This article begins with a general view on president Obama's approach to the major debate surrounding gun control, which then proceeds into his view for change in economy to benefit the middle class. The author structures the article by first addressing Obama's speeches and their inclusion of change for the country to benefit middle class economic lifestyles. Soon the article merges into reforms for education, and the author includes refutes from the Republican party.
I am glad to read that pertinent issues such as education and middle class economy are being discussed within the government, and this notion for change is welcome after the tough years of unemployment and poverty. I agree with the president's stance that establishing a secured future for the younger generations will guarantee success for America's future. Education is key to every individual's success, and reform is important to garner improved methods to help achieve success. I am also glad that president Obama is taking action for the middle class, which easily has the most occupants economically. His persuasion for the economic leniency was supported by affordability for colleges and manufacturing aspects. By adding the differing points the Republican party expressed, the author brought a contradiction into the article to further highlight the president's point. Questioning the president's intentions gives readers a chance to truly decide what side to choose and puts the issues into perspective. Furthermore, the author also mentions Democrats also being against reforms that have no point according to them, yet another strategy to make readers be inclined to take a specific side.
I think you could organize your post better. You start by summarizing and speaking a bit about the article's structure, then talk about your own views on the topic, and then go back to talking more about structure. Your post would be clearer if you'd talked about one topic completely before moving onto another, instead of bouncing back and forth. Also, your second paragraph is quite long, and I think you could split it. On the analysis itself, it's really interesting. I'm glad that you put in your own thoughts and talked about how it's relevant to you.
