In an attempt to appeal to the audience’s emotion, Brown presents information that influences the audience on an emotional level and helps them connect with the article from a personal aspect. Stating what was seen upon finding the women, Brown writes, “Both Patterson and Brown had their throats slit; the other bodies were in too advanced a state of decomposition to determine the cause of death, though the coroner often suspected asphyxia. The victims were mired in poverty and mental illness; and all had hustled Jennings’ south side streets for drugs and sex.” After reading this it creates a graphic image in the readers mind and allows the reader to be able to imagine what it would feel like to walk in the room and picture people with their throats slit. By visualizing what’s going on in this specific part of the article the reader can then imagine themselves or someone they love being in that same position. Another instance that appeals to the readers emotions is when in an interview with witness, Jerry Jackson, Brown

Earlier on in in his article, Thornburgh states that “There were plenty of deaths there, but they were meek tragedies” when talking about the beheading that had been rumored to be going on in the desert (Gooch 325). What Thornburgh is talking about is the fact that there are rumors going on about immigrants being beheaded in the desert, but in truth they are being abandoned by their guides. Thornburgh is attempting to say that the rumors of beheading are not true and that the rumors have led to more violence. However he comes off as dismissive towards the lives that were lost as unimportant, which would throw someone off reading his paper if they disagreed with that sentiment. Thornburgh is trying to dismiss the idea of rumors, and in the same sentence is also dismissing the event itself and writing it off as if it wasn’t that big of a deal. This contradicts himself seeing as his whole point within the argument seems to be about the fact that these rumors lead to the violence happening. The thing he is most dismissive about, however, is the need for statistics.

The appeal of pathos is used in this article to evoke the emotions of the readers. There's different kinds of emotions the readers can feel from reading this article. she uses examples to strengthen the main idea and also to bring out the emotion. In the beginning of her Introduction she uses the word "slaughter" which reveals a terrifying scene on the reader's mind. She then gives examples of the type of crime juvenile committed, murdering, raping, and assaulting someone with harmful weapon.

Much like “The Deadliest Virus,” this essay uses pathos most effectively. The essay appeals to the emotions in the beginning with the narrative of Joosten’s death. Quammen made the opening appeal on a personal level as he described the vacation as if the reader were there, then subtly informs the reader Joosten has died from Marburg. Ethos and logos are not near as present as in Specters’ essay, but this is likely due to the target audience and purpose. For this essay, the purpose seems to be more informative than attention grabbing as audience of Popular Science Magazine is much different than that of The New Yorker.

Far too often the news is full of crime and death. Some authors take these crimes and turn them into stories. Truman Capote did this in his novel In Cold Blood, a story about the mass murder of a family. Similarly, Brett Logiurato and Henry Blodget wrote an article, “Boston Massacre” for Business Insider telling the story of the Boston Bombing and the terrorist hunt thereafter. In both “Boston Massacre” and In Cold Blood the authors use comparable writing techniques to tell the story and create suspense, yet they remain unique from one another to best accommodate their stories..

mother’s death I can remember everyone who was in the stands that day...” This reference to the narrator’s vivid memory and the detailed depiction of the event shows the gravity of the situation and allows the reader to fully grasp the impact that the accident had on both the protagonist and the narrator. This act of bizarre violence is used masterfully in the author’s recount of his life. It shows how hard it is for a young boy to lose the only parent he ever knew and it also shows how hard it is for a child to be implicated in an event where someone close to the child has been unintentionally killed.

Humans are conditioned to believe that murderers deserve punishments decreed by the justice system, with their days numbered, meaning to be spent in misery, as they wrongfully extinguished the lives of others. However, while murder is never acceptable, it is necessary to analyze the story, often rooted in trauma, of how a murderer came to be, which naturally can evoke compassion within the reader. Truman Capote’s In Cold Blood provides a look at a man who had a troubling childhood and adult life, ultimately arousing sympathy for Perry Smith. Perry lived through a hard childhood, and was deprived of many things every child should receive. Although Perry is portrayed as a cold hearted killer, readers can still find sympathy in their hearts for him.

