The Danger of Telling Poor Kids that College is the Key to Social Mobility

Carefully read Andrew Simmons essay “The Danger of Telling Poor Kids that College is the Key to Social Mobility.” Make sure you watch my lecture on Simmons’s essay and the video that explains the instructions for your Analysis Essay.

Your essay needs to accomplish the following:

It should follow the MLA format, which we have already covered.
Shoot for 2 full pages. You need to make sure that your essay fulfills the two page minimum requirement.
To keep things organized, I want you to break your essay into three sections:

The first paragraph should provide information on the article’s title, its place of origin, its author, and its date of publication. It should also provide a basic summary of the article, highlighting the author’s main points and most significant ideas. In this way, it will be like the first paragraph from your previous essay.

The second through fourth paragraphs should provide a more detailed analysis of the article. Here, you will have an opportunity to analyze on three techniques that Simmons employs in his article. You might want to analyze his purpose, intended audience, organization, thesis statement, anecdotes, or repetition. Use my lecture on Simmons’s article as a starting point. For example, if you analyze his thesis statement, you would explain where his thesis is located in his article, determine what type of thesis statement he employs (fact, value, policy), explain how you know what type of thesis it is, and comment on the effectiveness of his thesis. Each paragraph should analyze only one technique. For example, if you decide to analyze how Simmon’s essay is organized inductively, then make sure you stick with induction for the entire paragraph. Do not switch to a different technique mid-paragraph.

The fifth paragraph will give you an opportunity to evaluate the article. Some questions you might want to consider: Did I learn anything new from this article? Was the article interesting? Why or why not? Is there is anything about the article that I would change or revise? Was the article persuasive? These questions should merely be a guide; please do not answer them directly in your essay.
