Section 4
For my project, I will create the front page of the sports section for the USA Today paper. However, the main focus and article from the paper will be an analysis on why college football should have a playoff system. It currently relies on the BCS computer program to decide who the number 1 team in America is, but this is a horrible process. The side articles will include current topics of the sports world. I will be using ESPN, USA Today sports section, and Sportscenter to pull my articles from. This project contains an abundance of rhetoric, and will be tied in to the main article.

Residence Halls-
I think that the author was very sarcastic and wrongfully harsh when it came to describing residence halls. First of all, she complains that they gave false advertisement on the posters. Did she really think that they would advertise by saying, "Come live in a dorm, it sucks!" They obviously are going to try to persuade the students to live in by saying its a great choice. The topics that she discusses are actually correct. The way she describes the waiting for showers and the problems with the roommates are things that most freshman go through. However the intense amount of complaining is a little hard to take.
