Before I can choose which school is right for me, I must decide whether I would like to live at…

uses several strategies to appeal to her reader’s emotions. The first strategy Whelan uses is putting the words of a student in her argument. This strategy involves the words of a first-year student describing his motivation.

However, attending to a university or technical school could be…
