Now more than ever before American society advanced in literacy skills from its diverse students and citizens. Kids with a college education are given more job opportunities than those with just a high school diploma. Young people begin to benefit from the fluency of an array of reading materials.

English reading writing and composition teaches the three appeals of rhetoric ethos. 1. The presentation of character and authority of the speaker. 2. The use of evidence and authority of the speaker. 3. The evocation of the audiences emotions.
