Hosts and Tips

The proposal argument given about hosts and tips was effective. Laurel Wilson addresses the problem, a solution, and justifies herself professionally. She is definitely aware of her audience and this is shown by how forthcoming she is in the tone and voiced used. Wilson has a clear purpose of her letter to the CEO of Stone’s End restaurant. I thought it was effective in that, she was aware in her choice of ‘pathos’ and ‘ethos’. Wilson showed she cared about the company and said that if they tipped their hostess 1% of tips given to severs, it would reduce the turnover rate. She states that the company would have better employees if the business was more competitive. Wilson also looked into other companies, which I feel makes her argument very strong. She gives more than one solution to have better hostesses – tips and a clothing allowance. Wilson looks at the problem from different angles and justifies herself professionally and accordingly.
