The document summarizes and quotes from multiple articles and passages. It begins by discussing an article that argues NASA's space program should continue exploring space as technology advances, following what Neil Armstrong began. It then discusses a article arguing Penn State should suspend its football program for a few years due to penalties from the Jerry Sandusky sex abuse scandal. Finally, it provides two quotes from the book "An American Childhood" about the author enjoying drawing as a child and referring to boys as "cute" to indicate she was a teenager.

2. America should shoot for stars again
The Author stated that NASA space program should not be closed down, instead they should continue what
Neil Armstrong began in the 60’s after his death and continue exploring as technology advances.
In this article they used ethos to draw the reader in because Neil Armstrong, being the first man on the
moon, obviously knows a bit about space travel. Just his name in tis topic helps draw the reader in and
agree with their opinion.

4. Penn State should take a break from
football
The main thesis of the article was that Penn State should shut down their football program for a few years
due to all the penalties after the sex abuse scandal of Joe Paterno and Jerry Sandusky
It was a logical statement because they listed all of the penalties and fines given to football program. Penn
State is far in debt even before the 2012-2013 season. They used numbers and stats to draw you in and get
you to agree because of all the damage done and fines they have it might be a smart decision.

7. Quote #1
“WHILE FATHER WAS MOTORING down the river, my reading
was giving me a turn. At the neighborhood boys house, I ran
into Kimon Nicolais’ The Natural way to Draw.”
Pg. 78

I thought this was a helpful quote because it helped figure
out her hobbies as she grew older, she enjoyed drawing. I
was also curious about the capitalized “WHILE FATHER WAS
MOTORING...”

9. Quote #2
“It was always one of the wincing giantswho were cute. We
ran combs through our hair and pounded back along the
labyrinth club corridors to the dance floor. Yes, very cute.”
Pg. 188

This quote helped the reader follow her age. At parts of the
novel it was difficult but at this time you could tell she was
probably in her early teens by the way she speaks about hte
boys.
