I am emailing you with comments!
Source#1:“Conor McGregor` is the posterchild for toxic Masculinity” by CCN.com. Simply put, this article is about how Conor McGregor was able to garner support and have a reporter who asked him question regarding his pending sexual assault case look like the bad guy. It’s a rarely bad scene because the fans boo the guy and the UFC president allowed it to happen and he also brushed aside the question. The genre for this piece is educational. The audience for this piece are fight fans and maybe even investors of the company because this was a really sick at that should have consequences. The article appeals more towards pathos or emotions because it portrays the sickening act undertaken by the UFC to protect its posterchild, which would make nearly anyone angry. The author presented the article in a neat and formal manner. The author, Aubrey Hansen, has written multiple articles and is currently requesting funding to produce a movie, so I’d say she is fairly credible.
Source#2:.“Media – Gatheje: ‘Outside of Conor McGregor, Khabib Has Probably the Most Toxic Fans.’” This article is about how a fighter named Gatheje, who is an all around nice guy, being harrased by Khabib fans simply because Gatheje wants to win the belt. The genre for this piece is comedic, because they not only give their takes, they also have a bit of fun with it. The audience for this piece are fight fans that take the sport a little too passionately. The post is more than likely logos because they’re showing the harsh reality fighters have to go through when they’re going up against a fan favorite. The author portrays their writing as if they were having real life conversation with someone. Basically, it’s worded like a normal conversation. Seeing as how this is a post on a forum website, their credibility can be questioned, so this is a valuable, but not reliable source.
Source#3: “Jessica Eye Has a Little Message for Critical A-Holes in the UFC Community…” This article is about Jessica Eye being bullied by mma fans because she was slotted for a main even spot and the fans didn’t like it because her fights aren’t all that entertaining. The genre for this article is kind of like self-help in a sense because it explains all the problems female fighters go through, so hopefully in the future female main events will be treated like male main events. I think this article leans towards the pathos, or emotion, because it makes you feel the frustration that Jessica and other female fighters must go through. The author presents the story in a serious and sharp tone to showcase the pain and frustration that Jessica was suffering at the hands of the trolls. The author, Jesse Holland has been writing mma-related articles as early as 2015, so I do believe she is a reliable source.
Source#4: “Money Talks as ESPN and UFC Still Cling to Toxic Conor McGregor Brand.” This article is about the UFC trying their hardest to paint renowned star Conor Mcgregor in a wholesome light. The genre for this article is Satirical on account of the author just continuously ripping on Mcgregor over and over. The audience could be for people that don’t or do like Conor because they may no longer be fans when they find out what he is really like. This article appeals towards ethos or credibility, because it’s showcasing that the Conor they were portraying earlier this year was a sham and a façade. The tne of this arrticle is a sarcastic and sneering tone, one full of distaste. This author has written many sports-related articles, but none of them were as filled with disaste like the Mcgregor one, s I’d still say that he is a credible source, but not necessarily a reliable one in this case.
“Boeing Calls for Global Grounding of 777s Equipped With One Engine Model” by Niraj Chokshi and Ben Dooley.
Summary: The F.A.A are looking into the situations on why the Pratt and Whitney engines are failing after a short take-off and the jets that use these engines are mainly the Boeing 777 jets which are grounded until a safe and thorough inspection of the engines are made which United Airlines uses with 69 grounded and 59 in storage. While Boeing contacts other nations around the world that use the same make and model of the engines to ground the jets as well.

