Problem
A. Why do you think Paulin refers to "overweight" people as "fat"? What is the effect of his word on readers?
B. Paulin uses written sources to support her argument. In some places she directly quotes the sources: in other she paraphrases or summarizes (that is, she puts what the sources says in her own words). Find an example of each (quote, paraphrase, summary). How do you know the information is from a source? Does paulin make that clear? Notice how paulin introduces the information and punctuates it.
C. How is weight a public issue?
D. Why should or shouldn't comedians refrain from making fat jokes specific individuals?
