This article was about why animals shouldn't be considered property. And what they should be viewed as. This helps our argument because it shows a clear reason why animals should be more than just property and it can lead into animals getting rights.

http://www.avma.org/onlnews/javma/may03/030515n.aspThis source had two articles in it
The article I'm going to talk about is the article about how dogs can be dangerous too. And how to dogs tend to bite people. This could help because these are the type of source that can counter our argument big time about animal rights.

Food Incorporated Documentary
This documentary was talking about how a lot of fast food corporation were going against health codes. And keeping the public in the dark about what goes on in their factories. This can tie into our argument because most of these corporations miss treat the animals, some animals in the fast food factories don't even see the sunlight. This is one example of how animals need rights too.

Germany votes for animal rights
This source can help our argument, because Germany showed a major step in animal rights. Because Germany is the first country to put animal rights in their Constitution. Which limited a lot of animal experiments in Germany.

A New Book Argues Against the SAT
http://thechoice.blogs.nytimes.com/2011/11/09/sat/?scp=2&sq=argument%20essay&st=cse
Summary:Wake Forest University announced three years ago that it would make SAT opional for undergraduate applicants. Joseph Soares, a sociology professor at the university supports the choice because he believes standarize testing is bias to minorities and women.
Central Argument: The central argument is that the SAT and ACT are fundamentally discriminatory.
Assertion #1: One assertion in this eassy is when Mr. Soares saids in the story “High school grades are the single most powerful predictor of college performance,” he said. “High SAT scores over-predict how well a student is going to do in college, and they’re inversely related to academic engagement.” Which he is stating that colleges should look at high school students grades instead of maily looking at their SAT scores.
Assertion #2: When Mr. Soares saids “I don’t blame the SAT,” he said. “But they’ve inadvertently ended up with a statistical algorithm that is systematically biased against racial minorities and women.” He is supporting what he said in the beginning of the story and states his belief that the SAT is biased against minorites and women, also the ones that are not in the higher class of society.
Rethorical Strategy:
Logo: This Article gives supporting statistics to the authors claim. And gives the readers readiblity to ask questions to themselves.
Pathos: This article shows an image of the book SAT WARS. And shows an emotional appeal of how some people feel about the SAT.
Two words i didn't know
1. inadvertently
2. discriminatory
