ANSWER:
In response to the essay by Scott Russel Sanders, “the belief that movement is inherently good” (Sanders). The genre is this essay is an opinionated essay throughout the essay he haves a natural tone against Rushdie even towards the end. He claims that we should root ourselves in places rather than ideas, that we should care for the earth rather than our own selfish desires. In quoting Rushdie directly and repeating his words and syntax, Sanders not only assures the reader of his careful thoughtfulness on the issue but also states his own belief that moving does nothing to rid us of the unfortunate aspects of the humanity of which we all wish to be free. Sanders and Rushdie have agreement and disagreement quotes that they want to share with others, but maybe more to themselves. But still, there is no argument in this essay, and is still respectful. The audience is for all people, as one that we all should hold as a fundamental belief of society. How can one create a new relationship with the world when they are constantly altering their place in it? The gradual movement from agreement to complete disagreement reinforces Sander’s point and respectfully refutes Rishdie’s point consequently. Yet he is still respectful towards Rushdie and admits that even though he disagrees completely with him, Rushdie articulated his views “as eloquently as anyone” (Sanders). He finishes by asserting that we must root ourselves to a specific place in order to “pay enough head and respect to where are are” (Sanders).
