Write a critical analysis of the essay Indian Mascots – You’re Out! by Jack Shakley, which is provided as a handout. The essay should identify the main points of the argument, and engage in an analysis of their effectiveness. You should not simply summarize the arguments being made – rather, you are expected to provide an in-depth critical analysis. What are the strengths and weaknesses of each argument? What sorts of appeals does the author use to persuade the audience, and are they effective (and if so, why)? Does the author commit any logical fallacies when making his arguments? A successful essay will answer these kinds of questions in a thoughtful, critical manner, utilizing evidence to back up claims.
