"The Case Against College" by Linda Lee

Subject and Purpose
1. Lee is not against College, but she does not think it is for every person.

3. (skipped 2) Her purpose was to really get it in the heads of parents and students that there is no pressure to go to College becasue everyone else is, it is a personal thing, everyone is different and if you do not embrace your individuality you may end up spending money and not truly getting anythign out of it.

Stradegy and audience
2. (skipped one) Her thesis is in para. 3, last sentence, "Not everyone needs a higher education."

Questions on Vocab. and Style
1. Opening with "You" is just a good attention grabber. Appealing to reader makes them feel like they're being directly talked to.

2. I would say Lee's essay was informal becasue normally "you" is not formal in a writing. And it was definately conversational.

3.Definitions: Incumbent:current holder of position.
Savy: understanding
