2. My response isn’t such a shocked response as it may be for commonly encountered photos possibly because the up close view of the picture doesn’t show destruction on such a widespread scale as photos often show and it also has the absence of casualties. Its different because it is showing the affect the disaster is having on children rather than just the people of the community as a whole. In some situations this can create more sympathy.
3. I would not choose this photo because it doesn’t show the extent of the destruction that it needs to show so not as many people might think they need to support.

Pro dream act article:

Ethos – uses multiple reasons and examples to support argument with reliable sources, doesn’t leave out any important underlying detail, the author is being slightly unfair in that he doesn’t show any argument towards the other side of the issue. The author uses many examples on how this act will be good for American communities and how its better for people if enacted. The author adapts a very professional character throughout the article explaining in very supportive and sophisticated ways in why its a good idea to go along with this bill thus helping further the support gained for his argument.

Pathos – The author wants the audience to feel sympathy for the people being affected from the outcome of the act, and he achieves this by giving examples of people that may have to be deported and also giving good examples of what good things can come of allowing all the people to continue staying in the U.S, these feeling help the writers aim because it gives good reason to support the argument rather than oppose it.

Anti Dream Act article:

Ethos – presents many reasons as to why the dream act is not good and also use data and statistics to further his side of the argument, no very important details are left out, the author is fair with his argument in the fact that he does see other sides to his argument in his article. The author builds his credibility on stating how enacting the dream act  may harm and all together have no benefit to the citizens and communities of the country. The authors takes a very professional along with somewhat aggressive character in this article in that he uses good examples as well as statistics to explain why his side of the argument is the way to go but is also a bit aggressive in his attempt to get people to see that its not right or worth it to pass this act.

Pathos – The author wants the audience to feel betrayed and upset at what the dream act is trying to say it will do but in the end will cause other problems. He achieves this by using examples, and some statistical examples, to explain how the dream act presents itself as something that will in turn be good for american communities but in the end will come at a cost. This helps the writers aim because showing this may bring the audience to believe that they are being lied to and that this side of the issue is the side that should be supported.
