In Leonid Friedman's "The Needs Otaku," Friedman always compares ideas and expresses his defense against the way "otaku" is handled using images and rhetorical questions.
Friedman keeps "otaku" by comparing the extremes that people are seen as "otaku" or athlete. In society, "People promised to pursue knowledge are compared to monsters to chew live chickens" (10). This juxtaposition is used to highlight absurd methods in which people pursuing knowledge are treated. Friedman defines a dictionary of good things and expresses his view by showing how extreme it is. He defended "geeks" by pointing out other remarks. At school, "Otaku is excluded, athletes are worshiped" (17-18). People who are intellectually developed are not as valuable as those who show fitness. Friedman said this is for irony, I think that he is more important that geeks are as important as athletes.
The picture written by Friedman shows what people think is a geek. People prefer to "read books instead of football" and prefer to become socially abandoned children (20-21). These images evoke the scenes of nerds and athletes. Friedman said these children will become "socially abandoned children", enjoying the various things they do. Friedman keeps otaku (31-32) by writing an image that "a child with a smart head from a kindergarten to a visit to a grave". In this picture, Friedman likes other things, so it shows what he thinks that these children are being bullied. He defended them by revealing the terrible way of these "geeks." This child's image from 'kindergarten to cemetery' shows the seriousness of the problem and how fast it affects the child.
Friedman finished his argument by using rhetorical questions to further support himself. Friedman wrote: "A country (...) where the typical parents are ashamed of learning mathematics, not dancing for their daughter, competes with Japan for technical competition "47-52) Friedman's defense is expressing this by expressing the importance of otaku in the development of the country. This rhetorical problem emphasizes this importance. He further stated this point in detail, "he states that the US maintains world-class power for a certain period and continues to emphasize social skills and material strengths, academic ability and intelligence" . Friedman shows that unless we change the emphasis on "otaku", the United States can not maintain world class power.
Since Friedman knows the importance of national progress, he keeps "otaku". He defends "otaku" with images, comparisons and rhetorical questions.
In Leonid Friedman's article "The US needs that geek," he tells the general public that it lacks support for people who seek high IQ and knowledge, rather than mandating them . As a result, the US is academically lagging behind other countries. Friedman developed this argument by making a parallel translation structure and its language in this sentence and comparing the people of the society. Friedman's main purpose is to emphasize the misery that most people do not want to be educated in the United States. Throughout the article, Friedman used a small amount of spoken language with strong influence. He will mostly explain most people who do not require education with knowledge and value, mainly through spoken language. In the second paragraph Friedman wrote, "Monster bite chicken alive" (10). This quotes how Americans change the meaning of the word "otaku" to make fun of smart people.
In his compelling article "America needs that otaku," Leonid Friedman tries to persuade the reader that the anti-intellectualism that remains in the United States must be over. Friedman's goal is teacher, student and administrator. In an exaggerated way, he highlighted his anger (frustration) about the disrespect of him suffering "otaku and geek." 4 Article From the introduction of his thesis, Friedman's view is quite obvious. He felt that "intellectual curiosity and academic seriousness" in the United States was considered to be weird, and that only derogatory words were used to explain these groups. To summarize his main point (thesis), he said. Convincing facts "
