Homework: 2/26


I found an article on Facebook that has to do specifically with Carrollton and the area of west Georgia. The article I found is http://times-georgian.com/view/full_story/21813980/article-Gas-prices-could-top--4-next-month?instance=TG_home_story_offset and it discusses the rising gas prices in Carrollton and all over the nation. This article estimates that gas prices could rise above $4 per gallon next month.  It shows that gas prices are up from averages in previous months and also last year. It goes on to describe some of the problems that are causing the gas prices to rise. The author of this article is making an argument and uses statistics of previous years and gas prices and also the prices of oil at different times. This article does not emotionalize this topic because they use facts to back everything up. I think that the author uses Slippery Slope when they say “If the Fed curtails or ends the program earlier than anticipated, that could affect economic growth and reduce demand for oil.
