is English and he resides in the United States. There is nothing that gives away his ethnicity or age. The author does not seem to have a sense of humor. He is straight forward with the information. I have a sense of humor and I like the authors I encounter to have it too. But this subject matter has no room for jokes. So I can allow the seriousness from this author.
He doesn't try to convince his audience that aliens exist. He assumes that his readers believe in the subject matter, so he dives right in with information. The author seems to be educated. His vocabulary box is overfilled with words. I had to look up some of the words for understanding. He provides images that were shot using thermal vision. Here is an author extending the truth with images that you rarely see. When you look at the images, you can see the shapes of the heads. He even goes into detail explaining what the images look like at the bottom of each one. The thermal imagery makes it hard to view the images clearly. The author does a good job getting his point across, and he posts daily with his theories.
AUDIENCE
I consider myself to be a 'thinker' among the 'stinkers'. In other words, people who still believe that we are just here and not on a planet called Earth are the 'stinkers'. They stink the atmosphere with idiotic wisdom. The author's intended audience are those that believe in other beings living in the universe. For the non-believers, he has videos of witnesses claiming that they saw an UFO in their area.
The piece blogged makes it unclear about the demographical target. But if I had to choose one, it would be the older generation. The younger generation might not understand this piece because of the author's lingo. The audience intended seems to be in the United States. This piece felt limited. The subject of Aliens is a worldly topic, but the author targets the U.S.A. Everybody has a stereotypical image of aliens. Big head and eyes is associated with these beings. The author provides the audience with images that might change their perception.
While you attend to some rhetorical matters (author and audience, for instance), I can't say that I ever knew which blog you were reviewing. I think, mostly, that comes from you struggling with this assignment and not understanding your audience--your classmates and me. Let's talk more about this as we move forward.
