 A New Supreme Court challenge for Obama care

Pro-

• Most federal judges who have considered this claim have tossed it out.
• It "inconceivable that conservative justices would use
• Just because court took the case doesn't mean it will vote destroy Obama care
• The laws says what is says, so the question is whether " this administrative can unilaterally rewrite the law to suit its political ends.

Cons-

• Liberals are right to say that this was probably just a "drafting error". 
• Yanking away health in insurance "will keep people".
• If they deny subsides to those 36 states, young healthy people who cant afford their coverage without tax subsidy would drop out.

Stance-

Obama care should be kept, because a lot of people are in need. A lot of people are against this but they don't realize that people are out here needing this. If this happens does not pass there is going to be lots of issues.

particularly effective, analyzing how style and content contribute to the power,

persuasiveness, or beauty of the text.


In the speech " Aren't I a Women?" uses rhetoric and style, and contributes to the power of persuasiveness


In her opening paragraph the set of the tone for her speech is persuasiveness, because she is telling her speech to a group of slaves back then and telling them that its about time they get there freedom and that they are strong and don't need the help of anybody. Along while shes saying her speech she also has a tone of impassioned and confident.The effect on a rhetoric question that begins in the second paragraph of her speech is that shes answering her own question. Her appeal in each of the three central paragraphs at the beginning is that she is no different  from anybody else. The effect of this would that there wouldn't be as much of a speech and we wouldn't be able to read her full story.

In this essay we answered questions that contained rhetoric and style. In the essay he explains to us the effects and the good things about dumpster diving.  In paragraph 7 in the essay Eighner, the dumpster man identifies the rhetorical direction  he plans to follow and, which he defines himself as a scavenger, and does not really give out a good explanation.
