Arguments

The essay that I covered was "The $78 Million Bag". In this essay the writers try to appeal to the readers through the use of marijuana. They write about how what most people have done last night which tries to ease tension on the subject as well as appeal to the reader. Along with this is a tone that is lighter then what would be expected from a serious subject. Another thing I noticed with the essay is that there are a lot of statistics. The statistics all come from other sources and are used to put together this $78 million. The use of statistics being incorporated into the whole paper gives the writers credibility which helps support their argument because they are more believable. The third thing I noticed in this analysis is that the argument of this essay is not so clear and is open to interpretation. I think this is important because that way when you are arguing in your own essay then  there is a lot to talk about. If the argument was so pin point then it would be very hard to argue for because the evidence and everything else needed for a good argument is not there.
