Craft and Structure: What is the writer's point of view regarding Weaver's choice
to read the Cliffs Notes rather than the actual novel? How do you know?

The writer was satirical of Weaver's choice to read the Cliffs Notes rather than the actual novel, and implied that she was lazy in doing so.

I know this because the writer was also critical in the article, and attempted to showcase how a lack of competence can come with taking the shortcut with a task that deserves an actual attempt.

Explanation:

The Onion's article, "Girl Moved to Tears by Of Mice and Men Cliffs Notes" explains the reaction and reasoning behind Grace Weaver and her choice to read the Cliffs Notes version of Of Mice and Men over the original novel.

The writer was satirical of Weaver's choice in reading the Cliff Notes by emphasising the literary relevance of the book and how short it was, evidenced by the lines "the most skillful example of American naturalism under 110 pages" and "Weaver's choice to read the Cliffs Notes instead of the pocket-sized novel", which made Weaver's choice to appear all the more incompetent.

1. read the following excerpt from franklin d. roosevelt's "fireside chat 19":

on the other side of the picture, we must learn also to know that guerilla warfare against the germans in, let us say serbia or norway, us; that a successful russian offensive against the germans us; and that british successes on land or sea in any part of the world strengthen our hands.

remember always that germany and italy, regardless of any formal declaration of war, consider themselves at war with the united states at this moment just as much as they consider themselves at war with britain or russia. and germany puts all the other republics of the americas into the same category of enemies. the people of our sister republics of this hemisphere can be honored by that fact.  

the true goal we seek is far above and beyond the ugly field of battle. when we resort to force, as now we must, we are determined that this force shall be directed toward ultimate good as well as against immediate evil. we americans are not destroyers — we are builders.
