Essay Author and Title:

If You Run a Red Light, Will Everyone Know?


Central Argument of the Essay:
(p.xx) You can only argue for or against an online criminal database once you have been called a criminal in first hand.


My Central Claim about the nature/effectiveness of the argument in the essay:
You never know of true justice unless you've experienced in justice



This is how the author manipulated the rhetorical appeals:

• The logos appeal:Obviously there is an appeal to have people be able to know what sort of people they are living with on a daily basis.
  



• The ethos appeal: Gives credit to the online criminal databases for making records once hard to come by more acessible.
  



• The pathos appeal: Appealing to the families who live in fear of the criminals in society.
  

My conclusion about the nature/effectiveness of the argument in the essay:

The author is clearly trying to prove that you can never say for sure how you truly feel about the online criminal databases until your record is no longer clean.
