These days I read a news about Syrians refugees from Syria, and that costs lots of casualties. In order to show audiences how bad situation those refugees have, editor put many pictures of refugees escaped from Syria. Especially the picture of a gone boy on the beach, which is very famous recently. Then news shows number 4088099, which is roughly estimated of refugees of Syria. Then it shows there ways that refugees used to have three pathways to get to Europe, but they are facing tons of hinders. First they should pay traffickers huge fees, or they can not go to Europe, and they have to elude flames of war, many of their family members got lost during that time, then news gave an example of refugees, his name is Mohammed, he used to be a businessman in Syria, because war he has to carry his family to flee from calamity. On the way to Europe, he ran out of all money, finally his family got on the boat to Europe, but when they almost got on land,the boat sunk, eight of his family members died, he is the only one survived.
This a very sorrowful event, we can see many rhetoric used in this news. First we can ethos was used, people cherish life, after read this news, audiences must feel sad and cherish life. Of course no one wants war, peace is the final goal of this world, so this is the thought that editor wants to tell. And this news also used pathos, it shows how bad situations that those refugees have, in order to make people take pity on them. Then it can make people accept refugees from Syria.
Well this is a good news that used many rhetoric ways, it does affect me a lot.

The blog does a decent job of pointing out the means of persuasion used in the various news stories about Syrian refugees. However the blog post focuses more on the facts of the Syrian refugees than the actual means of persuasion.
