To find a topic for my argumenative documented essay i began by looking on the internet. First i checked the KDKA, i though this would be a great site because its a local pittsburgh news source. After looking around a bit i even found a college news section, reinforcing that this was the perfect place to look. Once i looked through this section i found out it was more focused on scores of local sports teams than news that affected college students. After that dissapointment I went to the local news section. Once again I found no articles that would work as an appropriate topic for the essay. Most of the articles involved a crime being commited or something burning down. Of the top of my head there really isnt anything i can think to write about either. One thing I do have a problem with is the fact that pittsburgh university students get free bus passes and art institute students do not. The students from our college use the bus just as much as any other. For some odd reason though were left out. Also there is no way for a art institute student to afford a buss pass on there own. A year long pass costs over eight hundred dollars, and that only covers zone one (which barely goes outside of the downtown area). I guess this would be a good topic for an essay but i dont know if ill be able to come up with enough information to write a three page essay.
