2. America should shoot for stars again
The Author stated that NASA space program should not be closed down, instead they should continue what
Neil Armstrong began in the 60’s after his death and continue exploring as technology advances.
In this article they used ethos to draw the reader in because Neil Armstrong, being the first man on the
moon, obviously knows a bit about space travel. Just his name in tis topic helps draw the reader in and
agree with their opinion.
4. Penn State should take a break from
football
The main thesis of the article was that Penn State should shut down their football program for a few years
due to all the penalties after the sex abuse scandal of Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky
It was a logical statement because they listed all of the penalties and fines given to football program. Penn
State is far in debt even before the 2012-2013 season. They used numbers and stats to draw you in and get
you to agree because of all the damage done and fines they have it might be a smart decision.
