Blog 8A

When an author writes an article they use items that help the reader understand their point. These definitions include exemplification, descriptions, process, and classification and division. Exemplification tells what something does or what it is meant for. Descriptions are verbal or visual and show what everything is about. Process helps people to know what is being done. Classification and division give priority and order to the items that the author is talking about.

In the article "As Worries Rise and Players Flee, a Missouri School Board Cuts Football" it is talking about how football may be to violent for kids to play. With the number rising in concussions and death in football related injuries, people are getting scared. Parents, youth, and administrators worry about the life long effects caused by football. With schools cutting out football, this takes away jobs for teachers, coaches, and refs as well as money that just funds the school in general. Thinking about it if you take high school football out of the mix, who goes on to play college football, or even professional. This economic gaze is very economic because it is like a chain reaction, that needs to be evaluated and confronted to keep people safe and with jobs.
