- waking up and taking charge is a essay by Anya Kamentz and she takes a look at college today and talks about the importance of students coming together and having a voice to get change done. she tells students to form pacs almost like a political party does. she states that this will give them a louder voice and more likely to be heard. I feel that that she does bring up very good arguments that could get the problem solved all that has to happen now is to get the students to follow through which is the hardest part.
- one part of the essay that stood out to me the most is where she talks about how if millions of 65 year olds can come together and get change done in what they are fighting for then why cant we. The next thing is where she talks about the incident at Yale. Only 15 students participated and got nothing done. This all leads back into my thesis that she may have strong encouraging words but its hard to get students to mass up like that. You could say it has to do with lack of time. I think it has to do with fear. I feel more students would go if they saw an already large number there and protesting. no one ones to go out to protest and there only be 15 people. you are more likely to get punished.
- of the four forms of appeal i see three of them being used in this essay. the three i see are reason, character, and emotion. you see reason when she states why she wants people to form PACS and that doing this will bring down tuition. this leads into emotion because as a college student paying for myself. cheaper college sounds like the best thing in the world and i doubt im alone on that. and finally character, for this one all you have to do is look at that authors background and you will see years dedicated to this subject.
