I read an article about Hillary Clinton, one of the most popular candidates right now, from New York Times News. The title is “Why is Clinton disliked?” It seems to be a reasonable and persuasive article for me, so I want to talk about it. The main topic of this article obviously is about Clinton. It said that “Clinton’s unpopularity is akin to the unpopularity of a workaholic.” And the writer used a lot of rhetoric to support this claim.
In the beginning of of this article, the writer points out that there are two paradoxes to her unpopularity. First is that, she used to be popular and the second is that, she did a lot of good things such as charity and she was a dedicated public server. In order to support these two points, the writer uses statistics from New York Times and CBS News poll to state that these two paradoxes actually exist. After explaining these two paradoxes, the writer claims that because of the hardworking and dedicated role of Clinton, people will tend to sense her not as a person, but a role. In this case, the writer writes this part in a logical order : first, he writes about paradoxes and then uses these paradoxes to support that she is unpopular because of these paradoxes. At the end of the article, the writer uses couple sayings from the famous people to tell us that even successful people need leisure so that they can be regarded as real people. Overall, I think this article is persuasive that it makes me think Clinton is unpopular because of her hard working role.

This is very interesting. It gave me a perspective on Clinton I had not really seen before.

This is a very interesting topic and it is only getting more relevant as the election comes closer. The author of the article gives his unique perspective about why Hillary Clinton is so unpopular among voters, even with her opponent being Donald Trump. It is even more intriguing that the author's two main points are about how Clinton is a hard worker and a good public server. These would seem like things that would make her a likable candidate for president.
ReplyDeleteThis is interesting. I have never really known much about why Clinton was disliked or the reasons behind it before reading this, but i was always curious why he was.
ReplyDeleteIt changed the way I viewed Clinton. But at the same time they still mention how good she is. This article really caught my eye.
