Rhetorical Analysis In the passage of “should everyone go to college”, the authors, Stephanie Owen and Isabel Sawhill argue on the question of whether college is the best choice for everyone and they make their argument very effective by adding detailed points within it. Some points that the authors make are the ideas of rate and variation of the return of education. Looking at the ideas and examples will show how the authors used them to make their argument effective. One of the examples of the author’s is the use of the rate of return on education. They mention on page 209, paragraph 1, that not all college degrees or college graduates are equal and that for certain schools, majors, and occupations, college may not be a smart investment.
