What do you notice about these opinion pieces? Are they balanced and persuasive?

These were good editorials, not opinion, and I think that both were good because they presented their argument, with strong facts in order to back up their opinion, with what they were trying to say. In editorials, you do state your opinion, along with both sides of the information, so the reader understands both sides, as well as the authors opinion. They also went in order of paragraphs, when presenting the information correctly, and the arguments were addressed and proven very strongly.
i had felt that they were good editorials becouse they talked about two big issues and both the pope and obama had facts to back their opinion. in the first article about the diseases spreading i would have to say that it is balanced becouse they had the popes feedback and then they talked about how he was wrong and how condoms are actually helping us by slowing down diseases from spreading. with the obama story i would say that it is somewhat ballanced they only have the pros and cons
I noticed that the topics that were addressed in both articles had to do with resent issues and were both interesting topics. I think both articles were balanced and persuasive. The authors did not just tell their side, they stated facts for both, however when presenting the side they believed in I felt more persuaded to it. I noticed the authors did a lot of things from the editorial handouts.
I liked these editorials i think they were interesting and its as almost you where they to see the argument and its almost hard to chose from becuase they both had strong balanced arguments and facts to back it up. Im sure there was more information then given in the article, but i also like how the writer of this article basically took everything from both sides and made sure to balence it out so it wont look like hes taking one side, and also to help the reader get the best of both world. I agree with the way the writer presented the article it made me think more now that I know what both sides of the story where, and both where very persuasive.
i feel that both of hte editorials were good because they talked about two big issues. the first article talked about diseases spreading. i think that the editorials were balanced because they used the arguments were addressed in both sides
I think that both of these articles are balanced and persuasive. They brought up there point with opinions and both sides of the story. It is hard to choose one side because they both had good arguments. Everything was address for both sides. This would be a great reference to my future writing in this section.
I enjoyed the first one very much, as the writer talks about both sides even though its present he's on one side. He does balance information correctly, as he tells all the facts so the reader knows that the whole picture is shown and not just what the writer wants them to see. A strong, clear opinion is presented but without any direct hurtful commenting on anyone's part. I learned from this article that all writers must be present with both sides to make your side look like the stronger side.
I thought that they were editorials not opinions, and I thought that they were good. They were interesting to read. They backed up there opinion very well. The editorials were pretty strong.
In the first article “Pope on Condoms and HIV” I think in the beginning, to me, clearly states both sides of his story, while explaining the events and while taking one side. I noticed that he stated different views, such as, an individual view, a nation wide view and his view. At the end I feel like he made it point blank that the pope was wrong and condoms aren’t the blame of making the illness worse. Reading the second I noticed that not only was he taking a side but addressing the public about what happened and what President Obama felt about education. I think that in someway he agreed with President Obama. I can not really tell if this author stated a side that was opposed to his own view or if he stated any other views. I, however, enjoyed reading this article.
