Editor's Notes
- Facts will be explained here
- Introduction to articles
- Article 1: shows more pathos (feelings as they do not yet know the hard facts, but only appeal to the feeling associated with the crisis and victims) - point 5) “we will get to the bottom of this” indicates a temporary solution to the crisis and the actions that the White House will take. The articles also states: Moving forward, better crowdsourcing will be key to improving security” Article 2: more based on logos (logical thinking of how to prepare and avoid future terrorist actions in large crowds) - point 5) “If you see something, say something” indicates that people have started to help each other to avoid crises like this.
- We argue that this particular crisis has come to an end. The Boston Marathon has been held successively this year and preparations have been taken to avoid the crisis from 2013 to evolve further in 2014.
