The author’s original questions could have been anything from what the Seminole mascot represented to the people in Florida, or to why the statues and mascot were seen as offensive to some nut not to those of Seminole descent. The purpose of the article is more or less to inform people about the Florida Seminole mascot, and explain why it isn’t offensive to most people, even those who are of Indian descent. The research that the author did was very helpful in proving his point. The author got quotes from important people that the issue concerned. He got a quote from other Florida State students who were of Indian descent, and they didn’t think that it was very offensive. They also got a quote from the Florida governor of Indian affairs, and he thought that it was offensive and outrageous. It shows you that most of the people who think that the Seminole is an offensive mascot are mainly the older people of Indian descent. Most of the younger kids and college students seem to think that it is ok, which is why it is nice that the author wasn’t biased. If they were biased it wouldn’t have been as good of an article because they wouldn’t have had any opposing arguments to oppose their beliefs, and there wouldn’t have been anything to research really.