All around the world, society pushes people to become who they are. Whether it is a trend or a way of life, those people get to choose how they want respond to society. This develops the person's traits and allows other people to understand why they act the way they do. With character development comes maturity, realization and a path away from society’s norms. The same idea is shown throughout the books The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee, House on Mango Street by Sandra Cisneros, and Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Jeannette Walls believes society’s influence is more helpful to character development because it allows the characters to form around this idea of society and decide how they want to

He first emphasizes how ample and bright the place is. He also narrates how there are “poisonous particles… as motes in sun-beams, into the lungs” (40). He expresses how suffocating this place is with a cough (14). The fact that the women don’t cough and are “used to it” is like saying they don’t breathe anymore. He describes the women as the “blank-looking girls, with blank, white folders in their blank hands” (12). He portrays these women as cadavers being preserved in this cold place, like a morgue. He says, “…face pale with work, and blue with cold; an eye supernatural with unrelated misery” (11). He is intentionally making the reader feel they are dead alive through the description of a physical death, then a social and emotional death.

Lamotts word choice was inaffective to the authors purpose and audience, and made the article difficult to read. The word choice was blunt and dull. Here’s one example, “we are one groggy, cranky, sleep-deprived population.” Nicely scripted but blunt, who is the “we” she is talking about? It is her generation? Is it my generation, or is it just everyone nowadays? We don’t know. Another example is, “Here’s the worst news: as you head towards your death.” Once again quite blunt and dull. As you can see from these examples the authors word choices where blunt and inaffect. But with the words she does use and how she used them, the article is just a bunch of facts she restated, put into her own words. For examples if you read the Risking Life

For many years, some people would say dealing with the death of a loved one can be hard. In today’s society, many people have dealt with that pain. Even though individuals can respond differently dealing with the murder of a loved one but taking justice into your own hands can relieve the pain that it has caused on the family. Why it is that death can cause so much pain to the ones we love? Using the biographical and psychological critical strategies to analyze “Killings”. Focusing on Andre Dubus past how is it connected with the story and psychological strategy of the mind of someone who is hurt by death.

This state of denial can be prominently depicted within Szymborska’s poem, “Identification.” The poem presents a chronological experience of a woman's developing emotions as she rejects the fact that her husband had past away. The false sense of security resides within this poem, as the repetition of “it’s good you came,” presumably attempts to formulate a positive motif throughout the morbid poem(1, 17, 23). The comfort of others conceals the genuine emotion of loneliness, as the death of a loved one creates a false sense of reality; therefore, the constant reminder that someone else was with the recipient of the bad news, reminds them that they are not completely alone in the world. Furthermore, the sense of denial is continued through the hope of objects just being ordinary, such as, “ a scrap of shirt, a watch, [and] a wedding ring.” Szymborska uses this asyndeton in order to create a sense of irony, as the objects become more specific as the “names on that ring” (10); nevertheless, this creates a false sense of comfort for the aspect that anyone could own these objects, in which portrays the yearning for a confirmation that the speaker’s loved one was not affiliated with this tragedy. Szymborska’s use of the euphemism, “rubber sleeping bag,” facilitates the endeavor to maintain the attempted positive motif, despite the “rubber sleeping bag” referring to a body bag (24). The body bag provides a false sense of a lighthearted connotation of a “sleeping bag” to being the cruel reality of death. Throughout “Identification,” Szymborska mocks the oblivion and denial of the woman despite the morbid context of the poem. Through this method Szymborska further implies that one should face reality. Precisely as society should not be dictated without truly analyzing the true intention of

Being inadvertent and vulnerable Death being the centralizing component to this story, the most important event of Being Dead by Jim Crace is the main character's tragic murder. This incident is the sole basis of the story, and rightfully sets the meaning of the work as a whole. This moment illuminates the prevalence of human vulnerability, proves how short life really is, as well as exhibits the failure of permanence. Without this episode, the story would cease to exist.
