Levy effectively uses logos by presenting the reader with all the facts and details of the event, however these horrific and unbelievable facts appeal to the readers emotions as well. She gives an overview of the whole incident while citing most of the information displayed, giving her paper credibility and showing the knowledge she possesses on Stuebenville. The power in the paper lies within the lack of discretion, Levy leaves none of the horrific details out of the article and bravely includes “she’s deader than O.J’s girl”(Levy). Levy purposely includes these unacceptable statments, to not only inform the reader of what kind of people were involved, but to elicit anger and frustration, appealing to the readers’ emotions. Levy’s use of pathos and logos, not only informs the readers of the incidents in Stuebenville, but to also encourage society to never let something of this magnitude happen

In “Black Friday…Gray Thursday”, an article written by Benjamin R. Barber, he expresses his concern not only in the day itself, but the driving forces behind it and implications it may have on our society as a whole. In his article, Barber notes that the hype surrounding “Black Friday” is beginning to cast a shadow over the Thanksgiving holiday and has renamed it “Gray Thursday”. The retail and marketing industries spend trillions of dollars every year to bombard consumers with countless advertisements through ever available means promising super buys, extended hours and freebies. As a result, consumers are convinced the things retailers need to sell are exactly the things they want to buy.
Buy Nothing Day Argument Essay Buy Nothing Day is a lesser known holiday that occurred a couple years past on Black Friday, a day traditionally known for buying an extravagant amount of goods in preparing for the upcoming holiday season.

Valenti provides many statistics of abuse against women here in the United States as well as examples of evidence for the mistreatment of women.

Jane Martin’s Beauty For the closed reading of a print text I chose to review Jane Martin’s “Beauty”, a short story that speaks about love and people striving to have something they do not already posses.
