Harris is pretty unclear about what he actually means by
“taking an approach,” but from what I can best assume he defines it as changing
a way of thinking to not necessarily rewrite a text of an author like one would
in forwarding/countering but to redesign a broader style that the writer uses
in their thought process. He also says it takes a long time to master so bear
with me on this next part for I am only a novice.
One of the authors at Grantland wrote a piece Leave Jeremy Lin Alone. He didn’t mean
it in the way that we should stop following the Asian sensation that New York
has come to love. He meant it in the way that he wishes America could just step
back and appreciate Lin for what he is, a basketball player. I believe he takes
an approach In relation to Jeremy Lin by changing the way he looks at him. He starts
the piece out with saying he has no take on this situation, which I find hard
to believe seeing as he's a writer for a sports blog. Then he goes into detail
about how America can’t get past the fact that he’s Asian and doing so well, it’s
like no one thought it to be possible. The taking an approach aspect of this
post is shifting views from the fact that there are very few Asians playing professional
basketball to the fact that hidden talent pop up in funny places. Also that we
(being America) need to stop making people into things they are not. Jeremy Lin
is just a basketball player, and is very early in his career. How will we know
what he is actually going to become?
