1. I think that Baker wanted every type of student to be represented in this essay so he wrote about many different types that most people think about like the jock, the bookworm, the music and art major. He used what most people could relate themselves to. Baker’s tone and language was funny, but he also made is essay more realistic.
2. I think Baker’s classifications of the students are very fair. Yes there are many different kinds of people in the world, but I think that Baker used just about all the stereotypes that students are put into. He used many stereotypes such as the jock, the performer, the egghead, the worker ant, the lost soul, and the partier. When I think about college students all of these come to mind.
3. I don’t think much has changed since 1982, because all of the classifications have held true to this day. There may be some modifications to make it more 2010, but he named stereotypes that I think will be around a long time. I also think that this is true for the students at USI just because I could look around in a classroom and see just a few of the classifications that Baker wrote about.
