Rebecca Keegan's article Did Hollywood Agents Help Harvey Weinstein?, starts off with a conversational tone show when she says "Hello from Los Angeles, where agencies and actresses are opening up about a once-taboo topic" (paragraph 2). This is used to convey a tone of anger or annoyance. As her article progresses, Keegan appeals to ethos by using a quote from an agent in Hollywood. Shown in paragraph 4, the agent states “I wish I knew,” one female agent at a top agency said. “I would have reported him. I would have confronted him. I wouldn’t have let it continue. It makes me angry that I didn’t know" (paragraph 4). The quote helps to give insight into what most agents said about Harvey Weinstein. Keegan writes this to initially spread awareness about how Hollywood agencies helped Harvey Weinstein throughout the years .

In this article, Bess Levin writes about how Trump enjoys exploiting Africa. She shows this through her appeal to pathos and this is seen when she writes, "the president is presumably seething with impotent rage about not being able to get in on all the sweet, sweet business opportunities his buddies are exploiting in Africa" (paragraph 1). Levin writes this to evoke an angry emotion inside of her audience. Her tone is displayed contemptuously and berates Trump for his colonialist tone" (paragraph 1). Levin also shows this when she writes, "Following his maniacal speech on Tuesday at the United Nations" (paragraph 2). This beginning sentence not only gives insight into the rest of the paragraph's bias, but it also depicts her argument for the rest of the article. Levin writes this article to inform the people how Trump views African countries and ultimately she writes this to show how Trump handles foreign affairs |
