3. Jacoby uses an ancedote in the first and second paragraphs. The ancedote tells a story of a real life girl. Providing a real life example provides her with more credibility because people are more likely to believe her. Using a real life example is the same as using facts. Facts provide more background info and background info also gives the writer more credibility. Telling a story at the beginning also allows the reader to relate to it more and will help them understand what exactly the writer is talking about.
3. Jacoby uses an anecdote. The short story provides a realistic example and foundation for her argument to follow up on.
3. Jacoby uses an anecdote in the first two paragraphs. This strategy aids to set up her argument becasue it gives a real life, or made up, example to the topic. It is easier for her to argue and get her point acroos if her audience has an idea of what she is trying to get across. Sammie

3.) Jacoby uses an anecdote to open her essay. She tells of a 16 year old girl who decides that she no longer wants to take math and science because it isn’t relevant to her future. It aids in setting up her argument because it is the basis from which she talks about. Jacoby refers to her story several times and explains her point of why girls should take math and science.
4.) Jacoby uses an anecdote in her first two paragraphs (as stated in #3) to explain why the girl doesn’t want to take math and science. She also uses didactic to imply the lesson that girls should have to take math and science. She thinks that girls are weak, and don’t have the capability to suceed in math and science, which is a major hyperbole. Most the time, women do better than men in such classes. Jacoby uses expletives to give emaphasis to her ideas. The whole essay is a euphemism for saying that women should take these classes, but they aren’t good enough, she is basically saying we aren’t smart enough without coming right out and saying it . But that’s her opinion.

3) Jacoby uses an extended metaphor to show an example of a girl who knows what she wants to do after highschool, and her parents understand and accept it, but they fail to realize that their daughter could be limiting her understanding of "key" subjects in life.
4)Jacoby uses an extended anaology (P 1&2), She quotes satistics (P 5-9),
#4. In the third paragraph of the article, Jacoby further qualifies or describes, rather, the decision that her example sixteen year old had made; she says "This kind of decision, in which girls turn away from studies that would give them a sure footing in the world of science and technology, is a self-inflicted female disability" (184). She uses this same strategy of description multiple times throughout the article to emphasize the supposed bad decision making of females in their youth, and to further blame this decision making on the gender roles that have been constructed in society and girls' fears that "they will be unattractive to boys if they are typed at 'brains'" (184).
Jacoby uses the anecdote of the sixteen year old girl to show the audience her claim that there is a double standard about the career choices of females and males; her arguments about why that double standard exists follow it, and using the anecdote was an effective way to set up the argument because her arguments were based on the one example that she showed in the anecdote, and not necessarily the actual demographic of female opinion.
3.She set us up for the rest of the story and that is effective because it gets us prepared for what the story is going to be about. It is an example for us to look back at for the rest of the story if we need the reference.
4.She uses pathos by the little story at the beginning and by talking about how guys are more expected to be mechanics where as girls aren't expected to be mechanics as much so they are able to switch classes easier.
