A House for the Homeless

1. A House for the Homeless is basically arguing that the generalizations made about the homeless cannot be applied to all of them. As the author Ivana Nikolic points out in her story that the term “homeless” can be applied to many people of different races, cultures, backgrounds, with a wide variety of education.
2. I think that the style of argument for the story was classical because in her introduction she opens up by hooking in the audience and she uses ethos as well by discussing her life as a refuge. Then she goes on to state her case and so forth. Also, at the end in her conclusion she appeals to the emotions of the audience.
