1.       "Ensuring Equal Opportunity in Public Education." Center for American Progress. N.p., n.d. Web. 19 Nov. 2012. <http://www.americanprogress.org/issues/education/report/2008/06/10/4567/ensuring-equal-opportunity-in-public-education/>.

This article is an opinion editorial about fixing the issues of equal opportunity in education. The authors’ start the article by explaining how America’s educational system is broken and even though education is free, it isn’t the same across the US. They strongly use ethos and logos by showing significant data between the inequalities between the types of education kids get between urban areas and more affluent areas.

                Then the authors use pathos and ethos by saying that unequal education will cause kids to be left behind. This brings up strong feelings of fairness by making the poor suffer from a worse education.

                The article was most convincing because of its use of ethos. Two pages of the text was dedicated to explaining in further detail how inequality in the quality of kids education effect the future of America. Personally I want to do whatever is necessary to ease the issue of unequal education.
