Clemson dining halls



            The argument of the article was that Clemson dining halls are not as nice and good as they initially seem for a top rated university such as Clemson.  One way the author proved this is when he asked other students what they thought about the dining halls and the way the students described many of the problems with the dining halls.  One way the author used logos is by showing how dirty the plates and cups looked in the dining halls.  Then the author asked if Clemson is supposed to be a top rated university then why are the plates and cups so dirty and other of the aspects that the students stated wrong with our dining halls.  Another way that the author uses logos is through the use of the showing the ground and the ground has a bunch of food and debris on it.  Not to mention the fact that the ketchup and other sauces were all over the place and the dining hall was quite messy.  The video succeeded in explaining the argument but the examples they used of students talking kind of counteracted the argument that was trying to be made.  Also, the final statements of the video completely took back what the video was trying to argue because it said that the dining halls weren’t that bad.  The video was told from an outside point of view, but the video was shot from the camera angle of first person or a Clemson student just walking around campus.  I think that the video could have had a lot more examples that would have proven the argument a lot better.  That is why I think that the video was made decently, but there were definitely a lot of improvements that could have been made to improve the argument a lot.
