- he’s mainly using his character against big colleges by bashing them with numbers. He believes that most colleges are setting people up for failure by putting them in crippling debt and not providing a place for people to find jobs.
2. He’s using persuasion by making “normal college” seem like it’s setting you up for failure in your life. He is also trying hard to push people into more trades by saying that you’re not going to be in as much debt and you can get a decent job
3. yes I can see him as a reasonable reasoner. He is a person who isn’t very fond of spending money and he’s able to set up this argument that “better” colleges set you up for failure based on the student debt that they put you in
4. Yes I would trust archer, he provides a very good detailed solution to big colleges by going into trade schools
- They’re both talking about college debt and possible solutions
- Old people ruling over the younger generation and to stop this is by joining a pact in kamentz story and in archers story, he recommends going to trade school or not going at all
- She seems really well informed on what she’s talking about because she’s an educational correspondent and a writer and researcher who wrote a lot of books on various topics
4. her proposal isn’t too controversial other than the beginning portion where she says old dudes rule the young basically and “it’s the only way”
5. I feel like the people who would agree with her are more of the you must go to college and get a degree type of people
6. colleges wouldn’t agree with this because it’s taking away money from them
7. she’s claiming that the old people of our government are trying to rule over the youth and what comes with this is of course college pricing. She proposes a solution by saying that “young people urgently need a strong national generational movement”
8. I think, she really tries to get people to contact their emotional side when reading this. This is because she adds in politics into the reading and also includes the sit in at Yale where 15 students did a sit in and had to be removed by police. and obviously with the way police is portrayed in the media today that can spark some emotional responses today.
9. She’s trying to persuade more people to speak their minds. She’s trying to get people ready to take action as a group vs as an individual. She also says that student movements should be regulated state by state in order to pressure the governors into making positive changes for public schools.
10. Yes, she does a really good job at being a reasonable thinker. In the beginning she lists all these facts and backs them up with details and she knows what she’s talking about and at the end she also addresses the other side of the claim that makes her open to criticism thus making her a pretty good reasonable thinker.
