"So What, Who Cares"

After looking over my paper and thinking of ways it could be argumentative, I could basically write about what the positives are about the park, as well as the negatives. My readers would read my paper and think about my wrongs and rights in my piece. People should care about my place because it's part of where I live and there are many other people who live in Louisville and know about the park. It's a part of us and they should be able to know more about it. I have learned that there are many people who enjoy going there to get some exercise or to participate in the activities. Also, the land was once owned by a mental hospital and was named after Erbon Powers Sawyer who passed away in a car accident on September 23, 1969. I believe it affects anyone who goes to the park and works there. Anyone who cares about it and would like to keep it around. It affects them because they are apart of the park, they should know about it's history and where it came from. They should know when it started and what it was before it was a park for them to enjoy. I think it would help my determine my audience by figuring out who it would affect the most. My audience would be anyone who enjoys parks, especially parks in Louisville and Kentucky. Also, the people who spend a lot of time at the park, they can read my piece and maybe learn something a little more about it that they didn't know before. That way, they can look at the park in a different aspect and maybe appreciate it more. 

Exercise #2
My point here- that Tom Sawyer Park- should interest those who care about our local parks. Beyond this limited audience, however, my point should speak to anyone who cares the larger issue of knowing the history of it and wanting to keep it alive.
