Entry #3 The Power of Writing

Recently I had to read an article and carefully analyze it in essay form for my CRE101 class. The article is called Should Struggling Students Repeat a Grade. I found it funny how I myself had never thought about that question! The author Julie Williams was able to write this article and present her evidence without saying speaking about her opinion a single time. She did, however, use the evidence in her power to imply that she personally does not believe in student retention. Currently, I am still analyzing the article for another project for the class and figured it fit perfectly for this blog entry. I thought it was amazing how Williams was able to let the audience her stance on the topic just by using her evidence to work for her opinion. She wouldn't have written the article against retention if she herself didn't believe it was wrong. However, she doesn't need to say that; the facts do the speaking for her! Here is the link to the article for anyone who is interested!
