Homework

According to my article entitled, The Black-White test score gap: why it persists and what can be done, the typical American black scores below 75 percent of American whites on almost every standardized test. The author is enraged that this gap is so high and argues that many things can be done to close this gap. He also believes that the closing of this gap will help promote the racial equality we have all been striving for.
Arguing his main point comes across in the beginning of the third paragraph when it says, "
Narrowing the test score gap would require continuous effort by both blacks and whites, and it would probably take more than one generation. But we think it can be done." The author portrays the perfect example of an informative article that is an argument.
