Assignment #13 Analyzing and writing arguments.

I analyzed Charles Murray's essay "Should the Obama Generation Drop Out."
 Murray used a tone is his article that showed passion and belief to what he was saying. I think having a tone that shows passion gives the reader believability and a sense of truth as to what the author is saying. A reader can appreciate the argument that much more when it's is written in that tone. Secondly, Murray does a good job of giving background information about the topic, which allowed the reader to have more understanding and makes an argument that much more efficient. Murray talks about Who is going to college and why students are dissuaded from school. The reader now has sufficient understanding of the argument the writer is going to make. Lastly, Murray has good basses for making his argument because their is an emotional component making his argument stronger. He talks about students not having meens to pay for college or the right role models helping a student make a discussion to go to school. They still deserve to put bread on their tables. Emotion makes the reader more interested in the argument and it gives reader a better and more meaningful appreciation. I think I will want to incorporate the use of emotion in to my argument to better aid the reader to fully appreciate my point of view.
