Klass Article

By having the mother in the article, Klass was able to give some insight into the medical discourse community. If the article was just with characters from the inside of medical discourse community (only with Mr.Eponym) then Klass would have limited his audience of readers who could understand the article. Klass’s mother was a way to “dumb down” the medical jargon and make it understandable to those not in the medical field. The ready could defiantly relate to the mother and thereby have a closer connection to the article.
