Justin Solomon on 03 Feb 12Reyes, Raul. "Latinos need help to end 'dropout crisis'." USA Today 19 Mar. 2010: 11A. Gale Opposing Viewpoints In Context. Web. 24 Nov. 2010. Paul Reyes, in the article "Latinos need help to end 'dropout crisis'" (2010), explains that President Obama isn't helping Latino youth enough to graduate high school. Reyes supports his explanation through the recognition of statistics that show Hispanics have a tougher time getting their diploma for a number of reasons; including having to work at a young age and racial biases. The author's purpose is to point out that not enough is being done to aid Hispanic youth in finishing high school and finally correct an ongoing problem that has plagued the Hispanic community for years. The author writes in a semi-formal tone, but is still aimed at adults. This article was helpful because the entire article was targeted at the Hispanic community. This is useful because a part of my paper will focus on minorities. This article was biased to the side that the government should send more aid to Hispanics so they can get an education. This information will be incorporated to add support for reasons why minorities battle with low graduation rates. This helps shape my argument, just like the author's opinion, that minorities will need additional funding to be successful.
