Uddrag
The primary receiver that the article tries to hit is the American public, as he describes the reader as "we" throughout the text. He wants the American people to understand that it is a big problem for immigrants to be treated unfairly.
The article has been made public on an American website “The Nation”, where the article has the opportunity to reach out to more people in the American population.
Powell Has Written the Article in Formal Style, Which Can Be Seen in the Many Formal Words He Chooses to Make Use of, Which Among Ex. "Unheralded" (L. 5) and "Bigotry" (L. 44).
In addition, the formal style is also shown by his use of complex sentence structure, where he uses long sentences to show his opinions and ideas.
Powell uses the complex sentence structure to provide a better connection between his ideas and his opinions, it makes the reader perceive him more reliably, it can be seen, for example, in the text (ll. 59-62).
