1. ARGUMENT/ENTHYMEME – There really was no argument but... one that could be taken from the article is... Affirmative action should be not determine who is accepted into schools or who should be hired because affirmative action is the cause of what it is trying to prevent: racial discrimination.
2. AUDIENCE – There is really nothing to go off of to determine the audience except for the word choice and the sources used. A lot of different court cases and decisions were cited, so the article was obviously directed more toward adults, probably professionals of some kind with lots a great amount of influence.
3. GOAL – The goal of this source is to mostly analyze/inform their audience of the effects of affirmative action on k-12 education and introduce the idea of it needing to be removed before 2028.
4. HOW THE ARGUMENT IS MADE - ethos, pathos, logos; sufficient, typical, accurate, relevant...
Logos & Sufficient - In order to make a logical argument, the authors had to take from a sufficient amount of sources, from both sides of the argument. Because they addressed both sides, but didn't take a side, it was clear to say that they were just putting information in one place for others to see and then gain their own opinion.
5. WAS THE ARTICLE EFFECTIVE – The article took from many different sources. I felt like they weren't trying to persuade me of anything (obviously if they were, they failed...) So i think the fact that they put a bunch of information in one place, it was very helpful and informative.
