Paper A RA

The argument for this particular paper is geared toward current high school students, who are working a part time job. The argument is that if they don't work at all in high school, they will be able to get into a better college, and ultimately have better college success. My goal was to convince my target audience to quite the jobs they are working right now, and to focus more on the academic side of their lives. We made the argument in terms of scholarships, paying for college, and getting accepted. If the high school students were to focus completely on academics, they could solve the expense issue by receiving scholarships. If they were able to achieve those good grades while getting involved in other extracurricular activities, they are more likely to get into a good school, and hopefully get a scholarship to pay for this good school. The argument is made mostly by ethos or authority, and logos or logic. It is made by authority because the paper is supported by sources and studies that show the benefits of focusing strictly on school and extracurricular activities. It is made by logic because we focused the entire paper on the logic behind doing it our way, and by not working in high school. I believe it was relevant- it was a specific point that was specifically geared toward our audience. It was accurate, and typical. I don't believe it was quite sufficient, however. I feel like we weren't able to go as in depth or specific as we could've, based on how long the paper was and the information we had. There could've been more information to make it more sufficient. I believe that it was effective for our audience as well. I worked all through high school, and I can definitely see the benefit of focusing strictly on academic and extracurricular activities.
