Batting Clean up and striking out soapstoned

Subject- The subject of this article is the subject of how males and females notice and enjoy completely different things that the opposite sex will never be able to understand. This is supported by How Barry talks about how women notice the tiniest amount of dirt and men don;t notice dirt until it piles up. Also how the men watch the world series while the women couldn't care one bit, and how women enjoy shopping and men enjoy sports.

Occasion-  This article was written in 1988 by Dave Barry out of Dave Barry's greatest hits. You can tell that  this article was written in modern America because there's t.v and baseball proof of America and modern technology. This gives a modern  view of this subject and it's accurate.

Audience- I believe that the audience of this article are adult males and females. As we read the stories and facts are all about male and female adults curious in why males and females can love each other so much but have completely different ideas of fun and ideas.

Purpose- I believe that Barry wrote this essay to point out a fact and somewhat of a question. This was the purpose. This point was that women notice things and do this men would never notice or do, and vice verse. This i supported in the article by the first line; "The primary difference between men and women is that women can see extremely small quantities of dirt." Although this is true and supports the purpose what it really stands for the differences in behavior ideas and enjoyments between men and women.

Speaker-Dave Barry, proclaimed funniest man in America, believes that as the speaker of this piece tha men and women are so different in ways that the two will never understand. this is supported by the line from the essay saying; "The opposite side of the dirt coin, of course is, sports. This s an area where men tend to feel very sensitive and women tend to be extremely callous.

Tone-Dave Barry expresses a very humorous and observatory attitude about how men and women are so different in aspects. These attitudes are expressed by his jokes about the men of Pompeii and how women notice the tiniest bit of dirt. This tone allows fun and enjoyment and curiosity in reading this article.
