In this article the author Rebecca J. Rosen talks about a site about pencils; her main point is to inform abot this site and make the readers interested in this new subject. . She quotes Johnny Gamber the creator of that site that started out writing about pencils 7 years ago. Gamber started out just wanting to know how people would react to pencils. He says that it's simplicity attracts people, but still being so simple it is made with a lot of precision. Gamber says that the joy of the pencil is its physical experience; to sharpen and write wit them. Rosen goes on explainin 10 points which Gamber explores in his site and explaining how it all started out in a very clear and dynamic way.
One of the best things about this site is its dynamicness. When the author is able to share an idea in a short but simple manner; this attacts the reader and hold their attention for a longer time. She wrote part of her essay in bulletpoints making it very easy to understand. Rosen quotes Gamber, the creator of the site a lot making her essay more credible and also more interesting to read. The quotes are effective becasue they make the reader understand how Gamber views his own work and not through Rosen's eyes. In summary, this esay was effetive becasue it supported its thesis which was to provide the basic information about this pencil site and make readers interested in accesing it.
