Both Groups complete the same problems, but the PUNISHMENT GROUP has to complete the experiment at 2 am when Professor Psycho returns from a heavy night of clubbing. The WITHOUT PUNISHMENT Group completes the problems at 9am. To Professor Psycho’s surprise the average score of the WITHOUT PUNISHMENT GROUP is better than the WITH PUNISHMENT GROUP.

Will’s persuasion of the essay overall is unconvincing due to the lack of information stated about the opposing view so therefore his ridicule is unfair. Will starts off painting a scene by having the reader picture anecdotal evidence about the 13 year-old Indian boy being tutored. He tells his readers about how dedicated the child is and giving the idea that he’s trying hard to get a high education, “Ben Chavis (…) told the boy that although he was doing well at school, he was not up to the rigors of AIPCS. (…) So the boy asked, what must I do?” Though Will presents an anecdotal scene of what will most-likely happen, it’s not valid because this child’s determination of education does not represent all students who attend AIPCS. He gives the first premise that this student has determination and wishes to do what it takes to achieve his goal.

Todd’s parents think that he should become a lawyer and they do not give him a lot of attentions as they send him the same desk set each year. Their new English teacher, Mr. Keating or “The Captain”, is different from the rest and some of the students find him mad. In their first class, he brings them to see pictures of some of the former students at the school. Through poems he tells them to seize the day, Carpe Diem, a term which he thinks the students should live by. Mr. Keating’s way of teaching brings out the uniqueness of the pupils, but the other teachers, bound by traditions and discipline, do not like his way of teaching.
