Haydar Strategy
One strategy Haydar uses successfully in
her article, “Veiled Intentions”, is her use of commonplaces. Haydar is able to
level with her audience by taking what many perceive, when is comes to
stereotypes, and exerting this to strengthen her argument. For instance, Haydar
believes that many people think that Muslim girls are not into masculine things
or activities. She proves this stereotype wrong by telling her audience that
she is into skateboarding and heavy metal music. She uses this commonplace to
her advantage to prove that there is more under the veil than many people may
perceive.
