The article, "Monster Hunter World is More Than A Sequel- It's A Resurgence" is written by Julie Muncy. It was published January 30th 2018. The article is written to get gaming fans excited for the newly released "Monster Hunter World" game for the PS4 and Xbox One. The write uses a hyped up tone to show that she really cares about the game and didn;t right about it just for show. She also uses a strong appeal to logos by using comparisons to other video games to come up with a logical conclusion about how she will feel about Monster Hunter World once she is finished with the game. Lastly, the uses a casual form of diction in order to get the point across that she is playing the game for fun and doesn't have to be professional about it.
The author uses a very cheery tone when talking about the game. It shows that she is as excited as all of the other fans, but the game still is important to her specifically. She talks about the super specific parts of the game showing that she has gone really in depth with the game further than the point one would go when just writing an article. This shows the reader that the writer is very invested in the game and doesn't just care about it for the sake of writing. The author appeals to ethos throughout nearly the entire article with the goal of helping the reader be able to picture what the game is like if they don't own it, and to help people who do own the game compare it to something else so they have an experience similar to what they are about to play, therefore making it easier. She uses it especially well when comparing Monster Hunter to games like Persona 5 and Nier: Automata in order for the player to have some idea of what the other game was like and how the features carry over to Monster Hunter. The authors purpose of the article is to 1: get the audience excited about Monster Hunter if they don't already own it, and 2: give the players a comparison between games so they can know what to expect when playing the game, and to make the game much easier for them since they will be on comfortable ground. I think the author did a very good job getting her claim across. My friends and I are planning on getting Monster Hunter for the PC when it comes out later this year and this article helped to make things even more exciting. The author opens her argument by first talking about how Monster Hunter World is different from its original predecessor Monster Hunter. She makes sure to mention the new monsters and upgraded graphics a lot. She then explains the multiplayer aspect which is the main selling point of the new monster hunter. Finally, she compares it to other games made by similar developers so the gamers have some idea of what to expect. The authors use of a cheery tone, and appeal to logos, and a noticeable self interest in the game helps to prove her argument to the audience about why the $60 dollars that the game costs will be well worth the money.

She appeals mainly to ethos, citing specific events about the process both Google and MIT used, although she uses casual diction to make sure said processes are easy to understand.
The author uses a very intrigued tone showing that she cares about the entire Artificial Intelligence process, and how it was bypassed. This allows the reader to be able to enjoy the contents of the article as much as the author does. You can really tell how much she is interested when she is talking about the many various pixel tests that MIT conducted where they changed the pixels of a picture while keeping the objects in the photo in tact to bypass the system. The author appeals to ethos through the whole article. She begins the article by explaining Google's definition about what AI is and what it should do. She then goes into what the AI is actually capable of doing, and some mistakes it had previously made in the past that were released by Google. This helps her in her next explanation where she talks about the initial intent of the MIT researchers and how they planned to bypass the system. Finally she shows the results of what happened during the tests. All of these examples are from qualified sources, and help to assure the authors credibility. The authors purpose of the article is to 1: help the reader understand what AI is and how it works, and 2: explain why AI isn't as technically advanced as we think it may be, and how it may be bypassed.

He also mainly appeals to ethos citing specific events and facts that show how the missile has been , and could be launched. He also uses high diction to make sure the specific elements are explained exactly as they are.
The author uses a very aware tone showing that he understands the severity of the problem, specifically explaining the whole process behind North Korea's sudden acquiring of their missile, how it works, and what could happen if it were to strike. However, the author also shows a tone that reflects his interest in how the missile works by not focusing on how the missile could devastate us, but more of how the missile works and the history behind it. The author appeals to ethos throughout almost the entire article with the goal of helping the audience understand how the missile functions and what exactly it could do to the US if it strikes. He especially uses it when he is explaining that it is very similar to a missile, "Hwasong-14" which was used to calculate the potential damage that would be done to the US. Ethos was also used to explain President Trump's stance on the problem, saying "President Trump may feel he's got to do something. Whatever that might be could be proactive." Showing how the President is aware of the problem and knows that something needs to be done to protect his citizens. The author's purpose of the article is to 1: inform the audience of potential danger and how North Korea might use the missile, and 2: to explain to the audience how the missile functions, and how devastating the damage may be. These both are effective because either way, the audience learns about North Korea's military relations with the US and how President Trump will be reacting to it, or how the missile works so that they know what to expect if we do happen to have a problematic incident. The author opens his argument by first talking about the fact that North Korea has access to a powerful missile that could reach any part of the US he makes sure to mention how the President reacted to the situation to prove to the audience that they are in good hands. Then he goes into the specifics about how the missile is made, and what it could destroy by using a similar model as an example. Finally he rounds everything us by making sure that the audience isn't in a panic and just needs to be knowledgeable about what to do. The authors use of an aware yet interested tone, an appeal to ethos, and an interest in missiles helps to create an argument about what the readers should be wary for when it comes to North Korea, and how President Trump will try to deal with it.

The article, "Say Goodbye to The Blob. Google's New Emoji have arrived" is written by Elizabeth Stinson. It was published on September 1st 2017. The article was written in response to the anticipated wait for the redesigned google emojis. The writer uses a very cheerful and delighted tone due to the positive change to the emojis and mainly appeals to ethos to increase her credibility. She also uses high diction to make sure that what she is saying comes across clearly.
The author uses a very positive tone throughout the article. It shows that she is clearly happy that Google has ditched the emojis that look, "... Roundly amorphous, like cookie dough plopped onto a baking sheet." This allows the audience to realize how genuine the author is about her subject, no matter how insignificant something as emojis can be. It also fits the subject matter. It would be a lot less interesting to read an article about emojis with a boring tone to it. The author appeals to pathos throughout nearly the entire article with the goal of increasing her credibility. She uses it especially well when doing the history section of her article not only to help her get her point across but to give people the opportunity to see for themselves what made the emojis before what they are today, and why Google decided to make the switch.

She introduces the purpose right form the start by talking about how unappealing the old emojis were and how glad she personally is about Google's decision to change them. I think that the author's purpose was presented phenomenally, but was very biased in some parts. This may be somewhat of a turn off for readers who were fans of Google's previous emojis. The author discusses her argument by first talking about the fact that google changed their emojis, then by explaining the history behind emojis in general. Then she talks about why Google's emojis were becoming a problem and needed a necessary change. Finally, she talks about why the new emojis are better than the older ones. She also subtlety sprinkles her own opinion into each part. Evidence-wise she uses many different quotes and sources from many different places to support her claims. Most of her evidence is simply other articles talking about what she wants to get across, so it is efficient for her to write and easy for the reader to click on if they want to find out more about what she was trying to say. Every piece of evidence she used was very strong and straight to the point so there were no places throughout the paper where her argument was truly weak. She was able to back up every claim she made including her own opinions by sharing the thoughts and works of others. The authors use of a positive tone, an appeal to ethos, and very solid evidence helps immensely to create an argument informing the reader on why Google's change to their emojis was a good idea, while backing up the authors personal opinion. |
