Shouldn 'T Society Treat Substance Abusers?' By Estra
Journal 5
Estras Essay Estra uses all of the features listed in the book. The debate over team name has long been a controversial issue and he shows his position against it many times. Estra also uses plausible reason and support to back up his statement against the use of certain team names. Estra also know what objections people have and he does a nice job of refuting them clearly.

The disease he is describing is substance abuse. Leshner is trying to make the reader think about how obvious it is that we should be treating substance abusers.

In the first four paragraphs of the essay “Adventures in Equality”, Mariah Nelson uses examples of football overusing a college budget.

She states facts about the law and title IX that help the reader understand that women just want equality in college level sports.
