This article is organized by topic of the metaphors. It is almost arranged like a text book. There is a heading at the top of each new subject. The metaphor the stuck out at me the most was about the eagle and the artificial bait. I can relate to the feeling of accomplishment, only to be shot down by a stupid error. The thesis of this article was how the writers view themselves. This was not like an argument or persuasion paper, where the thesis is supported by concrete facts. This thesis was supported by flowing metaphors and other literary techniques.  "Good" writers view themselves in a positive, optimistic way, while "bad" writers view themselves negatively or out of control of their situation.
