**Extra Credit**

Consider the following questions.
1. How well does the author utilize ethos, logos, and pathos? Does the article appeal to people's emotions (pathos)but fails to provide evidence (logos) for their claim? Or does the writer lack the credibility to discuss the topic and fails to provide support from people who do(ethos)? Maybe the article is well reasoned (logos) but offensive to its readers (pathos).
2. Look at the evidence they provide to support their argument. Is their logic sound? Does it contain any logical fallacies?
3. How fair is the argument? Does the author address opposing viewpoints?
