154 Words1 Page

She further backs her argument by expressing that it isn’t fair, nor does it make sense to have museums and galleries to specifically generate private clubs and exhibitions just to display an “ethnic-only” show. She hints that, that is whitewashing, ostracizing, and completely racist to the minority population. Rindfleisch then articulates that “Art is a visual communication,” and to isolate half of California’s population, it literally means that that visual communication is being impeded.

Within this Graff talks about learning the “…rudiments of intellectual life; how to make an argument, weigh different kinds of evidence, move between particulars and generalizations, summarize the view of others, and enter a conversation about ideas.” (Graff, 383). This point relies on assertion because he is making a statement without any facts and expecting the reader to believe him.

Graff is reaching into the emotions of students that also believe what he does, also what they like and want to read or write about. Also, it touches the emotions of parents who also believed this while going through school and believed that if schools used this method, that they could have become more successful. “Everyone knows some young person who is impressively “street smart” but does poorly in school. What a waste, we think, that one who is so intelligent about so many things in life seems unable to apply that intelligence to academic work.
