Krista Ramsey Article

The article I read about from Krista Ramsey is The Very Poor Case for Arming Teachers. The article was about, like the title says, the outweighing negatives about arming a teacher in case of a school shooting. In the article it suggests questions like how would a Police Officer know a assailant from an educator, or making a teacher, a person in regards with education become an arms bearer.

My favorite line that she says in the article is, "It's unrealistic and, in fact, insulting to think people who entered the profession of education should be turned into teacher-law enforcement hybrids." That's the quote that spoke to me the most; how do we make a teacher, who is meant for educating, become a person that has to hold a gun and be trained to use it in the correct situation. I like how she said hybrid as a choice of diction like the person is some sort of mutant that wasn't supposed to be. She also says that it is oblivious to think that people who entered one profession, has to do a profession totally different.

The writing style, is that she tries to use emotions to try and persuade or affect the reader. Like here, she tries to persuade the reader that arming teachers has a very poor case. In the other articles, like the dog one sitting out in the cold, she uses sadness to affect the reader.

Three Questions:
1.What got you interested in writing columns?

2. What drives you to write for these people that do good deeds, or live through tough times?

3.How do you decide on which ideas you should do for your stories.
