The article, “The Top Ten Things I Will MissAbout Rick Perry” written by Cindy Casares, is an article that actually pokes
fun of the governor of Texas, Rick Perry. When you look at the title, one may
think this article is about the praising of the governor for his many years as
governor, (whom he just announced his leaving of office on July 19, 2013). But,
in this article you will find the author jokingly giving actual facts about the
soon to be former governor.
In this article,
the author uses sarcastic humor. Although, the article is funny, it is also quite
informative. I believe anyone who has no idea or clue as to what Rick Perry has
done, or who he is as a person, should read and watch the videos provided in
the article Casares has written. Casares did an extraordinary job at making the argument
that Rick Perry was not fit to be the governor of Texas in the first place.
Although, I would
like to agree with the entire article, one thing that I did not like was the
author’s mocking of Perry’s proclaiming that he’s a Christian. As a Christian
myself, I liked how he was not ashamed to profess his beliefs to the world. One
thing I can agree with the author on though, was the fact that he took his beliefs a little too far,
when he briefly brought up his views in regards to gay people. My belief is
that we should love everyone, and gays should have rights. Other than that, I
believe Casares did an amazing job, on the examining of Rick Perry as a person and governor.
Casares’ targeted audience
I believe is every Texan, young or old. It is targeted to everyone, because
every Texan was affected by this, solely because Rick Perry has been our
governor for over a decade! I also believe Casares did an amazing job at
providing valid and hilarious reasons as to why she and others should be
celebrating the departure of Perry from the governor’s position.
One thing that
should be noted is the credibility of Casares. She is a very credible person.
She has many accomplishments under her belt, which include: being a columnist
for the Texas Observer, editor of a
blog called Guanabee Meida, the holder of a master’s degree, and has even
spent ten years in New York City as an advertising copywriter. With the list of
accomplishments which doesn't seem to cease, I find her to be a very reputable source.
Furthermore, while I find her to be a very intelligent woman, she still offers
readers an easy and understandable view into the world of politics, which I
admire. With her article piece on Rick Perry, she allows any and everyone who
is interested, a chance to be a part of the political world.
