For our second post, we are going to combine the skills that you practiced in the first post with practice writing about multiple texts at the same time--in other words, putting texts in conversation with each other. This is an important skill for research writing. Research is the bringing together of many ideas--of your own and the ideas of others--into conversation with each other. It's like a big dinner party where many people are talking all at once about one subject.

These two passages are different from their perspective about getting into a college. From Ellen Ruppel Shell, college is not worth anymore, while in Emma Kerr’s article, she encouraged student to getting into the college.

The two articles discussed the issue of college education, but the authors argue for different viewpoints. In the first article written by Kerr, the author claims that students should make a wiser choice in whether to attend the four-year college education based on their own situation. In the second article written by Shell, the author questions the fairness and usefulness of college education in career path. The author advocates for more chances providing for the poor people and workers with high school diploma.

Both of these articles discuss education issues, but the views of the two authors are different. Ellen Ruppel Shell believes that the fairness of university education in future career development will be questioned. However, Emma Kerr suggests that entering university is worthy of encouragement. Four-year university education has certain advantages, and students should also make decisions based on their own circumstances.

Both articles discuss the issue of four-year universities, and their views have similarities and differences. For Emma Kerr, he believes that students can get a higher starting salary through university, but for some special occupations or professions that require skills, a four-year university is unnecessary. Because universities are expensive, there are other alternative ways to earn the same money. For Ellen Ruppel Shell, college is no longer worth it, because society needs more workers and people who make money through energy, not many intellectuals.

These two articles talk about whether kids should go to college or not in a different aspect. For Emma Kerr’s article, she suggests the kids going to college by saying that college graduates gain an average of 30000 dollars more compared to the ones who only finish in a high school diploma. This could be a huge difference for people’s careers. People who go to college seem to like working in an office. People who only earn a high school diploma mostly use their strength and hard work to make money and it is also a different style.
