39. Let's Be Clear: Establishing a 'No-Fly Zone' Is an Act of War

http://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2013/05/lets-be-clear-establishing-a-no-fly-zone-is-an-act-of-war/276319/

On May 29th, Conor Friedersdorf wrote for The Atlantic about the “no-fly zone” policy adopted by the United States towards the war in Syria. Friedersdorf is firm in his conviction that this term is the total opposite of what the U.S. has actually done. He believes that it is a euphemism for declaring war against Syria. After introducing the topic, Friedersdorf describes and quotes authors and politicians to support his idea that the “no-fly zone” actually means sending weapons to contain and confront the Syrian forces.

The author’s purpose in writing this article is to inform and persuade his audience not to fall for what appears to be true about the “no-fly zone”. His tone is satirical and mocking, since he uses irony to make fun of the U.S. government’s attempt to use the euphemism, especially in the last sentence. He is more informal than formal because of the use of expressions, contractions, first person. Most of the times in the article, the use of short paragraphs are meant to emphasize on an idea and the long paragraphs expand on those ideas. The author is not really effective to persuade those who do not agree with him since he does not use solid evidence to support his idea about the U.S. waging war against Syria.

http://www.slate.com/blogs/the_slatest/2013/05/25/french_soldier_stabbed_in_the_throat_outside_paris.html

Daniel Politi wrote on May 25th, about an attack on a French soldier on patrol near the "western outskirts of Paris." The report stated information about the victim and where he was when the attack happened. The victim was transported to a hospital where he was under treatment, but the incident did not keep the French citizens assured of safety. Politi quoted the Washington Post by saying it "sent a shudder through the French capital." The second paragraph of the article talked more about the criminal, what he was wearing and how he disappeared from the scene. Although the identity and the reason behind the assult was unknown, President Francois Hollande assured the journalists the police were investigating everything.

Politi's purpose in writing this article was to inform everyone, particularly the French people, about the assult.  His report about the incident was short, yet contained a lot of information about the issue. This was successfully achieved through the author's objective words to describe the situation. In addition, the short and coherent syntax contributed to the informative approach of the article because it directly stated the facts and the information following each idea had a logical flow that allowed the reader to understand what was going on. Throughout the article, Politi referenced the Washington Post, and Reuters, both of which would be considered as highly respected and credible sources to support his arguments. Furthermore, he alluded to a recent murder of a London soldier and quoted President Francois Hollande's words in order to provide true facts.

38. Iraq’s Sectarian Violence: Bombings Plunge Country Into Deadly Spiral

http://world.time.com/2013/05/21/iraqs-sectarian-violence-what-will-stop-the-deadly-spiral/

Bombings are chaotic and leave great destruction. Monday in Basra, a mostly Shi’ite city 420 km from Baghdad, a bomb went off at a sandwich kiosk. It was one of two in the city and many more were in Iraq. Reports say that dozens of bombs went off in markets, mosques, and bus station. There have been 95 deaths and over 250 wounded. Yet, these bombings are only the most recent in a bloody time in Iraq. While it is unknown who is responsible for the bombings, some believe that domestic and political rifts are the first cause. The Shi’ite majority has conflicts with the Sunni minority. Stephen Wicken  who works for the Institute for the Study of War in Washington, D.C. says, “You often hear people saying, Is it 2006 again…Other people are saying, No, it’s 2003 again, which is probably closer to the mark, actually, in terms of security forces acting as bullet magnets in the way that coalition forces did a decade ago.” This spring has proven to be a bloody one for the nation and there is little optimism. The future looks very grim overall. Wiken said, “Any situation in which there is a high level of tension and where there are people pointing weapons at each other, it’s a magnet to groups like al-Qaeda to come in and destabilize things or provoke people to go over the edge.”

Nate Rawlings starts with a personal story about when he witnessed the carnage from a bombing. His story was sad and gives a glimpse on the tragedies. The story also establishes credibility because he was there and has experience in the country as well as situation. Rawlings uses tallies from the Associated Press along with a few other findings. A bit of past information is given to remind the reader of past evens.

State officials state that the bridges are being inspected. However, they are still at risk of collapsing and millions of drivers cross these bridges without knowing that.

The audience of this article are Americans, since this problem is occurring in the USA and the victims are those who live there.

Politi writes about the bridges collapsing which is a true fact that most people already know. His tone is serious, which means that action must be taken soon. Politi does a good job in informing people and letting people realize the significance of knowing this problem which can hurt many people.
