In Trevor Martian's documentary, "Schooled: The Price of College Sports", he teaches that college athletes should be payed to play sports! The author first states by showing stories from ex college athletes who didn't have enough money to provide for themselves in college. He then shows how Arian Foster didn't have enough money to get food for himself. So his coach brought him some food, but that was a rule violation. This that they should be payed because they don't have enough money to get food, but the people with money can't bring them food. In conclusion he persuades the audience with having analysis talking about how if the players don't perform they can lose their scholarship, which proves they aren't student athletes because they could be doing great in school but still lose their scholarship. His purpose is to captivate the audience in order to get them to see the athletes sides of things, so they can understand what they go through. She seems to have the NCAA as the audience in mind because it seems she is talking to them when the narrator is speaking. I agree with Trevor Martian because the coaches get payed millions of dollars, but the players are doing all of the work and don't get paid anything. This is why the college athletes should get paid to pay!
At the beginning of the documentary, it showed what the environment of college sports is like. Then it told the stories about the life of a college athlete. Then it brought in old players it they told stories about how they couldn't survive in college because they had no money. The athletes didn't understand why they did all the work and the NCAA got all of the money. After that the documentary brought in analysts to give them there side of the story, and they all said that they believe the athletes should be paid. It was said that the phrase student athlete was used to save the NCAA from law suits if students get injured. They told stories of how athletes got injured and the NCAA didn't pay because they were a student first. Everyone believes in the future students will be paid. This movie goes over the fact that students are treated unfairly. It goes over all the facts about it and shows why they should be paid. I agree with the movie and hope to see the student athletes getting treated more fair in the near future.
Avoid going straight to specific examples from a film or piece of literature. You should open with the general arguments made in the documentary and the strategies employed. Only later on should you get into specific examples that would move or persuade your audience.
