Annotated Bibliography
1) Dress code conflicts announced the beginning of the school year with a bang.
Usually, Id provide an example, but it makes more sense to talk about the Missouri
Legislature, where a few weeks ago, a dress code for interns was proposed, to much
dismay and no small amount of ridicule The majority of high schools have a dress code
and enforces them. The author of this article is trying to prove for the side of being
against dress codes. They focus on the aspects of the Missouri Legislature and how they
proposed a new dress code for genders. Not only for students but for other groups in the
workplace as well. This is a ethos article, but even more than that it is a pathos.
2) Like many of the educational controversies in this list, issues over gender-based
dress restrictions in school invoke the U.S. Constitution, in this case the Equal Protection
Clause of the 14th amendment, which ensures that laws will protect all individuals
equally, and requires a public school to protect its students from discrimination because
of their gender. The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th amendment of the U.S.
constitution ensures that laws will protect all individuals equally, and requires a public
school to protect its students from discrimination because of their gender. The author is
also on the side of no gender dress code restrictions. They use a few different examples
and realistic scenarios. This article is a logos article.

3) "Maggie Sunseri was a middle-school student in Versailles, Kentucky, when she
first noticed a major difference in the way her schools dress code treated males and
females. A middle school student in Versailles, Kentucky feels that dress code
restrictions are sexist towards females. These policies can perpetuate discrimination
against female students, as well as LGBT students. This article is based off of the
opinions of students that are still in middle and high school and students who just
recently graduated. The writer of this article is just writing about negative opinions and
using negative examples of school dress codes and regulations. This article is a pathos
article.
4) Last year, Anna Loisa Cruz, a seventh-grader at Irvington School in Portland,
Ore., was among four students who testified before the Portland Public Schools Board of
Education to talk about school dress codes. This article is based off of one group of girls
who are fighting back and arguing for the dress code to be changed and not to be sexist
against the females enrolled at the school. They follow the girls on what theyre doing to
fight back. The article is trying to convince us about the dress code being sexist by giving
examples and many situations the group of girls have been in and witnessed themselves.
This is a pathos article.
5) BY now, most high school dress codes have just about done away with the
guesswork. this article not only has the opinions and examples of students, it also has
the opinions of adults and parents who have seen these kids and situations the kids have
gone through. The article really tries to convince the reader to go against the gender dress
codes by focusing on one story of a female student who went against the schools rules
and wore a tuxedo for her yearbook picture. The school tried to ban the picture but the
student fought back. This article is a pathos article.

6) High school boys wearing dresses strike a pose with big smiles on their faces.
They know they're breaking school rules, but they hope their gender-defying outfits will
spark change. this article has opinions and situations that male students have said and
been in. most of the articles are based off of female students, but this particular article is
based off of male students. Which could be a convincing factor to some readers. The
article starts off getting into detail and opinions over the male students rebelling against
the gender dress codes. Then moves into other accounts of situations from all genders.
This article is a pathos article.

7) What you wear reflects who you are, or who you want to be. This article gets into particular
detail about what to wear in a professional workplace and outside of it. The creator of the article
uses quotes and ideas from other people. Even quoting Barack Obama on the matter of men and
women wearing the same things everyday, stating, When a man alternates between two different
pairs of dockers and shows up every day in a blue button-down shirt, no one says a thing. But if a
woman wears the same clothing two days in a row, people talk.
Women tend to like more variety in clothing than men do, so our culture reflects that.
President Obama wears almost the same outfit every day. He explained his reasoning in an
interview in Vanity Fair:
"You'll see I wear only gray or blue suits. I'm trying to pare down decisions. I don't want to make
decisions about what I'm eating or wearing. Because I have too many other decisions to make."
the author of the article is trying to use a huge figure in every Americans life, President Barack
Obama, to persuade the reader about how he/she should be dressing.
