My topic was concerning extending hours at the Cannon Center on the weekends.
This topic is important to many freshmen because it is the place where they go to get all of their meals. However, on the weekends it is difficult to find a good time to go to dinner. Sunday dinners are important because the quality time it provides people to spend with others. At dinner, students are likely to be engaging in pleasant conversations, rather than returning to their computer after church. Leisurely Sunday dinners allow students to discuss with their friends what they learned in church that day. In turn, this will allow others to be lifted up and enlightened. Longer weekend hours for the Cannon Center would also benefit the families that come to partake of the food on Sundays. It is important for family dinners to be relaxing and enjoyable, in order to become closer as a family. With the thought of family and friend unity, longer hours at the Cannon Center would benefit the quality of conversation within the groups.
Is this argument strong enough to convince the reader that the Cannon Center needs to start having longer hours?

I think this paragraph helps your claim, although this paragraph is not solely enough to convince readers that having longer hours at the Canon Centers is worth it. What about the students who have to work there on Sundays? I think as long as you hit all the different angles of this argument, your paper should be convincing.
Convenience is not usually enough of a reason to change policies set by administrators. They would be more willing to listen to this argument if there were a serious problem.
I like this topic. I agree with you as well. I think you're right that people do talk about what they learn in church but I don't think that that's necessarily the main thing that goes on. That being said the family dinner argument is pretty good, also I know for me, my entire ward eats together so it's a time to bond.
This is a good reason to convince other students about the Cannon Center, but maybe not quite strong enough to get the adminstrators to change anything. However, I still think that this was a well written paragraph with a good use of Pathos. It brings up a good point about one benefit of keeping the Cannon Center open later, specifically on Sundays.
Agreeing with Kristy, I think this paragraph helps with your argument, but isn't enough to fully convince. This is a great topic to argue about though, and I really hope that you can make a difference with this article because I would love to be able to go there later.
