WRIT 116.024

In this specific article the writer is arguing for legalization of marijuana for those who have reached their 21st birthday.

This article is about airlines telling travelers to get used to fees because they are now a way of life and aren't going anywhere

I believe that this is rhetorical writing. With smokers being the primary audience, it seeks to persuade them to quit by informing them of all the reasons why they should stop. This article also states facts, builds community for smokers aiming to quit, etc.

I stumbled upon this article on Yahoo and clicked on it because the title intrigued me. I believe this article is rhetorical because it is planned. The word choice is thought out and the topic is explained to those who are previously uninformed. It is responsive and evident by the slew of comments further down the page. Also, the article address the contingent issue of whether genetically alter babies is ethical. This piece shapes knowledge because I learned facts I didn't know about, as well as I'm sure other people learned.

Weird, definitely a contingent issue though. If people found out you were a genetically modified person, you would probably be labeled a freak.

This was interesting to read about. Definitely a rhetorical article!

I thought it was interesting to read the stories of some transgender students that are around the same age that we ar.

I took the quiz and got a Tattoo of Wings.. Definitely not my style, I'm more of a tribal girl.
