Paragraph 1: thesis
"I believe higher education is broken."
Paragraph 4:
"....Roksa say that 36 percent of college students showed no improvement in critical thinking."
Paragraph 6:
"We are the disruptive generation creating the "free agent economy" built by entrepreneurs, creative, consultants, and small businesses envisioned by Daniel Park in his book, A Whole New Mind: Why Right Brainers Will Rule the Future."
Paragraph 8:
"A major function of college is to signal to potential employers that one is qualified to work."
The conclusion is in paragraph 10 stating that people who don't go to college are low lives with no strive to better themselves and further their education.Refutation is used in the 9th paragraph and he states how he encourages his peers to take the opportunity to take classes. He says if you want to go into the medical field you should go into school to learn more about it.
The author appeals to his audience as trying to tell them what's best for them. Throughout the article they say how they encourage people to consider other paths other than college. He gives examples with people in college and people who aren't. He states that if you aren't in college you can be just as smart as someone in college its what you do with being smart is what makes you successful.
Kirsten I completely agree with your thesis, evidence, refutation, and conclusion. Our appeals are very similar, now we both believe college is not for everyone and not everyone needs to be a college garduate to become successful. Be sure to explain more ways he appeals within the audience not just based off of not being educated enough. For example people who do not need college will end up saving more money in the long run. Good job to us on agreeing with the four pillars in the argument!
