4. Briefly explain how your public argument doesn’t simply restate information from other sources, but provides original context and insight into the situation:
I avoided commentary on the article in question. I simply referred to any relevant information about the issue in quotations or added any previous information in order to support my claim. Most of the article was based on my personal opinion on the issue, which I then supported be referring to outside authors.
5. Identify the specific rhetorical appeals you believe you've employed n your public argument below:
