2/27/2018 "Nikolas Cruz's mother paid $50,000 to adopt him from his drug addict birth mom - then later bought younger brother Zachary for $15,000"Read NowAuthorThis article is written by Emily Crane. The 36 year old happens to be the project manager and sub editor of the daily mail. Crane work can be seen in the Daily Mail, New Zealand Herald, Time Out New York, Arizona Republic, OZY, Hotel Management (Australia), AZCentral.com, Time Out Melbourme. Wilkinson loves BRFC cricket and music, has 2 daughters, and a wife who he has been married to since 2003. ABOUT THE ARTICLE The purpose of this article was to provide the audience with more background information on the shooter of Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School in Parkland, Florida. The audience for this article is anybody who has heard about the Florida shootings and who was affected by the shootings to allow them to learn more about the school shooter. Emily used secondary information from an old neighbor of Nikolas' who described how the shooter acted as a child, who his biological mother was, and how Nikolas ended up with his adopted family.
While reading the article, Crane used a combination of an earnest, a didactic, and a reverent tone which allowed the reader how amazing the Salchert family is in what they doing. The earnest tone comes out when Brantley says things like, "Though it may seem like constant heartbreak to love children who are eventually going to die, caring for them has given Cori the opportunity to heal from her own personal pain." it shows that the family is being sincere in what they are doing. That statement makes the reader realize that the family is not for the publicity but for the love of it. Didactic helps the reader understand why and what the Cori, the mother, and her family are doing. One example of this is when Kayla says, "When Cori was four years old, her infant sister named Aime contracted spinal meningitis, causing brain damage that left her blind and suffering from seizures. When the family was no longer able to care for her, Aime was sent to a home for disabled children at five years old. At 11-years-old she wandered outside through an unlocked door and drowned in a pond.", which helps explain why the family does what they do. The author seems to have so much respect for the Salchert family for what they do. That can be shown when Kayla Brantley says, "[Cori] decided that no disabled child should live without a family and said that the heartbreak she experienced early on gave her strength to love these sick kids." . Ethos is the main appeal used in the article. Emily Crane establish this article on the words of Trish Devany, a friend of the family of Nikolas, and the information Trish provided. In the article Emily used quotes from Devany; " 'Both children were born after one-night stands. She didn't even really know who the two biological fathers were' ". The text is not the only place were ethos is apparent, the images that Crane provided are also an appeal to ethos. The pictures are from Getty Image, Facebook, EPA, Instagram, and Google. The video that was published with the article is also an an appeal to ethos since it comes from footage from inside the court. Ethos is not the only appeal used, although as stated it is a main one, the other appeals such as logos is also a contributor of the establishment of this article. Logos is prevalent when Emily is talking about where Nikolas was growing up as well as when she is describing his behavior. Pathos is not an appeal that the author used to build up the article.

2/1/2018 "Schizophrenic Slenderman stabber, 15, weeps as she is sentenced to 40 years in a mental institution for stabbing her 12-year-old friend 19 times after a sleepover"Read NowAUTHOR This article is written by Jennifer Smith, who has been a news reporter for Daily Mail for over a two years. While attending the University of Edinburgh, Smith was working as a features desk assistant for The Telegraph for four months. After graduating in 2013, Jennifer became a news reporter for the Evening Standard from March of 2014 to June of 2014. She immediately went to South West New Service after her job at the Evening Standard and became a news reporter there for four months. Smith's job at the Daily Mail started in September of 2015 in which she was the show business reporter/assistant show business editor. A year later, in November of 2016, she became a news reporter. Jennifer Smith now lives in New York City pursuing her career. ABOUT THE ARTICLE The purpose of this article from Jennifer, was to update on the "Slenderman killing case". After 3 years from the attempt of murder and a year after the partner in crime got sentenced, Morgan Geyser got sentenced to 40 years in a mental institute. Morgan Geyser was the main criminal in the attempt to kill Payton Leutner, she had said the Slenderman, a fictional character off a game, had convinced her that she had to kill one of her best friends to save her own family. Geyser then convinced Anissa Weier that she had to help kill Payton or Anissa's family will also suffer. The case has been going on for 3 years, last year, however, Anissa got sentenced to 25 years in a mental institute. Both Morgan and Anissa were diagnosed with schizophrenia, but Morgan having a more extreme case. The article was written to give people who had been following the case or heard about the case a, hopefully, last update about it.
While reading the article, Kayla used a combination of an earnest, a didactic, and a reverent tone which allowed the reader how amazing the Salchert family is in what they doing. The earnest tone comes out when Brantley says things like, "Though it may seem like constant heartbreak to love children who are eventually going to die, caring for them has given Cori the opportunity to heal from her own personal pain." it shows that the family is being sincere in what they are doing. That statement makes the reader realize that the family is not for the publicity but for the love of it. Didactic helps the reader understand why and what the Cori, the mother, and her family are doing. One example of this is when Kayla says, "When Cori was four years old, her infant sister named Aime contracted spinal meningitis, causing brain damage that left her blind and suffering from seizures. When the family was no longer able to care for her, Aime was sent to a home for disabled children at five years old. At 11-years-old she wandered outside through an unlocked door and drowned in a pond.", which helps explain why the family does what they do. The author seems to have so much respect for the Salchert family for what they do. That can be shown when Kayla Brantley says, "[Cori] decided that no disabled child should live without a family and said that the heartbreak she experienced early on gave her strength to love these sick kids." . Ethos is a huge appeal in the article as well as pathos. In the article Jennifer credits certain people in the case including the judge and doctors who helped finalize the horrific situation that took place 3 years ago; " 'She is an emphatic kind, compassionate and bright young woman who is very remorseful about what has taken place' psychiatrist Kenneth Robbins told the court.", "They were called on by the defense team who pleaded with Judge Micheal Bohren not to keep [Morgan] in an institution.", both quotes are given credit to those people as well as the article so that the readers are insured that they are reading a good article that is credible. Pathos can be found when Jennifer recalls what Morgan and Anissa's mother had said about their daughters before all this happened as well as the progress that Morgan has had from her mental health, which the defense tried to use to get her out of an institution. "On Wednesday, [Morgan's] mother and Anissa's mother both repeated their earlier claims that there were no warning signs that either of their daughters was violent ... Morgan and Payton were friends, according to Morgan's mother, and acted like 'typical' tweens. 'They [Morgan and Payton] would sit up in Morgan's room and they would do each other's nails and they would laugh, and make a mess. They were just typical girls', Angie Geyser told ABC ... 'I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I never would have imagined that my daughter was capable of hurting another person,' [Angie] said. By putting that readers can feel what it would be like if that were their daughter and are reminded that it could happen to anyone. When talking about the progress of Morgan's mental health, the reader can feel the pain the Morgan must of felt going that far and doing that good to getting better all to go back and keep doing it for 40 years. "[Kenneth Robbins] said that there had been a 'dramatic turnaround' since [Morgan] was arrested ...". 12/21/2017 "Mother-of-eight describes constant heartbreak of adopting and fostering dying 'hospice babies' to love and care for them until their death"Read NowAUTHOR This article is written by Kayla Brantley.

She was on the Dean's List, got awarded the Academic Excellence Award and the Henry Rutgers Scholar Award, and got the Kenneth Q. & Viola W. Jennings Memorial Scholarship. ABOUT THE ARTICLE The purpose of this article from Kayla, was to was tell people the great things that the Salchert's do to those who do not have a lot. It could have possibly been to spread holiday cheer and happiness since it was published so close to the holidays. The article was written with anyone and everyone from anywhere and everywhere in mind to help them get in the spirit. Brantley used past experiences from the family and current situations that is happening to them, as well as using quotes used on interviews from the mother to build the story.
While reading the article, Kayla used a combination of an earnest, a didactic, and a reverent tone which allowed the reader how amazing the Salchert family is in what they doing. The earnest tone comes out when Brantley says things like, "Though it may seem like constant heartbreak to love children who are eventually going to die, caring for them has given Cori the opportunity to heal from her own personal pain." it shows that the family is being sincere in what they are doing. That statement makes the reader realize that the family is not for the publicity but for the love of it. Didactic helps the reader understand why and what the Cori, the mother, and her family are doing. One example of this is when Kayla says, "When Cori was four years old, her infant sister named Aime contracted spinal meningitis, causing brain damage that left her blind and suffering from seizures. When the family was no longer able to care for her, Aime was sent to a home for disabled children at five years old. At 11-years-old she wandered outside through an unlocked door and drowned in a pond.", which helps explain why the family does what they do. The author seems to have so much respect for the Salchert family for what they do. That can be shown when Kayla Brantley says, "[Cori] decided that no disabled child should live without a family and said that the heartbreak she experienced early on gave her strength to love these sick kids." . Pathos is prevalent in the article, along with ethos. Unlike those to appeals logos is not used in the article. The appeal to pathos is seen everywhere in the article, from explaining what the family does to how they got to where they are. In the second sentence Kayla states that "Cori Salchert, 51, and her husband Mark have taken in what she calls 'hospice babies' to provide them with love and medical support as a way of coping with the tragic loss of Cori's special needs sister at a young age." to build up what the article is about. Every sentence is an appeal to pathos, including the sentence before when it says, " A mother-of-eight has fostered and adopted seven terminally-ill children in the last four years to care for them as they prepare to die.", if that does not get you emotional I do not know what will. Brantley uses quotes from Cori when was interviewing the Today show, People magazine, even Cori to appeal to ethos. "Cori has set up a website and Facebook page called Safe Haven 4 Babies where she blogs about her journey of caring for the special needs babies and provides resources on how or adopt or foster." also appeals to ethos by stating Cori's website and what it does. 11/27/2017 "'This beautiful woman tripped and fell into my life': Lovestruck Harry reveals how he went down on one knee and surprised Meghan by proposing as they cooked roast chicken in his cottage - and how she said 'yes' straight away"Read NowAUTHOR This article is written by Mark Duell. This 27 year-old, "very tall" journalist, from "Leigh-on-Sea" and works in his home located in London. He graduated from Westcliff High School for Boys in 2007, and graduated from University of Sheffield in 2010. As soon as he graduated from the university he also become a journalist in August for Daily Mail. Along with being a journalist, Mark is also a self proclaimed "football fanatic" for Southend and Newcastle United. ABOUT THE ARTICLE The purpose of this article that Mark had written was to inform everyone that Prince Harry of London is engaged to Meghan Markle, a U.S. citizen. The article was written with an audience who live in London in mind, since they have the greatest impacted on the article, as well as people all over the world to inform them with the big news. With the wedding coming up, that means that London will have a new Dutch and a big change in the monarch. Duell used the first interview of the couple talking about the engagement, which is becoming world-wide known. The interview told of details that led up the "big question" and the plans for the future of the young couple. Mark Duell used the interview to help guide the article and was used it on multiple occasions for information.
Didactic and a little bit of haughty tones are present in the article. As Mark informed and educated the reader on what happened in the article and in the relationship of the couple, didactic tone could clearly be seen. "It was also revealed that Prince Harry had sought the permission of both of Miss Markle's parents, but that he has not yet met her father Thomas, having only spoken to him on the phone.", Mark told the reader that Prince Harry asked his fiance's parents for permission, yet also educated them on how many times the parents and the Prince had actually talked and how ironic it was. A little haughty tone with a hint of an earnest tone peaked from the London native when he wrote about how Meghan "will most probably become HRH the Duchess of Sussex, if Harry is made the Duke of Sussex by the Queen on the morning of his wedding." and both would live "in Harry's current home, Nottingham Cottage at Kensington Palace, and Miss Markle will become an HRH and a senior royal.", since he lives in London, Mark will be one of the millions of people effected by the marriage, and it seems like he is proud and sincere of the upcoming change. There are all three appeals in the article. Ethos can clearly be seen throughout, with all the quotes from the interview, a broadcast about the interview, the interview itself, pictures of the interview and the couple together, a transcript of the interview, and other quotes from other articles. Logos could be seen, and you do not even know that you are seeing it, the interview itself is acted as a appeal to ethos and logos. It appeals to logos because it was a Daily Mail symbol on it. Along with the interview there is a broadcast on the interview by the Daily Mail, which also has the symbol on it, it has the proper names and rankings of the royal people talked about and future ones to come. Mark Duell even put a section of the article about the person who actually interviewed the two, and how she was handpicked by the Prince. Pathos is only seen slightly when the author talks about the ring and Prince Harry's late mother. It obviously was a touchy topic for the couple and billions of people who were heartbroken by the news of the death of Princess Diana. 10/18/2017 "Police hunt for 'armed and dangerous' killer who shot dead three co-workers at a Baltimore granite company and injured two others before driving to Delaware and opening fire on another man at a used car lot"Read NowAUTHOR This article is written by James Wilkinson. The 58 year old happens to be the project manager and sub editor of the daily mail. James' work can be seen in the Daily Mail, New Zealand Herald, Time Out New York, Arizona Republic, OZY, Hotel Management (Australia), AZCentral.com, Time Out Melbourme. Wilkinson loves BRFC cricket and music, has 2 daughters, and a wife who he has been married to since 2003. ABOUT THE ARTICLE The purpose of this article that James wrote was to warn and inform the readers about some killings that had happened in Baltimore and Delaware. James uses information from the events that lead up to the situation from the cops and primary resources that knew the suspect. To write about the events that happened during the situation was given from cops and witnesses who saw it all unfold. The audience would primarily be those who live around the Baltimore and Delaware areas where the killings had happened. On top of those people the article would be those in surrounding areas and states, since the suspect is still on the run.
