In the article, For Colleges, 'Free' Is about Much More Than Money, Kevin Carey uses Cooper Union as an example for free university since 1859 but since a new building was established for $175 million loan and to pay back, this the university tuition was changed from being free to $20,000 per year. This university was found by Peter Cooper who had the vision for free higher education and was willing to achieve his dream and help his society. Peter Cooper is a real example of how a normal person can help his society. Therefore, having free higher education is something possible to achieve especially when government, leaders, local people, and companies are working together. The author uses logos to illustrate logical aspect of how free tuition effects on students by presenting many stories and opinions of students, which works pretty good in the text. In using that appeal, the argument was persuasive because the author gives some opinions of students who studied at a free tuition college and he shows that when free higher education is provided, there will be millions of students who will get benefit from this opportunity, which will be worth much more than cost by giving facts. The author is effective in his use of that appeal, because logos is the rhetor persuades by using reasons and evidences, also is using logic (The Carolina Rhetoric, 13), which is what he talks to clarify his argument. He uses this evidence to demonstrate a university that had to have free tuition in the US, which is kind of a weird thing for Americans to know about because they used to have tuition. Therefore, he gives sort of solution to have back the ideal of free college. However, his claims are supported with evidences that give more understanding for his claims. The logic to the argument is that Carey said: "Americans are pay more for higher education than citizens of comparable nations, with no discernible in return", which is putting together to shows that students are spending much money just to have higher education and it needed to be free because of that reason. Logos is connected with the other appeals; ethos and pathos by giving logical reasons then supported it with pathos or ethos. Also Logos helps the other appeals because when the author gives facts about Cooper Union he supported it with another appeal that is pathos, when he mentions Kevin Slavin's opinion that is an alumnus and a trustee with it, with these appeals he illustrates the text.  

Ethos is another appeal that the author used. Ethos the rhetor persuades by means of his or her character or credibility (The Carolina Rhetoric, 13). The text demonstrates its authority by carrying student's opinion about having a free tuition that makes the author's argument strong because it is just opinion but these opinions especially Kevin Slavin's opinion who is an alumnus and a trustee, help to let the reader believe what is written. Also the text shows its authority by talking about the school when it was free and now when it is not. So for example, when Americans heard about free colleges it seem to them a weird thing. However, the situated text is "Kevin Carey is director of the education-policy program at the New America Foundation"(Carey). Peter Cooper is a reliable source because he founded Cooper Union and made it without paying tuition. The invented text is how the author says many evidences to support his points that show to me that he is knowledgeable about the topic. The author illustrates the goodwill and virtue by including the opinions of students who went to Cooper Union. By doing so, he recognizes the good feelings everyone had when the school was free. Nowadays, the effect that free tuition for higher education is that most of Americans will see that is a weird thing to know and it effects that requiring payment for college could effect on college student's ambition and on the good high school students it may not let the achieve their goals because they do not have the ability to pay.  

Pathos is also another appeal that the author used. Pathos is the rhetor persuades by playing upon the listener or reader's emotion (The Carolina Rhetoric, 13). From the article, Kevin Slavin says "I didn't go because it was free for me. I chose Cooper Union because it was free for everyone. And anyone who actually experienced that knows that the only way to jeopardize the quality of the education there is to charge for it.  ...  'Free' affects far more than a fiscal bottom line. It affects the intentions, behavior, ambition, and performance of everyone in the system." The author uses Kevin Slavin's opinion to make me want free education to everyone. Since it not free for everyone any more people will feel angry. This text also makes me feel sad and seem to be a fair thing because I think that paying tuition all around the world especially for Americans because they pay more in education. It is not a good thing because some good students cannot afford the tuition which lead them to stay home and do not study therefore it will effect on the economy of the country. From the text it intended to be felt sorry and change it to be free but it not much effecting. The imaginary that is used is kind of ineffectively. This appeal as I think is very important because it has feelings and this appeal could change the point of view just from saying simple words and sometimes the reader feels like it touch their feelings.
