1. Carey organizes his text to support his option, then bring up other options and not just blatantly recruit them but explain why people might support that, but then go into even more to support his view point. I think Carey organized his text this way because as you are reading alone you understand and start to agree with Carey but then all these questions pop into your head either what others have said about the subject or what you are questioning yourself as the opposite view. Then Carey addresses that view and doesn't really make it sound like the wrong view but then goes on to talk about more examples about his view to make the opposite view just seem as the weaker argument, not wrong just weaker.
2. Carey states many facts and brings up multiple arguments. He is basically overloading the reader with information, some statics, some stories and examples about students, and some just ideas and questions, but all in all a lot of information to make the reader think and analyze and formulate an option.
3. What really stuck me is the fact that these for profit universities are harboring many students from low income families. The quote "A quarter of all federal aid goes to for-profit universities, while they enroll only 10 percent of students." Carey does not really touch on this fact that he is stating to back it up with maybe these are students who were denied any other education. That this was a last resort and that is why there is many government funding for these students that come from nothing looking for an education at an affordable price. Carey does not really show evidence of any of this happening.
