Where are my statements likely to offend them? What objections are they likely to bring up in relation to what I have said about them? How can I keep from alienating them? Among your readers and especially your classmates, you will find the uninformed reader, the reluctant reader and the resistant reader and take note that your teacher will assume the roles of these three readers.
