Persuasive Analysis #4

“The Raw politics reconfirm ‘rassilnization’ of nation,” an extremely humorous article, is an insight to the mind of an American citizen that appears to detest the rules and regulations of politics. Although the author allowed the audience to conjure his/her own political views on the 2008 presidential candidates, he uses pathos to adhere to the emotions of the people. The speaking, surprisingly, uses a happy, humorous motivating force; he realizes that most Americans already think politics are stupid childish games that call for a series of tits for tats. Frank Wooten is hoping that the audience will become emotionally charged and realize the impending jeopardy of the nations presidential future.

Within the article, Wooten’s stance on Clinton’s, Obama’s, McCain’s, and Regal’s characters is not only evidence of pathos, but also evidence of personal attack, which is attacking or praising the people who make an argument, rather than discussing the argument itself. Although the Wooten is looking out for the best interest of America, he uses emotion to distract the reader from the facts. Each of the candidates made political errors, but instead of judging their opinions or political decisions, the author, in a sense, attacks their character and demeanor. While reading this article, reader may agree or disagree with author based emotional humor, instead of a decision based on logic.

{Mr. Parry read the article its hilarious!!).
