Then he uses statistics to indicate a decline in teenage summer employment, which implies that these familiar jobs and skills are going away for teens.

Ben Sasse uses personal experience, other people such as his wife and daughter's experience, and his own opinion. These experiences are mostly first-hand, causing the readers to trust his word and build a trust bond between him and the readers. He gives more of a persuasive way to explain the decrease in teenage summer jobs.

Thompson P4

thompson paragraph 7

2023-12-01 18:02:20 UTC

Sasse

2023-12-01 18:04:24 UTC

Ben Sasse entire article was persuasive writing, he uses personal experience as his way to persuade you into seeing his way on this topic. He uses emotions like saying he is worried about the children and when they leave home fully as a way to show he want to help the next generation, he is trying to persuade you into believing just like him that he is doing good. He also has another persuasive element by using his daughters expericances, trying to prove that summer jobs help expend the next generations comfortability with different things.

Sasse Reasoning P3

2023-12-01 18:05:03 UTC

Saase compares what kids did in the past and what a lot of teens do in the present. This is to show how different teens have become over the years by not working and laying back and becoming lazy instead of working a summer job.

Sasse P4

2023-12-01 18:05:42 UTC

Sasse asks his audience, "That was our summer vacation. What do our kids do today?" This encourages the audience to consider how teens worked in the past, to care about the decrease in teen labor, and to wonder what is causing it. This makes readers more receptive to information and makes them likely to believe that there are reasons other than teen laziness at fault.
