Robert D. King, author of "Should English Be the Law," has a purpose to his audience to compare our official language of the United States to other national countries debating on their language to unify oneself. Robert's attitude is strict and concerned with the agreement of unifying a nation by a language. His background involves writing many articles based on languages. He is a professor at University of Texas at Austin and also has a Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin. His purpose to his audience in academic journals is to persuade the reader that the language does not unify a nation because of their "unique otherness." His text is smaller than 12 font. Readers of the article should have an attitude to focus on his article to comprehend a better understanding of language unity. The audience's feedback will help his article and main points get across to society to comprehend his idea. His tools to make the text was a computer to print out the text.

You did an extremely good job on this post. The language you use is great, and it really makes me want to go and read this article. From what I understand the author, Robert King, is a very intelligent man and does a highly good job explaining his point.
