My old controlling purpose is:

He used a variety of techniques to support his point that “strategic amnesia” should be adopted in American literature as a new style of American literature in the rest of 20th century.

My Current controlling purpose is:

At least to me very sensible, that he is continuously suggesting for his readers to use the strategic amnesia to be free from the shame caused by the forgetting in the information age with his thorough analysis of the mechanism that the forgetting results in shame and with the proof of how powerful the strategic amnesia works in many literal narrative forms in response to the shame.

New introduction:

Charles Baxter’s “Shame and Forgetting in the Information Age” seems to me very interesting piece of writing in terms of its variety of equipments to make its audience attracted to think about what will be really necessary for this age. Especially, the composition of his writing adds some extent of complexity on his essay in regard with his true purpose for this. However, after several times focused and attentive reading it, finally you would experience the feeling that slight light flash deeply shot through from your head to the heart. At the last sentence, “All the computers in the world cannot remedy it.” (Baxter, p.157) will lead you to the track you might have missed on the course of reading, which finally takes to the door, the purpose of this writing, at least to me very sensible, that he is continuously suggesting for his readers to use the strategic amnesia to be free from the shame caused by the forgetting in the information age with his thorough analysis of the mechanism that the forgetting results in shame and with the proof of how powerful the strategic amnesia works in many literal narrative forms in response to the shame.
