Article Analysis : 'M1 protest: the worst enemy is the cynics'

In the article 'M1 protest: the worst enemy is the cynics' Vivek Subramanian of Glen Waverly, Vic, an M1 protestor, argues in an accepting and intellectual, subdued manor in favour of the protestors. She believes that the 'wild' protestors have a valid point that is missed by many cynical people. Subramanian is upset that someone such as Imre Salusinzsky ("Protesting by numbers", Opinion, 30/4), a coherent and learned person has missed the point of campaigns such as M1 or S11.

Without creating a heated argument she kindly accepts that she has been stereotyped as one of those "crazy kids", as mentioned by Salusinzsky. Subramanian subverts the label by highlighting and accepting that a learned person such as Imre Salusinzsky has labelled them "crazy kids". With a well-structured and strong argument about the issue she leads us to believe that the protestors do have a valid point of view, they're not just the "crazy kids" they're made out to be.