Yet another Boeing plane has a problem
Summary: Having a bad reputation as the years go on by Boeing a 777X was being tested and failed during the flight process some of the issues were, the test included wings being bent on the runway and failed because it bent it 99% during the entire test or having one of the doors come off during the test. Intended audience travelers and the author appeals to the intended audience by giving facts and statistics of the new Boeing 777X . The author wants you to know that this jet would be one of its kind since it can carry more passengers and seeing if it is worth flying on these new jets. It creates emotion because it is a new jet that Boeing wants to add to their fleet and the jet might appeal to you as well but is it worth flying on the 777X when you see all the problems with the 777X? The author is credible because the author is a correspondent of transportation.
Engine Maker Under Scrutiny After Series of Aircraft Mishaps
Summary: Pratt and Whitney a well know company making engines since WWII is targeted for their poor performance over the last couple of months because of all the problems that the jets that use the Pratt and Whitney engines all have issues, some blame that the inspectors lack the training to tell whether the fan blades need to be switched out or not. The intended audience is audiences/businesses and they appeal to the intended audience by telling facts and statistics such as the 1989 accident, a Boeing 737 crashed killing 47 people and the cause is broken fan blades. The author wants you to know that having order and proper training can make a huge difference because the lack of training and the lack of inspections can lead to accidents. The author creates emotion by showing statistics and giving facts and creates logic, one example is whenever a company buys a jet for example the 777 they are able to change the engines that the jets will use so if they don’t like the Pratt and Whitney engines they can fit another engine. The author Niraj is credible because Niraj writes about transportation so Niraj has a lot of experience on these subjects so his sources are reliable.

In this article, the author essentially talks about ways to avoid getting scammed. I learned that a lot of people tend to buy sneakers fast that they don’t even think about but in the reading, the author said to think about it and not to buy it right away.

But being a truly informed online shopper now requires us to have an advanced degree in internet scams and the business of how products are marketed, sold and transported around the world. This is a pattern with online news, entertainment, merchandise and more.” This piece basically explains that online shopping is a vast enterprise, complete with consultancy firms that advise on false ratings, apps marketed to help customers detect and exploit price gaps, and towns packed with warehouses that repackage online orders. This is how shopping is done nowadays.

Source One: ” Study examines impact of pandemic on nurses ”
This article/ interview discusses how Covid 19 has impacted nurses at work and how caring for Covid 19 patients has impacted them at home. The source also talks about the mental health problems many of these frontline nurses are experiencing. This source is informational, but it also is a interview style article because it has questions embedded into the piece as sub headings, that are answered by frontline nurses. Pathos is used in the article throughout the detailed explanations about how the nurses are scared to go home to their families resulting in hotel stays, and minimum family time. This will provoke emotions in people, because family is always a touchy subject for mostly everyone and no one wants to be apart from loved ones long.
Source 2 : “How Covid 19 is affecting nurses mental health and what to do about it”.
This source is focused on the extensive long hours nurses have worked throughout this pandemic. It also discusses the pressure resting on nurses shoulders daily while battling the anxiety of catching the virus. This is a article that I find to be very reliable, because of all the statistics and evidence used to back up every claim made. The article has statistics as the subheadings at the beginning of the article, which is a good opening because you are letting the readers know what they are about to specifically about to learn about. Every piece of data is linked to a source which it was pulled from, which strengthens the argument.
Source 3: ” What’s it like to be a nurse during the coronavirus Covid 19 pandemic”
This source is a blog post written directly from a nurse who witnessed the pandemic from the frontlines. Nurse brooke explains the downsides and also included the good times as well. This source was a little different, because it included some upsides to working as a frontline nurse and I was able to understand how much the PPE protective gear serves a purpose to the nurses; and makes them feel much better mentally and physically . The text used ethos effectively throughout the credibility that was established by having an actual nurse telling us these things. We can trust her because of the degree she has and the experience she has from being in the hospital almost everyday of the pandemic.
Source 4 : ” A day in the life of a nurse during the Covid 19 pandemic”
This is another source that comes from a actual frontline worker nurse although her story was written for her. This source discusses how a nurse has to still work even though her family may have compromised immune systems. The text explains the stress that falls onto a nurse to make money while be safe. I feel fear is used thoroughly in this article, which falls under pathos, because the audience becomes scared for the nurses families, due to the authors choice of theme and the tone. You can trust the author because we know the information is coming from a completely credible person.
