- College degree value has gone down because more and more people are going to college and receiving them. Students can determine if their degree will pay off by weighing the total cost of college and how much debt they will be in afterwards, by how much money they could make with the degree if they can find a job.
- The author uses character as a form of appeal on page 403 paragraph 1 when he talked about when he was in a university.
- The author uses reason as a form of appeal on pg. 404 paragraph 3 when he talked about young adults not being prepared for the real world and how times have changed and we need to prepare these young adults for the real world.
- The author’s aim of argument he uses is persuading because he wants to inspire change and action. He wants young adults to really consider the path they will take for education and wants to call the government and colleges to take the steps need for more affordable education. He tries to steer young adults away from college and toward other more affordable education like trade schools.
- I would say that the author is not a reasonable reasoner solely because he seems like he is not open to criticism from others. All other points he meets. He is well informed, argues with the audience in mind, and he knows the arguments context.
