College is a Waste of Time

Paragraph #3 contains the thesis statement "pillar." The thesis is, "College fails to empower us with the skills necessary to become productive members of today’s global entrepreneurial economy."

Paragraphs #4, and 6 contains the evidence "pillar." In paragraph 4 the author says "College is expensive. The College Board Policy Center found that the cost of public university tuition is about 3.6 times higher today than it was 30 years ago, adjusted for inflation." in paragraph 6 he says "We are the disruptive generation creating the “free agent economy” built by entrepreneurs, creatives, consultants, and small businesses envisioned by Daniel Pink in his book, A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future." 

Paragraph #9 contains the refutation "pillar." In paragraph 9 he anticipates the other sides argument by saying "Of course, some people want a formal education. I do not think everyone should leave college, but I challenge my peers to consider the opportunity cost of going to class."

Paragraph #10 contains the conclusion "pillar." In paragraph 10 he restated the thesis by saying, "We who take our education outside and beyond the classroom understand how actions build a better world. We will change the world regardless of the letters after our names."

The author appeals to his audience in multiple ways. He explains his argument very thoroughly and provides evidence to back it up while using logos, ethos, and pathos. Also, he didn't turn the argument into a one-sided statement or contradiction. So, the audience was able to better relate and understand his argument.

Russia Probe

                                               Sarah Sanders

Sarah uses logos in her arguments due to the facts that she was giving out to the reporter, but she also adds spin to many of her statements. One example could be found at the beginning of the video when she says, "I don't think he felt like he was on the hook, I think he knew all along that the accusations was a huge hoax." This is just the beginning of when she is trying to persuade the audience that the DNS and the Clintons were colluding with the Russians.

Tomi Lahren

Tomi uses pathos and ethos in argument as you can tell by some of the emotionally charged words or phrases she uses such as " I think i speak for both sides when i say we are sick and tired of this corrupt politician wasting our money and time."  She shows her use of ethos by giving Trump credit saying, "Trump won the election fair and square." She uses words and say phrases that include herself in the audience.

Mark Mazzetti

Mark uses logos in his argument just as Sarah Sanders did. He states facts about his argument as well. For example, he said the dossier was not the basis of the FBI investigation. he gives a valid argument and states so verbal proof/evidence to back up his argument.

Matt Apuzzo

Matt uses logos in his argument by stating facts of information that he received form leaked emails about some Russian activities/relations going on with the Trump campaign.
