Katrina Onstad Created a well developed argument about the nature of the weekend and how people have destroyed it. She uses conversational tone as well as a unified diction to connect with her audience. Onstad targets people who run against time and make it their enemy. Throughout her writing Onstad uses words such as "us" and "we" to unite herself to the readers and make them feel less singled out from the accusations being thrown about in the article. She talks about how people have ruined the weekend but she subtly acknowledges that she is apart of that by using the inclusive words. She executes a wide array of appeals, switching between logos, ethos and, pathos, effectively creating a well-rounded argument. By using a mixture of facts and statistics from major companies such as Ford, and direct quotes from economists like John Kenneth Galbraith, Onstad has outdone herself in the area of defending her claims. Her writing is well developed changing from the outlying issue to the reasons that started the claim. Her main goal is to educate the people who chase time and "ruin weekends" in how they are doing that so that maybe they can change their ways.
