  An article was written by Gov. Doug Ducey talking about how Arizona needs more college graduates.  Automatically in his intro, he establishes credibility as a governor, as a husband, and father, that he understands how important education is to each and every college student in Arizona.  He also utilizes pathos by empathizing with parents that getting a college degree is hard, but with his solution, he will help all college students economically.  Also, throughout the article, he establishes logos by utilizing statistics such as how many have a college degree, how many Arizonians have a job, etc.  Gov. Doug Ducey just does a great job of using these three essential rhetorical tools to get his point across. As a student, I think it's great that Gov. Doug Ducey is going to fund universities $38 million for resources.  I feel like as a student, it's important to be up-to-date on textbooks and also new technological advances such as better projectors, or may...

 So last weekend I went on a trip to Las Vegas.  Now keep in mind this was my first time going to Las Vegas so I really don't know what to expect other than a lot of casinos.  Well first thing is first, Nevada looks a lot like Arizona.  I didn't feel really amazed at first because it was really another dessert, and Las Vegas happened to be in the middle of nowhere.   As soon as I arrived in Las Vegas with my family, we stayed in the Flamingo Hotel.  It was an average hotel, not too fancy but then again not too disgusting.  Anyways, they had FLAMINGOS IN THE HOTEL!  I never saw flamingos so getting a chance to see them was really cool, although I forgot to take a picture of them.   The best part of the trip was walking down the strip at night and seeing all the lights from all the buildings, but what I found to be the coolest thing in Las Vegas was visiting the Strat Hotel .  It was so cool because me and my mom went to the very...

  So far I made a huge change in my schedule this semester of college.  With a new schedule comes new struggles but also some free time for yourself.  After a busy first semester of college, I decided to spend more time on myself.  Recently, I've been starting to hike a lot this semester.  After a long day of classes, I always wanted to do something that could release my stress but back then, I never found something that I thoroughly enjoyed.  That's when I came across hiking and I realized hiking has the best of two worlds.  Not only is it a good workout, but walking a trail while watching the scenery is what makes hiking really fun.  Just being able to see nature at its finest.  Seeing the view of the city and especially the sunsets is really the reason why I enjoy hiking.  Anyways, hiking has been helping me maintain my fitness and reducing my stress.  After each hike, I feel like I can take on anything like I acquire more motiva...

 There's an article  about whether or not college athletes should be paid.  Written by   Mark J. Drozdowski, Ed.D. , he goes over some of the reasons why college athletes should be paid and some reasons why college athletes shouldn't be paid.  Throughout the whole article, he is more towards the side that college athletes should be paid.  He utilizes logos in his piece by mentioning all the money the colleges make and why they haven't been using this money to pay their athletes.  He also provides percentages on how many student-athletes even receive a full scholarship which is only 1%.  He establishes his ethos by mentioning both sides of the argument and the weaknesses in his argument.  He knows that what he is saying has a limit.  Lastly, he utilizes pathos by empathizing with college athletes that are suffering financially.  He recognizes that college athletes have it hard and using diction such as "opposed" and "aren't guarantee...
