Who names their kid Gunther?
This article was back to the old boring style, but the author still manages to make some excellent points. Gunther makes several interesting observations and tries to redefine genre. While my perception of genre remains relatively unchanged, it is easy to see where Gunther is coming from. The genres are defined by the joining of different modes(of media). He is quite outspoken about the subject to the point where he seems to rant but at least has the sense to give a clear call to action. Gunther informs the audience that his analysis can benefit the education system and future generations. While many writers or their pieces fail to impress or even attempt to impress an idea upon a person, Gunther is able to succeed on this regard. This may seem unimportant, but the fact that I can remember what he is trying to achieve is better than a piece that fades into my memory.
