Rhetorical Analysis Claims

"Your Appearance, Good or Bad, Can Affect the Size of Your Paycheck by Stephanie Armour"

Central Claim: : "A growing body of research supports what many suspect: In the workplace, an employee's physical appearance is a powerful symbol that affects job success." (pg. 254)

My Central Claim: "Lawmakers should pass stricter laws regarding the discrimination of workers based on weight and height, since there is a direct correlation between a person's appearance and his or her paycheck." (pg. 1)

My Conclusion: "Laws should be passed to protect people from such blatant accounts of discrimination; equality in the workplace is something we should all strive for."

It has a good opening paragraph. It catches the readers attention and states the point from the beginning. Some of the sentences were worded awkwardly but over all I liked the paper and all of the examples that were given. It was a little repetative but its hard not to be with these articles. Overall good paper.
