Silva wrote another article on Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, the first Latina woman elected to Congress, who will be retiring. Once again, Silva's writing style shines through, using a neutral diction and light tone to describe Ros-Lehtinen's reasons for retirement. Silva seems somewhat respectful and reflective of Ros-Lehtinen's retirement, using quotes that express that the congresswoman is not leaving on bad terms or leaving because of President Trump's election. She appeals to the audience's ethos, showcasing Ros-Lehtinen's character with her dialogue and a tweet from House Speaker Paul Ryan. Ryan praised Ros-Lehtinen and states his enjoyment working with her in Congress. Silva, like in her article on Trump and North Korea, is intent on informing the audience and allowing them to have a neutral set of facts to make their own conclusions, which is very respectable and a writing style that I enjoy. By writing this article, Silva also pays respect to Ros-Lehtinen, making sure that the public knows her reasons for leaving and her sincerity as the first Latina woman elected to congress. Silva uses quotes from her interview with the Miami Herald and information given to NBC News.

Petra Cahill writes an article about China's call for restraint to North Korea, the U.S., and all other parties involving North Korean tensions. Cahill shows President Xi Jinping as a dominating force and his authoritative voice hints the severity of the situation. Cahill appeals to the audience's pathos by intense descriptions of the tensions between the U.S., China and North Korea. She shows the complexity of the situation and her views towards President Trump are lightly expressed. Cahill acknowledges President Trump's reckless way of approaching this diplomatic issue and how China has awaken in thought. They realize that reckless behavior can lead to a devastating domino effect of wars and possible nuclear extinction. Unlike other news sources, Cahill is not afraid or opposed to the idea that President Trump can be dangerous and that is what she is trying to convey to the audience. Her tone and use of information towards the end of the article reels in the audience with a serious claim that tensions could go awry at any point. This article is sobering compared to the sensationalized articles on Donald Trump and his anomalies. |
