Rhetorical Analysis
As I graduated high school I was very enthusiastic about entering into college.

Therefore, if a teacher has a low average of a class the university will review the class in its entirety. All of this applies to ethics in many different ways but the most uniform ideas all fall back on the teachers. The...