During the article James' combination of didactic, forthright, and gloomy tone allowed the reader to understand how badly the situation was and what happened. His didactic tone is seen in sentence like, "Police said Radee Labeeb Prince, 38, opened fire at 8:58 am at Advanced Granite Solutions in Emmorton Business Park, Edgewood, WBALTV11 reported. It's located around 20 miles northeast of central Baltimore, Maryland." which educates and instructs the reader what happened, where it happened, and when it happened. "He said Prince and the man shot at the Wilmington auto shop has a 'history and beefs' with Prince over 'some past history on some criminal cases'. He added that Prince had been arrested 42 times in Delaware, most;y on parole violations, had been convicted of 15 felony counts and four misdemeanors in 2003." this forthright tone is straightforward with no hesitation from James. James mixes a gloomy tone by saying, "They found five people wounded, two of whom died on the scene, with a third dying later. Two others are hospitalized- one in critical conditions and another in serious conditions." which was a sad thing to put in the article and write about, because nobody likes to hear or talk about another person dying. The appeals to ethos, logos, and pathos is evident throughout the article. Ethos can be seen through the people that James had gathered information from, including co-workers of Prince, police officers that had spoken about the events, Princes' landlord, schools, and eye witnesses of the event. As for logos, it is seen when James talks about how many people had died in the shootings, the car Prince had used, the times this all happened, the places, and the events that took place during all of it. Pathos is not written in the article but it is still there due to the pictures that James contributes. The pictures of scenes and people giving grief has to do with emotions. 10/2/2017 "TEXAS HIGH SCHOOL FOOTBALL PLAYERS ARE KICKED OFF THEIR TEAM FOR PROTESTING DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM"Read NowAUTHOR This article is written by Emily Crane. She has written multiple article within the 25 years she has been an publisher for The Daily Mail, Slate, Foreign Policy Magazine, New Zealand Herald, Roads and Kingdoms, etc. Emily lives in Sydney, Australia and likes to write about foreign politics, mostly about our current President Donald Trump. ABOUT THE ARTICLE The purpose of this article that Emily has written, is to show and address the increasing problem between Trump and the NFL Organization has grown to smaller places in the United States. Emily uses quotes from primary resources and background information about why and how the story happened so the intended audience understands the all of it. The audience being Americans, especially those who like football and politics or both.
During the article Emily's article her didactic tone can be seen throughout. Her didactic tone is seen when she writes things like, "Cedric Ingram-Lewis and his cousin Larry McCullough, who play for Two Victory and Praise Christian Academy in Crosby.." or even "It comes after more than 200 NFL players and coaches have taken a knee during the national anthem over the past two weeks." Both educate and instruct the reader why what happened had happened and who was involved. Along with didactic tone Emily also shows formal diction. She shows this by writing, "...the Houston Chronicle reports.", which gives what Emily says some credit. Credit can also be seen with the quotes she adds of the men involved with in the article and " 'He told us that disrespect will not be tolerated,' Ingram-Lewis said.", " 'That was my point of view,' Mitchem said.". The appeal of not only ethos but pathos as well is evident. Ethos can be seen with the quotes from Ronnie Mitchem, the coach, and Cedric Ingram-Lewis, one of the players, with the claims that the Houston Chronicle reported by giving them credit along with Emily Crane. The pathos can be seen when Crane including this statement, "[Ronnie Mitchem] added that he supported players protesting- just not during the national anthem. Mitchem said he told them they could kneel after a touchdown in the end zone or hand out flyers." This whole article is based on two boys from Ronnie's team doing what they believed in after being told how their coach felt about the situation and what might happen if they did it, yet they still did what they believed in as well as the Mitchem |
