Budget cuts and inadequate early education for students provide disadvantages for those who have access to higher education. Students are not given the full opportunity to succeed because their circumstances and the educational system are quite burdensome.]]> 2021-04-29 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888072 jziegler22 https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888075 Personification: "As I have gotten to know these students, the numbers have come alive" (Rose 7). This quote shows the extent that students are impacted by lack of health care, unemployment, and other societal burdens. 
Juxtaposition: "And all the while, more people are trying to enroll at the college... those who are admitted will tax an already burdened system" (Rose 9). While the college provides a benefit to the students, due to the lack of resources, the students provide a negative toll to the college]]> 2021-04-29 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888075 jziegler22 https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888077 "Hope and desire are brimming."

"Many, the young ones included, have health problems that are inadequately treated if treated at all."

Where does he personalize his argument, and what is the effect?

Rose explains, as a person who works with these students, the noticeable trouble these kids go through. He notices their limp, which exposes their access to health care, he understands the problem with diminished availability of support systems, and he sees the impression classes have made on these students and how much they care about what they are learning because it is new and inspiring to them.]]> 2021-04-29 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888080 jziegler22 https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888090 In the last 50 years there has been no increase in opportunity or easier education access for lower income or impoverished people.

How does he structure this opening unit?

Rose structures the opening of his paper with a rhetorical question as a form of suspense and a way to hook the reader. Then goes on to discuss the multiple things going wrong with our government and it's lack of providing resources to the poor (from an educational standpoint). He goes onto emphasize the "drifting" into a dark hole of American capitalism. Finishing off his introduction with this dramatic appeal. ]]> 2021-04-29 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888100 jziegler22 https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888105 The poor are being ignored, despite the emphasis on progress, and this contributes to their lack of social mobility.

Rose outlines the long-term and menacing effects of these continual budget cuts to be more disadvantageous than beneficial. This short term economic gain will only foster long-term economic division and inequity. He leaves the reader with two final question regarding the future of our education systems- implying that if these cuts continue, we can expect repetition and stagnation of our educational system. ]]> 2021-04-29 17:07:37 UTC https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1474888126 jziegler22 https://padlet.com/jziegler22/4agc36psd67ze6jm/wish/1490097437 In order to truly accomplish a better society, a society of economic excellence and growth, education has to be prioritized: we need provide opportunities for people to transform and explore occupations that are new, in order to stop the opportunity gap from increasing.

Rose's intro paragraph begins with a rhetorical question setting the tone for discussions about the future, and what is needed to create "a society... we want to become".
