By: Richard Luscombe
Luscombe has a passionate tone one that you can feel the rage and disappointment. You can feel when reading his strong diction, diction which he uses to prove a point, to fight back. Luscombe has a bias in his writing. He writes because a child was shot at a school she attended for an education and it was a 'miracle' she was alive, a 'miracle' for her to survive getting an education and having to experience trying to be killed. Luscombe writes to inform of this tragic event. An event which the president apparently only gives condolences but no action. Luscombe writes about how grateful this child was for living and how grateful she was they saved her life. And in order to give background as to what the government is doing Luscombe informs the readers of what is currently going on and is being done for the protection of children. This article has a strong appeal to pathos, pathos appeals in the way that rage is flowing through several readers bodies because of the fact students had to endure such a horrific event. This post was created to create awareness of the survivors of this event and the pain they had to endure. Luscombe decided to inform his audience so they could have gun control awareness and the effect guns have on the world. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/feb/26/florida-shooting-madeleine-wilford-miracle-recovery

By: Tom McCarthy McCarthy maintains a literal diction in order to communicate his information to his audience. His diction is clear and concrete in order to maintain a detached point of view while writing this article. He had a detached tone although there were some hints of sarcasm when addressing and or informing about certain details on the event. McCarthy had a hint of sarcasm "McCabe himself was registered Republican as recently as 2016, when he voted in the Republican primary in Virginia..." this was his response to the fact that Trump said McCabe should be fired because his wife had received money from Hillary Clinton. He also elaborated the money came from Terry McAuliffe who is not Hillary Clinton. This appears to be McCarthy being a little sarcastic to the fact that the money really wasn't from Hillary it was from one of her supporters and the fact McCabe was a republican so he had no reason to be negatively influenced. McCarthy established credibility, which appeals to ethos when including quotes from people involved he states their position so the audience knows how they take part in the event and how they influence it. He created this article to bring to light that another of the FBI individuals involved in Trump's case has been pushed out this time McCabe stepped down early. McCarthy talks about how Trump has been constantly attacking McCabe on twitter trying to ruin McCabe's credibility. McCarthy wrote this to take the importance of McCabe's early retirement and how this looks on the case and on Trump.
www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jan/29/fbi-deputy-director-andrew-mccabe-step-down-early By: Edward Helmore Helmore starts directly with a short rundown of the events and then goes into the full story using very concrete, informative diction. Helmore made it clear to not include his emotions in the article only those of the people involved in the story. He kept a direct, impartial tone which created an appeal to ethos since he made sure to maintain credibility by not mixing his emotions into those of Drivers or other commenters in the article's story. The article had a very strong appeal to pathos when including the argument that all sexual harassment is bad and that all women have experienced some form of harassment and no man should say one is worse than another. Helmore including these statements and another statement of other women who have talked out about sexual harassment and the pain and discomfort felt from that is felt through this article. This article includes all of that emotion to create a strong argument of how a man knows nothing about what a woman endures. And Helmore created this article to talk and bring to light this argument that men do not deserve a say in how women should feel about their sexual harassment. Men should be the ones to also stand up against the cruel big men and say what they do is wrong and deserve a punishment. To me, this article appeared to be a light at the end of a tunnel for women that there are other women who are fighting for justice. Helmore framed his argument by giving a brief background then talking about the main statements that created the issue, and what was the actual story after that while including exact statements from the individual that made the story happen.
By Robin McKie
McKie writes to inform so he maintained a scholarly diction throughout the article. McKie has no set emotion when he writes about the endangerment of the whales, he only focuses on providing information. This diction gives way to the author having a forthright tone he maintains himself detached from anything that isn't real statements and facts. McKie appeals to ethos by establishing the credibility of each of his statements he included he also includes exact locations and names to make sure his audience knows his information is credible. He wants his readers to trust he is giving them the correct information. Whale endangerment of the "right" whales is a serious matter and he wants to be a credible source when people research this topic. McKie wanted to inform his audience on how the "right" whale endangerment took a turn for a worse and how these ship traps are affecting several whales. McKie elaborated by including information of situations where whales where found losing weight all weak because they were hauling around the big, heavy traps they accidentally got into. By: Paul Greene and Joshua Gordon In the article, the writers keep a formal diction, which they use to establish their emotional detachment from the subject. Although they keep an ambivalent tone since they cannot establish an opinion. They include background information to the event so they can inform their readers. They use words like 'could' and 'but' to establish their uncertainty into this blind coin toss of what will happen to Kaepernick. Including information on contracts and they include definitions to appeals to those who know little of the NFL. In order to have a larger outreach, they include all the necessary information to make the situation understandable. The purpose of both authors was to inform that Kaepernick had a bigger purpose for his actions and he still has one for his retaliation. He continues to fight this to prove his point. Now whether they support him is not certain. Although for sure they have gathered enough information that for Kaepernick will be able to play again for the NFL. In the article the authors use ethos they establish their credibility to the knowledge they have provided through their careers and education of the NFL and all of its technicalities. They also appeal to pathos when they include that Kaepernick took a knee during the national anthem as a protest to what he believes to be unfair treatment. They include this to talk about a subject that is very emotional for many. Their overall argument is done through the appeals, that Kaepernick may not get his job back but if he gets the evidence he needs he will receive millions of dollars but that is not the point since he does is for justice. The article was structured like a question and answer outline, this made it appear to the point direct including what was the need for background first then going onto what was occurring at the moment and finally the purpose to Kaepernick's actions. Together the authors created a solid argument that may have included some uncertain statements which they covered with information and background.
www.theguardian.com/sport/2017/oct/16/colin-kaepernick-lawsuit-nfl-explained By Lauren Gambino
Gambino went head first into the subject she kept a formal tone to create credibility that the information she provides you is accurate. Gambino makes sure she maintains detached emotional from the subject in order to inform her audience. The article had a Candid tone Gambino demonstrated this in her article whilst laying down real testimony. But the most outstanding aspect of the article were the appeals to both logos and pathos. Logos, because Gambino had to state the numerous, precious, and tedious details of what Daca is and what lengths Trump has gone to end it, she uses this so she is able to create a subtle opinion in the article. And pathos, she included testimony of a ‘Dreamer’ who talked about America being her home and how afraid she was to leave it. Lauren Gambino needed to inform her audience of the program that gave hope to those undocumented students who wished to continue their education. Her purpose of this article was to inform of what Daca coming to an end really meant and what is taking place because of it. Gambino starts the article informing you of the situation and then slowly developing the fact that ending Daca is a heartless act affecting thousands, she ends on a hopeful note informing that the ‘Dreamers’ will stand up and speak. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/06/paul-ryan-says-dreamers-should-rest-easy-over-expiring-daca-policy |
