Response to 'A Wrestling Mom'

Mary Kay Blakely 's piece about wrestling really touches on many important issues, such as motherhood and the bond between mother and son as son grows older. Her main claim is that mothers cannot teach their sons everything they need to know, and that children teach their own parents the values of life sometimes.
I found myself thinking that this piece would be easy to analyze because of its profoundness mostly. The author used the extreme bond between mother and son, to mother and teenager, to ease her way into the heads of every mother reader she will encounter. Obviously she can use the fact that she is a mother and has had experience to appeal to her ethos and give her credit. She uses a very logical structure, starting by explaining wrestling to the reader, then goes all the way to explaining why it's so important to both of them (the emotional appeal). I think I could appeal to this well because I can understand where the author is coming from, and because she uses a variety of rhetorical approaches in the rhetorical triangle, such as audience and reader to get her point across effectively.
