Christine Yang's ENG2100

The main argument in the Fox News article is to show how prevalent racism is in their society. Furthermore, it displays how the white American treats a black American unfairly. The purpose of this article was to show how people in that community voiced their opinion. The intended audience were the viewers of Fox 5, however the secondary audience could be the African American race because they can relate to it on a more personal level. Everyone acknowledges that racism exists but to the race involved, it is more of a sensitive topic. Since people acknowledge that there is a separation of race, people tend to focus on the particular nationality that was involved in the crime. In this case, because Brown was black, the media decided to make a report on it. The Aristotelian appeal was pathos because it used emotion to engage the readers. The significance of the graphics displayed was to show police enforcement.
