    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

    Not that I like paying the extra 50 bucks but I know that they have a point and I too am getting used to forking up the extra cash if I travel.

Why Quit Smoking - American Lung Association - 0 views

    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.

The World's First Genetically Modified Babies Will Graduate High School This Year - 2 views

    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!

Protesters march, call for an end to 'police brutality' in Jersey City - 1 views

    Calls for an end to police brutality echoed down Martin Luther King Jr. Drive in Jersey City Saturday afternoon. "Stop police brutality!" and "No justice! No peace!" were some of the chants repeated by about two dozen protesters, both young and old, as they marched more than a mile from McAdoo Avenue to Martin Luther King Plaza around 1 p.m. This is definitely in response to the police brutality, which helps identify it as a rhetoric piece.

    This is a really cool article on how teens come together and have the power to make a statement against their limitations. Whether it's by how they dress or their actions on social media, teens are making their voices heard.
