After reading "No, I Do Not Want to Pet Your Dog," consider the organization of the essay. This essay seems to have a delayed thesis statement, delivered in paragraph 10 when the author says, "But here's my problem: There's now a cultural assumption that everyone must love dogs" (Manjoo 244). What is the author's purpose? Manjoo uses many examples to develop his main ideas, both that people assume we should love their dogs AND that it's problematic. Which of his examples do you feel best serve his purpose, and why? Are there any examples that do not help uphold his purpose and thesis? Explain. As always, make a fully developed paragraph and respond to other learners' ideas as well.
