What are Garingers major claims and assertions?

Do you agree with her claims?
Gail Garinger does not believe juveniles deserve life sentences. We
agree with her claims. we agree with her claims because, we as well
do believe that juveniles except for Javeln, and he will explain why.
He feels that young adults know right from wrong and they should take
accountability for their actions. so, young adults should be sentenced
as adults and should be responsible for their actions.

What evidence does she use to support her claims? How relevant and valid
do you think the evidence is? How sound is the reasoning? Is there any claim
that appears to be weak or unsupported? Which one, and why do you think
so?
She uses stories of Supreme Court cases such as Miller v. Alabama and
Jackson v. Hobbs. It is fairly relevant and valid, as they are from 2012.
The reasoning is sound, because the evidence comes from a valid
source. There is no claim that appears to be weak or unsupported.

Can you think of counterarguments that Garinger does not consider?

We cannot think of any counterarguments to Grainger's claims.

Do you think Garinger has left something out on purpose? Why?

I think Garinger has not left anything out because she believes that
Juveniles do not deserve life Sentences and she bring out many
examples why she feels that young adults don't deserve to be
sentenced as adults, one example is when she brings out that kid were
denied access to education and rehabilitation programs and left
without help or hope. so the young
kids are left with no one to turn to so they turn to

Crime

What can you infer about Garinger from the text? Does
she have the appropriate background to speak with
authority on the subject? Is she knowledgeable?
From the text, we can infer that Garinger has a bias against those who
incarcerate juveniles. She does have the appropriate background and
knowledge on the subject, as she is the head of the Office of the Child
Advocate.

What does the Garingers style and language tell you

about her? Can you trust her?
her style and language can tell a lot about her. She uses high class
words and phrases to show she knows what she is writing about. i do
believe we can trust her because she writes a lot of articles and she
does this for a living.

Do you think Garinger is trying to manipulate your

emotions? In what ways? At what point?
Garinger is trying to manipulate our emotions, when she tells stories
of children as young as 13 being put on trial for life sentences.
