In his presentation at the Web 2.0 conference  https://livinginliminality.files.wordpress.com/2008/09/gin.pdf (Links to an external site.)in April 2008, Clay Shirky prominently deploys both analogies and anecdotes to make his points.  He starts with an implied analogy between gin in 18th century England and TV sitcoms in 20th century U.S.   What point does this analogy lead to, and how does his reasoning get from gin to that point?  And how does that point then lead to the main point or thesis of his essay?  Following the guidelines and rubric for these reading response assignments, compose a short essay in which you explain the rhetorical function of Shirky’s opening analogy and how it works to help support his over all thesis by tracing the reasoning that follows his attention grabbing opening to his main idea.
