First Place: "A Healing School for Homeless Children"

The essay about First Place, a community shelter that helps homeless children prepare to reenter to public schools and gets their family back on their feet, was very persuasive to me. The support for the student’s claims was very good and she did well proving negative statements about the program wrong. This refutation strategy in her essay was done well and she still stayed in the classical sense by conceding to some of the opposing views. The audience, which this was written to, was neutral. The student’s claim is that First Place should receive more funding. The reason is that it could help more children and families reach self-sufficiency. Grounds consist of how well the children do once they are introduced into a public school and the family as a whole gets along after First Place. The argument’s warrant is that First Place helps children and families reach self-sufficiency. The backing is that programs that help homeless families get on their feet are successful and benefit the community. The rebuttal was shown through her essay and she disproved those claims. To qualify the claim we should say that First place should receive more funding from the community and the city. This is my analization of this essay.
