"Who's Reading Over Your Shoulder?"

Paper Summary:

This paper examines how Zara Gelsey carefully builds a clear link between watching over your shoulder activity and the Patriot Act in her article "Who's Reading Over Your Shoulder?" The paper discusses the Gelsey's dispassionate stance on the issue and how, although she has the same concerns as everyone else, she has presented them very objectively as to make the argument based more on logic than passion alone.

From the Paper:

"Once the tone has been set, the author delves into the real purpose of the article. The Patriot Act is what the author wants to comment on. She carefully builds a clear link between watching over your shoulder activity and the Patriot Act. The reader is not asked to do the job of linking up since author has done that very well. But it is not exactly the Act itself that is the main issue; it is the activities that are undertaken due to this Act which seem to bother the author. And the main activity discussed in the article is FBI's access into a person's reading interests and activities."
