      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.
    • Billy Gerchick
       
      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.

  • It's not easy being Green. And it's also not especially smart.

      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.

Are Sports More Important than School? | Extreme Biology Blog - 0 views

  • 75% of parents let their child skip an exam for an important game, and only 47% of musicians’ parents would let them skip an exam for a concert or performance.
  • Also, the all-star players said the schools help give them extended deadlines for essays, homework, reports, etc., while the musicians only had 44% and the sport leagues 33%. In addition, 63% of all-stars said the schools helped them with tutoring sessions, while those in sport leagues had 11% and only 8% musicians.
  • After those facts, it is no surprise that the principals interviewed said,” Sports is one of the most popular interests in the school. This can be seen by the fact that the athletes’ needs are met through designing special programs, consideration of their needs, consideration of their teachers, competitions and placing the school athletics program high on our list of priorities
  •  
    From a studies shown in this article that special rewards were given to those who played sports compared to those who played instrument's just to show the difference. Placing school athletics high on their list of priorities.

Alabama Cancels Classes, Proves Football More Important Than Education - Yahoo! Voices ... - 0 views

  • It seems that Alabama is making a pretty big statement by canceling classes, and it is that football is much more important than the classes being taught at the university.
  • Alabama decided to cancel classes starting on Wednesday, January 6th until Friday, January 8th in order to allow more fans to make their way out to California.
  •  
    This article is prime example of how a school (Alabama) cares more about football than school by canceling classes so students could go support their team in the national championship In California. So for the students that are there for an education have to now have a more bunched up learning schedule until finals.

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

  • 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.
  •  
    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.

Jonah Lehrer on concussions in adolescents and the future of football - Grantland - 1 views

  • A 2004 study, meanwhile, revealed that football players with multiple concussions were 7.7 times more likely to experience a "major drop in memory performance"
  • What's most disturbing, perhaps, is that these cognitive deficits have a real-world impact: When compared with similar students without a history of concussions, athletes with two or more brain injuries demonstrate statistically significant lower grade-point averages.
  •  
    This article explains how concussions effect high school players presently, and later on in life. Most of all it shows that players with concussions have lower grade-point averages.
