38. "The Best Reality Makeover Show Yet. Really."

June Thomas wrote an article to Slate Newspaper on May 23, 2013 talking about one makeover show that really does what they said they do. There is always a new show being creating, but nothing is ever new. It's always the same thing such as stars, home makeovers, and family businesses. Bret Michael's  the host of the home makeover show, isn't as all the other celebrities we have seen. He is a genuine person with the want to help people who are in tough situations. He graduated from family vacations to logging millions of miles on a tour bus just to help out the community. He knows he is just the host of the show and not the expert, so he does his part and does not intrude in the other people's part.

The author uses many rhetorical devices in his article. One of them would be that Thomas provided a lot of background information on the origin of the show and the host, Bret Michaels. This allows the reader to develop a well rounded idea on the purpose of the home makeover show and why it has become a popular television show. The author also uses good vocabulary that attracts the reader into wanting to read more about it. Lastly, the structure from was very simple but very well developed to getting Thomas's point across.
