Assignment #13- Analyzing and Writing Arguments

I analyzed the essay Should The Obama Generation Drop Out.  The writer used a judgmental tone to argue that today's generation does not care about academics, are not top students and do not have the money to afford a four year university. The writer makes a strong argument and provides concrete evidence; however, he makes his audience question their intelligence this causes a great flaw in his essay. In making his audience question their own intelligence the writer ultimately fails to appeal to his audience-who would be wealthy educated people who have already obtained an education. The writer is ultimately making two arguments, his second argument is that employers should consider hiring people with certifications not just people with B.A degrees. This taught me that a trustworthy tone is important, my word choice is also important because it is the ultimate factor that plays into whether.
