Austin Texas Schools: Football is more important than education | Cassandra's Tears - 0 views

ENG 102 HW1 Austin Texas football schools

shared by Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12 - No Cached
  • Laying off 1153 people.  On the other hand the athletics department is cutting almost $500,000… from it’s 11.3 MILLION dollar budget.
  • What really sad, is by eliminating athletics, they could immediately save 220 jobs (assuming each of those jobs cost the district $50,000 a year (which it probably does not)).
  • Based on the stipends in the article, they could keep up to 1.3 teachers per coach fired.  That’s probably 10 teachers per high school and 3-5 per middle school.
  • Robert Harrison on 09 Jul 12
     
    This helps state my argument that today for some reason football (Not just football), is more important that education. The examples used in this article is  how Austin Texas schools laid off 1,153 people on the academic side while on the athletic side only $500,000 from it's 11.3 million dollar budget.

      What does this language accomplish?
  • With the Persian Gulf War long over, a Democrat in the Oval Office who's committed to withdrawing from Afghanistan and California taking the lead on fighting carbon pollution and switching to renewable energy, the Greens just don't have any hot-button issues they can use to attract or motivate voters.

      What's the primary appeal? Logos, pathos, or ethos?
  • That might change under a Mitt Romney administration -- and in the unlikely event the Greens could siphon off Democratic votes in large numbers in November, they could inadvertently bring such a disaster about.

      Read this next sentence and describe what the author's use of the word "disaster" does to his ethos.

      Pay attention to the conventions: Why capitalize "Green"? Also, what do you think about the conclusion?
  • California's Green Party should buckle its Birkenstocks and move on

      Evaluate the title. Do you think it's effective? Also, as you read the article, consider the primary and secondary audiences and think about how this impacts them.
  • California's Green Party was born in 1991, during a flurry of liberal outrage against Bush's war -- the first Bush, that is, and his shortlived liberation action for Kuwait. California activists, with memories of Vietnam still floating among their 1THC-dulled synapses , saw the Persian Gulf War as a conflict led by a hated Republican president who was sacrificing American blood for oil -- and a Green movement that had been sputtering before war was declared suddenly took root. More antiwar and pro-environment than the Democratic Party at the time, it was, for a while, a fashionable protest party for the crunchy-granola set .

      This functions as a lead, but it also "frames" the issue, essential background information on the subject.
  • But the sprout never really blossomed.

      Note how this transitions to the next idea and implies author tone towards the subject.
