His Claim VS. My Claim

Essay: “Antarctic Story: Why Human Beings Like ‘March of the Penguins’”

Central Claim: "main appeal [of movie], by both men and women, was due to what he calls “sexual politics,” or, in other words, the stereotypical motives and ideals of both males and females.

My Claim: "Though specifically focused towards child rearing, a serious issue, he utilizes a humorous and almost sarcastic tone to pose a delightfully casual yet effective argument. "

My Revised Claim: Queenan develops an effective argument, even though he may use a humorous and sarcastic tone, through his text, reader, constraints, and purpose of the article, "Antarctic Sroty: Why Human Beings Like 'March of the Penguins.'"

Conclusion: "Queenan is not concerned with persuading fathers who appreciate responsibilities for their children to think the opposite or to wish themselves a penguin in the next life. He is simply stating another theory why “Human Beings Like ‘March of the Penguins,’” or in other words, that women tend to like movies with selfless and attractive men and men prefer a 'no strings attached relationship' versus a long-term commitment."
