1. The writer is Meredith Keeter. Meredith Keeter started her career as a librarian at a high school in North Myrtle Beach. I feel like this would help her argument.
2. The writer's purpose is to enhance the creativity in schools. The writer hopes to achieve the creativity to go in children in schools.
3. The topic that the writer decided is that creativity in schools can be looked over. This topic could be broad but it talks about how the graphics in novels are.
4. The situation for the argument is that text only can take away from the children creativity in the children.
5. The writer appeals to logic by saying that more and more ethics got involved, this also goes into emotion because almost everyday a different student won. This could be emotions because they all got excited and wanted to join in. The writer tries to establish her credibility by telling us her background and where she went to school and where she is now.
6. The argument's thesis is that helping children know that graphics novels are good but they are not the only thing out there. Because children lean more to graphic novels because they think it is less to read.
7. The writer organize the argument well by letting us know how a school library looks like and how children do lean more to the graphic novels. The arrangement of ideas are effective by letting us know how to change this and make it known.
8. The evidence that the writer uses is that her competition was doing well and she will use what she learned from the first competition for the ones later down the road. Yes the writer uses enough evidence for the argument.
9. The writer uses similes by using the comic book and graphic novels. Because she was making a comic book but talked about how the comic books and graphic novels are somewhat the same but a comic book is smaller.
10. The writer uses parallelism in the article.
11. My analysis and my overall assessment for this argument was great. I think that Keeter did a great job at getting her students at her school involved with reading and getting them in the library and letting them see that is not a scary place to be.

I am interested in what the author wrote in her article but I feel a lack of understanding from what has been said about it. You didn't really say why her background as a high school librarian in North Myrtle Beach was important. It seemed that all that was said in her article was about comic books and graphic novels yet don't you find it strange that, that is all she's said about creativity in schools when it's a lot more than just comic books and graphic novels? And I have to disagree on the graphic novels helping students with creativity because when a person reads a book, they paint pictures in their head on what they think a character looks like or what the scenery on one page may look like. With graphic novels, there are already pictures so no one is really getting the satisfaction of painting the images of what they think someone looks like in their head. Maybe the author should look more into what creativity in schools are to the kids to go to them.
