Throughout Allen’s essay, she includes a few anecdotes that show how mentally disabled individuals were struggling to achieve an education. She uses an appeal to emotion to show the opposing side of her point, because she eventually contradicts the anecdotes by discussing how the disabled students are creating a corrupt reputation. As Allen states, “Worst of all, the programs have generated a litigious entitlement mentality on the part of beneficiaries and their parents” (Allen 173). Using anecdotes to show what the students are going through and what they are saying really bring Allen’s essay to life; furthermore, she will give her logic as to why it would not work and what their attendance to college programs is doing. Allen’s readers may initially show empathy for the students, but once they continue to read through her essay, they will realize that intellectually disabled students should not be able to attend
