The weekend is always a time that is looked forward to - a break from the daily grind leading to possible moments of full relaxation. These two special days offer free time, a concept that is often foreign to busy and employed adults. An article titled "You Don't Need More Free Time" describes that the weekend is not only looked forward to because of the free time. In fact, the atmosphere of a weekend could technically be placed at any time of the week. The reason why the weekend is so enjoyable is because it gives an opportunity to have free time with others as friends and family are usually off from work as well.
An important aspect of this argument piece is that it possesses a counter-argument. Someone would easily be able to ask the question focusing on the point that the author, Cristobal Young, made as she stated that the weekend can be at any time of the week. Isn't asking for a day off during the week the same as having the weekend? Technically, you're not working. Actually, no because the entire appeal of the weekend is that other people are available. She presents a lot of examples of the appeal to logos as she often says phrases such as "according to our research" and "our research suggests." She is making kind of a bold statement. The whole idea of hard-working tax-payers believing that they deserve two days off is a huge concept in America. Weekends are the time when people hang out with friends, complete household chores, catch up on any unfinished work, and relax. It is essential for a person to have that time to decompress which is why is argument works. Her conclusions are logical and can relate to any person as she also refers to unemployed adults.
Her purpose was to show that free time is important, but the any that you spend that time is essential. I could completely relate to what has he was saying, even though it can be argued that having a job and supporting a family is more stressful than going to school everyday.
