What image of herself should she project?

The Confirmation:
1. What are the arguments that support her thesis that her audience is most likely to respond to?
A) The education system in the United States today treats the minds of children like bowls to be filled with information. This argument affects the pathos of the audience.

4. What kind of inartistic proofs does her audience respect and respond well to?

What are the possible ways someone can misunderstand her position?
A) She uses fallacies in her argument; they hinder her by proving nothing. One of the fallacies used in this argument is the Either-Or Reasoning fallacy.

A) The larger significance of the argument is in the conclusion. She says, “The future of our world could be shaped by how well our children are prepared for it.” This quote talks about the school system affecting the world, not just anyone’s school. A long range implication from this argument can be found in the last paragraph. The author says, “Learning can be what gives our lives value, but we are cheating our children of that.” She uses pathos primarily to argue her
