ASSIGNMENT ONE REFELCTION:

Introduction of case analysis and rhetorical appeals change the way you read “Waking Up and Taking Charge”?. It changed my whole mindset of reading it because you see how and why the essay was setup as it was. The whole piece was to attract and persuade all college students to make them agree with her arguments. You can see how her appeals are trying to pull you in and lure you into believing what she was saying was 100 percent true. So with that case analysis and rhetorical appeals help me shape on what this essays purpose was.

HW 10/3

From reading the essay the writer reels you in like a fishhook to make you agree with what she is saying throughout the whole article. What really convinced me was the fact that the bush administration did take budget cuts, but they pinned down students to pay for it while we are fighting in student loan debt. It was an unjust move from the government especially the fact they know tuition goes up every single year. So, the argument and the claim got me convinced because we need to be politically intelligent to where we know what is right and wrong from the government. What opened my eyes is that the government is blindsiding students to pay these fees because we are more of an easy target without any of us knowing. So, as I state throughout the paper you will see the evidence that this writer is baiting us to believe in this using great rhetorical appeals.

I believe the rhetorical appeals mainly used in the essay are emotional. Even at the first sentence it is pouring emotion as in words like “we”, “I”, and “you”. Then personally talking about her experience at Yale and what happened or had seen throughout her time there. Another reason she uses is reason. She states a lot of facts and background on what she is speaking on and logical answers or solutions towards her argument. As she tries to use as much clear evidence as possible you see where she is steering off and going back to an emotional appeal to make everything she is trying to put in our minds more dramatic. As I read it multiple times it came to notice that she just wants you to be on her side her manipulation in this piece is so strong if I only read it once I would still be on her side with no doubt.

If I wanted to tell somebody about this essay I would say strongly read it to get a bigger sense of school and government. Especially if you are a student in debt to get more insight where your money is going and why it is so expensive. If you really do not want to pay large amounts, the writer of this piece is wanting us to be involved and do something to convey the government to make a change. This essay is a very strong evidential piece that could be crucial information to making a change and lowering the tuition. As I say strong evidential the only thing is she was not thorough with the evidence she had at hand, so do not rely on this piece for getting your full knowledge on school tuition and the government. Even though she is saying to start movements or pacs, but at the end of the day she is helping us by just informing on the whole basis of why we have debt, what is making it more expensive, and why. Lastly, be mindful and aware of this essay because it could sneak up on you where she lurers you in to her own opinion whether than on stats and facts.

Have the government make budget cuts that make tuition cheaper and give people in America the now American dream. With college as becoming an necessity in life for most, the federal government is taking it away from so many people because of how high tuition is and the risk of going in debt for a long time people sway away from it. If all of the people in congress, students, and people who are for college and want it cheaper stand up and make a change. I do support with a fair amount of what the author says, but I believe this essay is not strong enough to get the bigger sense of this issue. This essay is a starting point to what will dig us deeper to seeing what the government and schooling should actually do with the debt of tuition. As I said in the beginning of my conclusion bring back the American Dream.

Have the government make budget cuts that make tuition cheaper and give people in America the now American dream.

HW 9/17

My overall opinion towards the pieces is that yes, the tuition is too much for students like me today. At the end of they day the government needs to cut budgets for students and focus on what is important within our country, the American dream for everybody.

CL 9/17

The shared topic is that schools these days are too expensive and almost as in a waste of money. Too many students in debt. The solutions differ because the standpoint from the ponzi scheme is more of a personal reasoning to why college is really expensive and he did say trade school is worth it more than college itself. Also, to the fact that the government should not take student loans anymore to lessen the tuition each year for colleges. The waking up and take charge solution was to see what other students had to say, and just in general cut the overall budget, but by being politically involved as a young adult we can make that happen. Start Pacs to get the governments attention to make a change in the pricing of college.

Claim: College is becoming too expensive without a reasonable financial plan students are suffering in debt, or not even going to college.

REASON Students have been spending money on governments budget cuts and fees.

WARRANT: Author of the essay already thinks that readers believe tuition is too high.

EVIDENCE: The Bush administration passed it on to student aid with $15 billion in cuts and fees, new fees to be exact for students to pay.

COUNTERARGUMENT: Our national debt is too high and we need budget cuts for inflation.

REBUTTAL: Make appropriate budget cuts, and the cut in tuition is necessary since education is functional societies and refulfills the now American dream.

CL 9/12

The rhetorical appeal is using a lot of reason because he is bringing a lot of logic towards the piece so his logical cogency is through specified evidence by the numbers.

“Back in the day, a college diploma truly meant something.” pg 402 paragraph 2

there is also a personal appeal where he talks about his time in college and how cheap it was “When I attended Tulane room and board was $2,500 now it is up to $60,000.” pg 403 paragraph 3
