Summary of Authoritative Source

I choose this editoral Cartoon cause I believe that it depicts the problem of how the budget crisis got there it is today, for one the state government doesn't run effective enough to solve what it needs to solve, reason why it took 30 days after it was originally proposed, including that trying to repeatitly cut money from school with look for other main sources of money to help pay back the Bugdet.  It Shows Arnold as the head case of the problem since he cant manage his fellow republicans to help him draw out the budget before hand.

CA budget crisis interview

I choose to interview a close friend named Daniel who is ending his 3rd year close to starting his fourth with SJSU, reason for interviewing him is that he begining upper division classes and i wanted to know if the Budget Crisis would have a more direct impact on him as a further along student at San Jose.

Interviewer:how do you feel towards the budget crisis?

Daniel: unpleasant that it had to come to this and that it will finicially hurt myself in multiple ways.

Interviewer:What part of the budget do you think will affect you the most as an individual?

Daniel: Workplace in the school, the quality of education will continue to decline.

Interviewer:  How much do you predict the increase in cost for college tuition?

Daniel:  Atleast ten percent overall each year and, even more in some areas of the tuition

Interviewer: Who do you think is to blame for the budget crisis here in the state of California?

Daniel:  The state legislative overall for being ineffieceint and not getting done what needs to get done.

Interviewer:  More than 2000 legislative state members have received payment increases in the last year despite the multibillion dollar budget, what is your thought on that?

Daniel:  It shows that the legislative isn't having our best interest at heart and are more concerned on having their jobs satisfy their personal schedule then having to fulfill the needs and wants of the people in California, shows that they are hypocrytes.

Rhetorical strategies

The persuasivness used in the artile was the tone, when he spoke of this speech and saying it himself i could hear the voice of obama giving the speech was as if he had a sense of pride in himself and others to those who would listen to what had to say and think on what actions America as a whole should do and declare what part he would play in for the people of america and the future it held for better times to come.

The Audacity of Hope 

barack obama

An article showing the speech obama gave when he first gave when he became apart of the state legislature.  Obama covers the main issues where America is suffering mostly in areas of jobs, unemployment rate is increasing and the oppertunity for jobs are dimishing, including the homless where people work day in and day out to try to keep to what very little they have. Obama recieves word that many suffer and choose between healthcare or having a roof over there head and having to make that decision every month, and in conclusion he summerizes that government needed to create some oppertunity for people to have the chance to devolop and achieve simple life styles they choose to have because obama stated himself that "America is a faith of simple dream, and insistance on small miracles;...."

inauguration speech

Obama used many details to gain the trust of the people to follow and believe him as a admit president of the United States. For one he used the past to make the problems of today seem possible to reach including the decline in todays economy and the way we rely on foriegn oil from countries we don't particularly get along with.  Obama claims that our goals are no small task and the time to over come and resolve them will take time but the country of america has overcome great challenges in past and so shall we in the future.  He also claims that the resolving of the country problems today will result in a new foundation of america today such as reliable jobs to improve the unemployment percentage, schools and state governments.  Mainly Obama persuades the people of america saying that its just another obsticle for the american people to accomplish, "the country as done much in the past and so shall it in the future"
