I believe that the “Columbia Council Should Support Mission, Homeless” is the most effective essay because it is persuasive, factual, and it inspires people to take action. The article opens be presenting facts about the City Councils stance on the cities homeless situation. The arguments appear to have a strong ethos and logos, making the reader easily persuaded. The pathos of the argument is of course that the writer is talking about homeless people. The end of the article is especially inspiring. It urges the City Council to gain the strength and knowledge it will take to make our city a better place.
