Dana Stevens writes an article on the new release movie "Taken 2". She begins her essay retelling the story behind the first Taken, restating the most famous lines said thought the movie. She continues to explain how many people when watching Taken were amused by the character; Liam Neeson, and how well he played his role. She even uses the words "…thereby proving himself the best dad." which for those who watched the movie most defiantly agree. Stevens explains that Neeson had to go though a whole lot to get his daughter back, but nothing made him stop. After giving many paragraphs explaining Taken she says that Taken 2 was nothing of what she expected, the movie has the same features and background as the first did, the only difference is instead of kidnaping his daughter, they kidnap him and his ex-wife. Stevens shows a very disappointing tone when talking about the movie, but also has a very happy tone when saying that there were moments where she seemed to be taken away from so much action. She uses many figurative language when writing the article such as hyperbole to exaggerate how Taken 1,2, and 3 should have different actors, theme and plot. Stevens also ends her article with a ironical statement saying "We will not look for him, we will not pursue him. But if he comes out with Taken 3, we will look for him, we will find him, and we will kill him." that wraps all her article together.

Stevens writes this article on Taken 2 not only warn the audience on what to expect, but also to show her aversion towards the movie. She explains though out the article why she did not like the movie. She uses this article not only to show how she agrees with some parts of the movie, mainly the ones that blowed her away, but also the parts in which he disliked how the director presented the ideas in a atrocious way. Stevens ends her article with a very stung and explicit statement saying "We will not look for him, we will not pursue him. But if he comes out with Taken 3, we will look for him, we will find him, and we will kill him." which is a line taken directly from the movie Taken.
