The Case Againts Chores

Working at the stable changed Smiley`s beliefs about chores. She describes this experience after she stated her views on chores. If she had described this some place else within the essay for example at the beginning, then the point of the experience would be lost. To support her argument she states that "this teaches the child lesson of alienated labor, not to love the work but to get it over with" I do think that , her evidence and reasons are somewhat authoratative. I think smiley`s intended audience are parents who forces their kids to do chores. Smiley uses rhetorical questions to emphasize that giving children chores to do isnt necessary. I really dont think these questions are logical, I really dont think her whole perspective on giving children chores to do is logical but everyone is entitled to their oppinion.
